They will say the little pitch from somewhere around fifty yards, the one that is too long for a chip and too short for a full swing, where the green sits there asking for a soft, accurate strike and the body has no idea how hard to hit it. It is the shot that follows a good drive that came up just short of the green on a par five, the shot left after a missed approach, the shot that should turn a scrambling par into a tap-in and instead produces a thinned screamer over the back or a fat one that travels half the distance. More rounds are quietly ruined here than anywhere else, and almost nobody practises it.</p>
