With all due respect to the guys saying "short game", it has been proven that the biggest gap between really good golfers and average at best golfers, is the long game. Keeping it in play off the tee and shrinking your proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards will have he greatest impact on your scores.

This is my problem, I'm long, but if I'm long in the wrong direction I'm fricked. Short game is important, and it's the first part of my game to go if I've been away from it long enough, but keeping it in the fairway and GIR is when I score. A good short game will save par from what should be a bogey.

How many putts are there "supposed" to be per round (36)? How many tee shots are there per round (18)? Understand the hazards and out of bounds on approximately 1/3 of the holes increase the significance somewhat, but if people spend twice as much time practicing putting as they do drivers and metal threes their scores would go down a lot.

With all due respect...no
You want some humility? Go play with these 70+ year old golfers that are shooting their age. Hit it 120 yards and still shooting under 80.
Short game is where you lose strokes on your score.
