We have referenced the quote “drive for show, putt for dough” a few times in our posts. The importance of the short game cannot be undervalued and as world renowned instructor Dave Pelz said, 80% of handicap strokes are lost to par inside 100 yards of the hole! Perhaps that’s why he has such a ridiculous backyard to practice!
Phil Mickelson is well known for his genius in the short game and helping him along the way is his longtime caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay! Earlier in the week, Phil visited the Callaway HQ to share the Claret Jug and Bones appeared to have tagged along as well! You don’t win a Major Championship without great putting and Bones shared some tips with Callaway on how to make those putts when it counts! Bones also shared some tips on reading greens on Golf Digest! He’s definitely a man worth listening to!
