When this book was titled “bible,” it’s the single-way intention of the author; now you read it, check it with others and agree it’s a bible, it becomes the bible. |

Do I believe in Dave Pelz? I paid full price to go to his school, and it was the best money I've ever spent. I could not have won my second U.S. Open without his help. I am a believer. |

In one day's work with Pelz, I learned more about putting than I had known my entire life. |

Dave Pelz knows more about putting than Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Ben Crenshaw combined! |

This book covers everything that you will ever want to know or need to know about putting. The knowledge that I have gained from this book has improved my putting tremendously. There is nothing like playing with your buddies and nailing most of the putts from 6 feet in. Dave points out the realistic odds of making putts from certain distances. This concept stopped me from being frustrated by missing 15 - 20 footers.
I have used his setup routine and I have practically eliminated all pushes in my stroke. I am finally putting straight. I go through an exercise at my club where I putt 20 balls from 6 - 8 feet, before I read this book I was hitting 9 out of 20. After reading the book and taking in some of the concepts I made 19 out of 20! The chapter on reading greens is a must read for all golfers.
If you don't have the Short Game Bible, run out and get that book also. Both of those books have shaved 10 strokes off of my game. I played 9 holes yesterday and shot 41 on par 36 without hitting a green in regulation. Way to go Dave!

Fifteen stars! This is simply the best book to improve your putting that has ever been written. It's a 2,000% solution!
I had the pleasure and honor of attending Dave Pelz's short game school a few years ago. I became interested in the school after playing golf with a woman in Palm Springs who had just finished the school, and kept putting the ball within 10 feet of the cup from 40-100 yards out. Naturally, I was impressed and wanted to learn how to do that.
Boy, was I surprised by the school. I thought I was a good putter, and I certainly could putt better than most of the people in the class when we started. In fact, I qualified for the regionals of the World Championship of Putting that year. During the instruction, I was diagnosed with over 60 weaknesses in my putting. I still keep the notes, and review them before almost every round.
So I came to this book thinking, this will be a good refresher. That was right, but the insights I got from this book exceeded all that I learned in Dave Pelz's short game school about putting. Since that course cost over $2,000 for 3 days and half the material was on putting, I figure this book is worth over $1,000. Run, don't walk to buy it!
The book explains the engineering approach that Pelz has brought to putting. He measures everything he can think of. The beginning explains key concepts of green problems - like the raised donut around the hole where no one steps (the rest of the green is downtrodden by thousands of footsteps daily). The next section explains the 15 building blocks of putting - like aim, path, touch, rhythm, ritual, feel, face angle, stability, attitude, and routine. Then Pelz puts special attention on speed and reading the green. Chapter 7 on green reading was worth the price of the book alone. He answered questions I have asked dozens of pros, and received no good answers to. Then, he describes how to use these basics to improve your putting. I have been using a number of these for the last several years, and can certainly attest that they work.
Each point is beautifully explained. He has photographs of great players, graphs of experiments he has conducted, graphs of research he has done with average and great players, and diagrams of what to do and not to do. The language is simple and unambiguous.
For the average golfer, this book can take 4-6 strokes off your game. It will mean winning a lot of weekend bets.
One of the book's great strengths is that it starts with the thinking that most people have about putting that gets them in trouble. He helps you identify your stalled thinking that holds back your putting, and then shows you how to break out of the stall and develop an improved habit.
If you have a father, grandfather, uncle, brother, or son who is a father and plays golf, this is the perfect gift for Father's Day. I took the liberty of giving a copy to myself as my Father's Day gift this year. Maybe it will help me win the Father's Day golf tournament!
Keep in mind that in the average round you'll make more putts than you will tee shots, fairway shots, or finesse shots around the green. Get better at putting, and your score can really improve! A two foot putt and a 300 yard drive count for the same on the score - one stroke. Hit 'em all in the cup!

It is a totally comprehensive book detailing the observations Dave Pelz has made from his schools and from his engineering studies of how a golfer can putt successfully by learning the feedbacks necessary to understand the mechanisms of putting. His "tools" can be made easily. There is a wealth of information, well presented, and informative pictures! |

This book describes everything you need to know about putting, unfortunately a lot of the methods that you need to groove require purchasing various sorts of putting aids (training aids). I purchased the putter track and elks key and had to return elks key due to the poor quality of the product and the putting track is not worth the $100 that it sells for. Although Pelz emphasizes that you do not NEED to order his products, a lot of the practice involves products that only he offers. Plus he doesn't offer all the products he mentions in his book (i.e. face angle plates). Buy this if you want to know why your putts miss (i.e. due to face angle, grain, wind, gravity, footprints, "loopy donut effect"), but without purchasing various putting aids (and from Pelz, it can get very expensive) it would be hard to groove your putting stroke. The short game bible was much better in that you could practice the techniques at any decent golf course! |
