Doubleday Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible: Master the Finesse Swing and Lower Your Score

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.

Although a little long winded to start off, once you've got through the research and background I found the book very useful for improving my short game. I found it useful to practice from my armchair during inclement weather then put into practice on better days. Like any book it is not a miracle worker and the only real way to improve is practice, but using Daves tips I now have some factual info to put into my practice.

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.

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.

Full of great advice, if a bit heavy-going, a DVD version would be good!
