good story on the cover of the times...
The only thing in golf that has not changed is the average score for 18 holes. Neither the average weekend player nor the world's best golfers have managed to get the ball in the hole any sooner.
The average 18-hole score for the average golfer remains at about 100, as it has for decades, according to the National Golf Foundation, an industry research and consulting service.
Among more serious recreational golfers who register their scores with the United States Golf Association, the average handicap index, a scoring tool, has dropped 0.5 strokes since 2000. On the PGA Tour this year, the average score of players has risen, by 0.28 strokes, compared with the average 10 years ago.
"Maybe we're all supposed to stink at this," said David Feherty, a columnist for Golf Magazine and a commentator on CBS's golf telecasts. "It's our punishment for playing this insane game."

read the story. it talks about both of those things. it also talks about how unimportant driving the ball is and yet how people obsessed with 400 dollar drivers. what i got from the story is that we should all work on our games from 50 yards in. it's actually quite a good stroy, but a lame chart. no other art to go with it unfortunately.
drive for show
putt for dough
