The short game is boring and the pins are in easy locations and most good SEC men golfers could win every week out there.
I went to a couple rounds of the event the LPGA had for a couple years at Mount Vintage Plantation, not too far from where I live (and not too far from Augusta for that matter). What was it, maybe 10-15 years ago?
I was mystified by the (lack of) short game on exhibit. Annika Sorenstam didn't seem to mess up as many routine short game shots as some of the other players but she never seemed to hit it close to the hole either. Admittedly I only watched a dozen or so players over two rounds but Cristie Kerr was the best chipper/pitcher/bunker player I observed and there are a few 3-handicappers at my club who could hang with her in a chipping contest.
Many of the players were unable to execute well on even the most routine shots around the green. I remember watching three of them in a row chipping from either the fairway or light rough on one hole, trying to get the ball up past a false front and then judge a good-sized break in the final 20 feet once the ball was up on the proper level. One of them had the ball come back to her feet, another hit a good chip that ran 10+ feet past the hole and the third hit the ball up on the green but totally on the wrong line and ending up miles away from the hole.
Every player on my local NCAA men's team chips those shots inside six feet. Probably one in three would have holed out or left it six inches. Perhaps the LPGA Tour today has better short games on display. Lydia Ko seems handy around the greens. But it's still a mystery to me why shot that require nothing but practice, judgement and touch wouldn't be executed at 100% as high a level by a 10-year LPGA veteran as by a similarly experience man.
