The secret is his short game and putting. We gave him the nickname "One Putt Penner" a few years ago. He consistently lands the ball on the green where he has makeable one putts on most holes. Drive for show, putt for dough seems to be his motto  |
I played with a guy like that a few decades ago. Me and my buddies swinging away and spraying the ball around, out driving him by 100 yards and getting beat by him routinely.
