• John Franks takes an in-depth look at scoring trends and gives your game a kickstart in 2008.
• Reflection - Before preparing for 2008, John looks back at 2007, confirming that the golf courses are getting longer and the sloggers are taking over.
• Off the Tee - You either need to be very long or very accurate. Mr average just doesn't cut it.
• Approach Play - Simply put, the best iron player is the best player. This is because the closer you hit your approach shot, the greater your chance of holing the subsequent putt.
• Short Game - Don’t be fooled by TV. The facts are world class golfers are awesome at standard chipping when they have green to play with, achieving up and down success rates of 65% plus. But everyone struggles with the tough ones.
• Putting - There is not much to say about putting. Tour golfers are great from inside ten feet on good surfaces. But just like the chipping, you'd be surprised at the number of long putts that are holed - even by the best.
