Imagine how many strokes you could shave off your score with a better short game? It is so critical to golf improvement that entire golf schools are built around it.
The most well known school is by Dave Pelz. Mr. Pelz is the world famous short game and putting guru, who works with some of the top touring pros. He has made a science out of the short game and can bring it to you in one of his specialized, short game schools.
There are many topics covered in a school like this. For example, wedges, pitching, chipping, putting and bunker play. How many strokes do you think you give up in these areas? Maybe 3,4 or a half dozen? I would say the average 15-20 handicapper would give up 2-3 strokes just on putting alone. Probably another 1-2 from chipping. Maybe 1 eacch on pitching and bunker play.
Add up those strokes and you’ve got an easy 6 strokes that could be eliminated from a short game lesson or ‘full on’ short game golf school instruction. These golf schools are not cheap, but you are also paying for the name with Dave Pelz. Some other short game schools are Bird Golf Academy and the Jim McLean golf school to name a few.
Breaking down the short game into manageable sections like bunker, chipping, pitching and putting, allows you to retain it better and be able to take it home with you. And remember…you will be exposed to tips and secrets you never knew before, giving you the edge over your playing partners when you get on the course to play.
