I don't doubt this at all but for anyone that has golfed often, you'll run into many golfers that hit great drives often, sometimes are decent with their irons, are terrible at chipping, terrible in bunkers and then they 3 putt most holes. They obviously practice at the range and that's it.

A lot of golfers look better than their actual scores reflect.

The best part of my game is short game/putting so I notice this maybe more than most.
