Interesting stuff......


Great game for showing if you're weak from there in. Doesn't show if you're weak getting to that point. If you shoot par, 1/2 your shots on average are on/at the green so it is key, but if it takes you twice as many to get there as it should, a great short game won't save you.

Yup.

Drive for show, putt for dough only applies to people who get off the tee, in play, without penalties.

A stroke is a stroke, and you don't take stroke+distance penalties on the putting green
