Kent’s dead on with what he’s saying. But by that logic you’re pretty well stuck around the low 80’s. Get that hammer rolling and the sky’s the limit.
I don't know that I agree with that but I'm not good enough at golf to question.
Just saying I don’t think you’ll get much lower without ever using a driver. You’d basically have to be dead on with every single shot to get in the 70’s using nothing but irons. Not saying it’s impossible, just that adding distance to the mix will help.
And while it’s certainly true that a 6” putt is the same amount of strokes as a 300 yard drive, a 300 yard drive is worth half the strokes of two 150 yard iron shots. Control is key because you’re a lot more likely to get some penalty strokes with the hammer than you are with an eight iron, too.
It all comes down to balance and risk/reward. The only thing golfer A and golfer B will agree on is that golfer C is doing it wrong.
