It is said that Tiger learned the game from the hole going out. He learned to putt first, chip second, pitch third, and on to the driver. A 300 meters drive counts as much a 1-inch putt. It may take you 3-shots to get on a Par-4, but if you have a 1-putt, your total strokes will be the same as a long hitter who gets on the green in regulation and 2-putts. If there is any equaliser in golf, it is on the green. Learn how to putt and win the competitions.
