The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down
Description
“The hottest instructor in golf” (Sports Illustrated) takes on old-school
gurus with a far more accessible, intuitive, and innovative approach to those
essential chip shots, pitches, and bunker rescues. 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 readers 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 seventy-five 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. Read more
