It's difficult to imagine a more clearly written book than Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible. It has the look and feel of a college textbook, complete with scientific-style decimal section headings, but it has been written by someone with a genuine interest in your comprehension. One almost expects review questions at the end of each chapter to check your retention. But, it is not a book for the faint of heart. Rather than a collection of short game tips and tricks, Pelz offers an integrated system for hitting short shots precise distances. He directs his narrative toward serious golfers who know and love the value of practice. Others need not apply.
Pelz defines the short game as shots hit from 100 yards out to the edge of the green. He does not include putting (covered in a subsequent book). His method involves learning a "finesse swing", which is different from the power swing, and calibrating it to produce repeatable yardages. His goal is to have you hit your shots inside of 10 feet from the pin, because his research indicates that at that distance the chance of holing your next shot increases dramatically. His methods are based on years of the sort of research one would expect from a scientist, which he is. Many of his conclusions are surprising, but they take as much of the guesswork out of the short game as is humanly possible. With doubt removed, all that is left for the reader to do is practice, practice, practice...
This book is one of the most received instructional guides ever available, and predominantly the best teaching on the short game.
Target readers:
All golf players and learners.

From Publisher
He who rules the short game collects the gold. (Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf)
Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who's looking to improve his or her game.
Dave's approach to golf is easy to understand: 80 percent of the strokes golfers lose to par are determined by their play within 100 yards of the green - the crucial scoring game. The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score... and win.
A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game.
Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can - and will - help you to consistently shoot lower scores.

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 learned more about my short game and putting in three days than in all my previous years and lessons combined. I know for sure I could not have won my second U.S. Open without the help of Dave Pelz. He has sure improved my scoring game! I'm looking forward to working with him often in the years to come. I AM a believer. |

In one day's work with Pelz, I learned more about putting than I had known my entire life... None of us out here practiced our short games enough, but those of us who have paid attention to Pelz know it's the way to lower scores. |

Dave Pelz is the most confident person, let alone coach, I've ever been around. His science-based knowledge is the best I've ever seen. I couldn't have won my sixth European Order of Merit without his help. His short-game system is improving my game, and has me the most excited I've ever been about my own ability to score. |
