  After more than a thousand games here.  My question is:

  WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS GOING TO DO ABOUT YOUR PITCHING, CHIPPING AND FLOPPING INCONSISTENCIES.  I get a good game going then find that rsather than a birdie or par, I end up with a 6 or 7 because the chip is either WAY short or WAY long according to your piece of *** swing meter.

  In my view, those points are among the most consistent parts of the game. Have to checked out this guide? Many people say it has great basics and then if you have specific questions, feel free to ask.

  p.s I wrote the guide 2 years ago and updated it about a year back. I think it still holds true.

  I wish the same could be said about fringe putting. Most of the time it works well - but on some holes its a complete nightmare. It is extremely annoying to see a 10ft putt move two inches.

  On 'some' of those holes it is also performing as intended. Many often forget that those places are VERY hard shots...usually 15-20ft from the hole, 5-10inches down. So, even with best shot it will be very hard to get close. Try using 30ft meter...

  That guide and niv's guide as i have said before have helped me and many others more than you will ever know.

  PS I checked the op's equipment and unless he just switched he has been and is using the tour starter wedges and putter. That is con conducive to a great or even a good short game.

  The problem is not in the game or the game format but rather take a look at your stats. I do not intend to sound mean or snide but your problem is easily observed. 

  1. You continually play Kiawah more than any other course. This course is one of the easier courses and requires very little chipping, pitching or flopping. Try playing tougher courses like BP and Oakmont. 

  2. Play more match play. A good trick with flopping is to stop on the left edge line of the of the blue area. This will make the ball go straight here is what I mean
  |----blue area |---blue area|. The middle line is the ding line so stop it on the left line. Ensure you have full Backspin.

  2a. Meter is not a WGT problem------> search threads for fixing meter or ask around

  3. Here is your sand and scrambling you need to be in the 50% and better

  Scrambling  %	23.78%
