Resumen del Editor

Veteran golfers know that the secret to a lower score is a solid short game, but mastering those small strokes can be maddening - even for the pros. One of golf's most revered instructors, Stan Utley now reveals the step-by-step tactics behind his revolutionary short-game techniques in The Art of the Short Game.

After introducing listeners to his groundbreaking philosophy that explains why most players don't see all the shots available to them near the green, Utley moves on to shatter conventional wisdom about stance, grip, and ball position. From choosing the right clubs (including a checklist of must-haves that should always be in your bag) to spin reduction during chipping and fearless sand play, The Art of the Short Game demystifies the most aggravating shots on the links. Though Utley's primer features a full set of drills, accompanied by more than 75 photos, his approach is far removed from the monotonous, mechanical instruction of yesteryear.

Giving a time-tested secret weapon to every golfer at every level, Utley's short-game methods turn trouble shots into triumph.

A different approach for more consistency

I cannot wait to try the lessons I read on this book when I go to the driving range next time

Worked immediately for me

Every golfer’s skills and swing issues are a little unique, as is the effect that coaches and tips may have on their game. What works for one golfer may not work as well for another, or at all. Keeping that caveat in mind, I can say that Stan’s approach to pitching and chipping definitely and immediately worked for me. My last three rounds have included two personal best scores at two different courses that I play often, all due to getting much closer to the hole more consistently using Stan’s method. It was easy for me to learn from the book, easy to practice, and easy to pull off on the course. I typically shoot in the mid to high 90s; my scores since reading “The Art of the Short Game” have been 88, 95, and 87, with more short putts and tap-ins than before. This has transformed my short game from pretty good to a genuine strength.

Explanations little rough

This book was decent. It was a little tough understanding his explanations . I picked up a few tips and hope they work on the course
