Wedge practice should not be neglected and you cannot become elite without being good at them. That said, having a driver that you can find consistently and that you hit near your potential is also a requirement to score well. Need both.
This is mostly correct but assumes you are playing from the right tees for your skill level with the driver. If you are playing from 6,700 yards and drive the ball 210 yards, you aren’t hitting many greens in regulation, no matter how good you are with wedges…to be competitive from longer distances, you have to be able to drive the ball 260+

Definitely agree. Awful drives can destroy a round and make you hate golf lol
