Short Game

Your short game is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get until you get to your ball.

Short game is more of an artform that requires creativity than a single skill that you can use over and over again. There are a limitless number of scenarios you will encounter close to the green and it’s up to your imagination to figure out how you’re going to play it out.
