No More Three-Putts, Please!
Jerramy Hainline, Hilton Golf Academy
The only thing that can really ruin a good day on the golf course is having a lot of 3-putts! To hit a few good shots to a green and then finish it off with 3 putts, is painful to say the least. The reason people 3 putt a lot is because they have difficulty with the distances, not necessarily the aim.

According to Dave Pelz, 83% of the game is played with these clubs. And yet, most golfers practice or take lessons using middle irons! Follow the advice of Sam Snead as quoted in 1988, “The one mistake I made was practicing too many middle irons. If I had to do it all over again, I’d practice only the driver and wedges”. > View
