 The best and most logical scientific approach to golf ever September 2, 1999
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Dave Pelz looks at golf in a simple way: the closer the ball goes to your intended target, the lower your scores will be. Studying the professional game for years he found that the best players in the world were amazingly inaccurate when it came to wedgeplay. Needless to say that there was scope for improvement and Pelz describes a straightforward approach to the short game. It seems to have worked very well for all the pros who have committed themselves to it. You need time to read this book and then you need time to practice but once you applied the techniques described, your scores will definitely fall - and you will learn how fruitless it is to beat five-irons and drivers on the driving-range.
Great theory, but you have to work for the benefits December 31, 2001

First of all, no question that this book is close to THE short game bible. If (like me) you come from a technical background, you'll love this book - Pelz builds up his points in painful detail. However, only go for it if you honestly believe you can commit serious time (an absolute minimum of 3 hours a week) to short game practice. If, like most people, you can't, then go for Tom Watson's classic Getting Up And Down. Pelz is very technical indeed and unless (again, like me) you've just been laid off you won't have the time to put this into practice in the course of one season. No wonder the pros love it though. Oh, one more thing - some of his assumptions are understandably US-centric, so if you too play on a links course you can take some of his spin / stop predictions with a large, but windproofed, pinch of salt.

I'm not gonna waffle on or go into too much detail but i'm a 9 handicap golfer who is currently working hard to lower the handicap and bought this book based on reviews i read here. The "4x3" wedge syatem is a guaranteed stroke saver from 120yards in and although it does require a minimum of 3 wedges and some practise time on the range to fine tune your yardages it will definitely lower your scoring. Some will find the book a little technical but pelz leaves no doubt or question in any of his methods, everything is well explained and researched and when u watch the pros u can see that they all use this system on the short game. after reading this u will never again take a power swing with any wedge and u will save minimum 6 shots per round. Buy it!
Excellent Golf Instruction, A must if you want to improve. April 7, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
It all makes sense after you read this book. There are many different Golf Instruction Manuals and books written. Many talk about techique with the basic ball hitting and knocking your driver out of sight. That's fine if that's all you want to do, Hit the Ball out of sight. But how do you improve your scoring? Putting? I think that most people believe that " The more putts I can hole,I must improve my game". Wrong, It's your short game that improves your score ,the lesson learnt from this book is the nearer to the hole you are the more putts you will hole. Because it's easier to hole a 2 footer than a 10 footer. This book tells you how to get the ball closer to the hole. So then the old saying " Drive for Show, Putt for Dough" is almost true, but it depends on where you Putt from! A must read for any Golfer wanting to Improve.

This is one of those books that makes a lot of books you may already have redundant. This, in my opinion, is the best book there is on the short game. If you've just started to get a few books together, get this one and don't get any more on the short game. This will take you years to get through and work into your game, so why would you want another book on the subject. Dave Pelz's book on putting will sort out your putting Dave Pelz's Putting Bible and Jim McLean's "The 8 Step Swing" will sort your swing.The Eight-Step Swing Go to a pro and get a couple of lessons on sand play and you're set. Don't do what I did and buy 10 videos, 25 books and spend all your time analysing the hell out of it. (I had a bigger library than any of the golf pros I met!) Get these three books .....practice for hours.
You won't see many of these selling cheap in the secondhand section - that should tell you a story about how good it is
