Short Game Bible By Dave Pelz

Your short game is the key to a good score in golf. No matter how well you can drive, if you can’t chip or wedge your ball onto the right spot on the green, you’ll never be able to improve your score. Many golfers make the mistake of focusing on putting and driving, missing out on some key lessons that will actually make both easier over the long term. Whether you are having issues with your short game, or you are looking to shave a few points off your score, this book is an essential read.

The author did a great job of making the book readable by any golfer, regardless of their skill level. If you’re a rank beginner or an old pro, you’ll be able to understand absolutely everything discussed in this book. That’s no small feat given that the game can be full of confusing terminology and euphemisms. We found the author’s style to be very enjoyable and overall, this is a quick read that contains some hard hitting advice.

The first few chapters break down how golf is scored and the five different “games” that you’ll be playing. Since most golfers look at it as three games, ie: putting, driving and chipping, these chapters deserve more than just a once over. You’ll be learning just how much your short game can impact your entire score and the way that you play golf as a whole.

Next up are chapters that discuss bump and runs, the art of pitching properly and how to handle a wedge. We loved these chapters and found them to be incredibly informative and helpful. You never really realize how much you need a good short game until you break it down like this. The tips are incredibly worthwhile and should be suitable for everyone.

The author also covers how using the right club is vital for handling each situation that comes up. The chapter on equipment was eye-opening and explained quite a lot to us. We also loved the tips and tricks section and can’t wait to give each one a try the next time we are out on the course. By far, this is one of the best books we have ever read on the short game, and it deserves a high place of honor on any golfer’s book shelf.

We highly recommend this book to anyone that needs to improve their short game. It’s a quick read, but we still managed to pick up some vital tips that we could put right to you use on the course. By far, this is one of the best books on the subject and as we mentioned earlier, it’s perfect for any golfer, regardless of their skill level. If you have golfing buddies with a birthday coming up, this would make a great gift. We also recommend it for beginners so that they get the right foundation for the rest of their game.
