To preface: Trying to break that 85 mark on my home course. Have shot 82 on a shorter par70. But my golfing buddy has been saying our strategy is what's killing us. So I thought this would be a good book to read.
Anyone else? It was really good for seeing strokes gained stats and the author showing his work to get to his conclusions of why putting only accounts for X% of strokes gained and how it can be over-rated in terms of importance and all these Malcom Gladwell-esque obserations and data.
Honestly, it was hard for me to garner a whole lot of tangible takeaways for my game that I haven't already considered. For me, reading putts and compensating aim points away from where there's trouble and OB. For those of you that read it, what did you take away that shaved strokes off your game?
I kept some more detailed stats over a 9 hole round. Seemed like i was short and low sided on most all my putts- so I know that's where I need to work. Only had two truly awful shots. but really just didn't chip and putt super well. I feel like every round is different though where sometimes I chip and putt well but can't do other things well. so I'm not consistently good or consistently bad at any one thing ...
