Those above stats show if sergio could put he'd probably be on top of the tour. top 10 in gir and driving distance and bottom of putting. He's still in the top 10 on the money list but if he could put he'd probably be right there with tiger.
On another note, we have a guy I work with that was a former club pro and scratch golfer. A few coworkers and I decided on a bet with him we all assumed to be fair. He could pick any 3 clubs and we would get all of ours. He took a 3 iron, 7 iron and a wedge. (putted with his 3 iron)
We played 18 holes. The course stats 6875 from the back tees. rating/slope 72.3/128
Well lets just say we got whipped. He shot 1 under on the front and 2 under on the back.
With that said good iron play can make up for alot of driving errors. That round really started making me think about my tee shots. I would usually just pull out driver and rip away and hope for the best. After that little display I decided a little more accuracy would be much more important than the extra yards.
