Which Pro has the Best Short Game?

Post by Scott Selders »

Distance is Impressive, etc.

No one ever talks about the short game-250' and in.

We know who the Big Arms are-Garret Gurthie-Avery Jenkins-Jeremy Koling-Brinster etc.

We know who the Best Putters are-Jay Reading, Cam Todd, Michael Johansen, Josh Anthon etc

What I would like to know-

Which 3 NT Pro's have the best short game?

Which NEFA Pros have the best short game?

You'd think his superior short game would translate to Frizbeer... um nope.

Undefeated against him.

Hate him all you want, you haters, but Nikko is easily the best putter I have ever seen. His short game is money too.

He must be good at something if not everything. Afterall, he is the best golfer on the planet right now.

I personally have become a Nikko fan. He is fun to watch play which is good for the game, period. He should continue to mellow with age, but I hope he doesnt lose the competitive flare.

i've only seen him on youtube, but the way Nikko putts is pretty sick. it almost looks like he's putting a basketball into a bucket with his hyzer putt. i'm a nikko fan mostly because i find feldberg to be annoying. i wish anthon would play more- as his short game is sick.

are you talking short game as all "up-shots" or does that include putts as well? i've always enjoyed seeing Schweberger's up-shot thumbers though... that guy is the Jedi of thumbers and they skip like they're being controlled by a magic-wand.

lol. you're obsolete... haven't seen you in a pro field all year, but you're a pro?

I could probably name 50 people in NEFA with a better short game than you.
