Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from KnightPS who asks fellow members what trait or skill of a Tour pro would they choose to possess if they had the chance. For KnightPS, that would be the putting speed of a Tour pro, and our members get involved with plenty of different traits mentioned.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- davep043: “Distance. That’s the biggest separator between a decent amateur and a tour pro. At a five handicap, I suppose I’m a decent amateur, but give me the ability to add 50 yards to my drive, 20 or 30 yards to my irons, that would make a bigger difference to my scoring than short game, putting, mental toughness, any of them.”
- ebrasmus21: “Consistency without a doubt for me. During the course of a round, I am capable of hitting great shots, good shots, okay shots, bad shots and horrific shots. So my continuum looks like Great <———–> Horrific all within one round of golf. What I admire about the pros is that even though they hit bad shots their bad shots a lot of times aren’t that bad and they limit the number of horrific shots. If I could halve the number of horrific shots I hit and get the bad shots to be a touch better than they are, I could pass as a real golfer.”
- lazyjc4: “Iron game, no doubt. I’d be pretty good if I could hit 12-15 greens a round.”
- MtlJeff: “No question short game for me. Living in Canada I don’t get to practice it as much as I’d like and you lose a lot during the winter. A pro’s short game would be a foreign concept for me!”
- FromDeepIntheTrees: “Would also like to be able to hit it as high as Rory. Ball flight is such an advantage on so many of the courses nowadays.”
