Bible is no exaggeration
Dave Pelz has researched the short-game, thoroughly! ......Very thoroughly! This is not book of golf tips, certainly NOT quick tips. It is a text book on SCORING Golf from 120 yards in. This is where Golf matches are won and lost. Long drives only take the Amateur further into the woods. But, precision and consistent short game beats distance every time! I have applied the lessons from this book, and I have beaten players MUCH 'better' [ i.e. lower Handicapped] than me. I am a 14.8 Handicapper I have used what I learned from this book to win the scratch medal, from 30 better players! With my Handicap, I have repeatedly come in the Top five in Club Competitions.

Very helpful book on the Short Game
I got more out of this than Pelz's Putting Bible, and that's saying something as I got a heap out of that. Lots and lots of ways to improve ones short game, some of which I've put into action already and have already gained positive results from. It's long and repetition is used to groove what's being taught, which I found great.

Pelz is a worthwhile read.
Dave Pelz goes into great detail covering every apect of the short game and you will adopt a lot of his ideas into your game. Unlike his book on putting, which I found very heavy reading, this covers aspects of the short game succinctly and I have incorporated a lot of his ideas into my game. I would be very interested if he ever turned his attention to the full swing and driving for though their are many books on the subject his approach is good for he tackles the subject for Mr Average. The best teachers are not always the best golfers and vice-versa.

Fantastic instruction book on golf's short game.
Forget trying to drive the ball another ten yards into the bushes, Accurate shots from shorter distances lead to lower scores on your card. A superb instruction manual and one I will keep referring to for as long as I play golf. The perfect Christmas/Birthday (or Father's Day) present for the aspiring golfer.

100 yards in is where the money is made... get this book!
This is a BIG book considering it focuses on shots from 100 yards in. There is a lot to digest in this book, but it's worth it. If you can stick with it you can develop a system used by many pros, to dial in your wedge play.

Dave Pelz gives terrific insights onto scoring in general and the short game in particular, based on what he observed and measured on the PGA Tour. He adopts a strategic view on how to improve scoring. From this factual observation, Mr Pelz then develops his approach, based on 4 wedges and "finesse" swings. The credentials are impressive with several major titles won by his clients. I find that the analysis part alone justifies buying the book. Regarding the method, and the technique in particular, the reading is very interesting even if one does not adopt it. for example, Janzen and Singh (among others) have followed the Pelz system, while Mickelson, another Pelz client, does most shots with his 60° wedge. Overall, this book is a must for anyone who is serious about understanding the short game. It is a very good complement to Mickelson's book.

The reviewers name is Cheryl but I'm her husband giving this review. I'm also going to post this review with the Pelz Short Game Bible also since most comments apply to both books. The big caveat mentioned is that I took the Pelz 3-day short game school and then bought and read the Putting and Short Game Bibles. Because I went to his school these books are invaluable as resource material and as reminders of the tools and techniques we learned in the school. I have friends who've read the books and have tried to apply the techniques without the advantage of having had personal instruction and they've had less success. If you're reading this you're a golfer who wants to improve but you probably understand it's hard (impossible in my opinion) to self-teach and self-correct putting and swing flaws. For example, I read Pelz's earlier book "Putting Like the Pros" and followed the techniques to a tee (no pun intended) or so I thought. I thought I was doing everything right but was still putting poorly. I learned in the school I was doing several things incorrectly even though I thought I was doing what Dave outlined in his book. That's not to poo-poo the Putting or Short Game Bibles if you haven't, or don't intend to take one of his schools, because there's a lot of valuable information in both books that should improve your game. Just be aware that much of the material is difficult to fully comprehend via the written word as opposed to visual input from real professionals. As an example of some changes that I made that you wouldn't get from the book had to do with my putter. I had a standard lie putter that was 35 1/2 inches long. I'm 6'3" so that sounds reasonable…right? Well, it was determined in class based on my set-up, posture, putter path, eye-line, etc., that I really needed a putter that was 33 1/2" long which "forced" me to get into a proper posture and set-up. I also had to change the putter head weight, lie angle, and grip. These are things that you won't get from the book but may be critical to your ultimate success. There's some other things too, like the "finesse grip" and 7:30-9:00-10:30 swing positions in the short game that some might find confusing. Also, be aware that even though I went to the school making changes to your putting set-up, putter, stroke, etc., can be very frustrating and it will take time and require some serious practice. The same applies to the short game. Nobody ever said golf is easy though great players make it look as though it is. There are two putting aids that I will highly recommend if your serious enough to get the book and work on your putting and that's Dave's "Putting Tutor" and his "Teacher Putting Clips". He has a bunch of aids but these two are the best if you want to improve your putting. They can make a real difference in your putting accuracy. The Clips give you feed back on hitting putts on the putter sweet-spot (a critical element to good putting), and the putting tutor will confirm that your eyes are over the line of the putt and that you are able to stroke the putt along the intended path. The nice thing is that they can, and should, be used in your home. The putting tutor can be used on the practice green but that's not necessary except perhaps as a periodic check. These can purchased on Pelz' web site. I do have one criticism of the Short Game Bible and that has to do with the pitch shot (3-30 yards from the green) situations that you will confront on any course. That chapter is too general and I think more time should have been devoted to the numerous situations and alternative shot options and techniques that you should consider. Good luck, I hope my comments helped.
