Sinking more putts, eliminating three-putts greens, and learning to
chip for "gimmes," will do more for a golfer than adding even as much as 30 or 40 yards to their drives. Yet there are far more golfers buying "Great Big whatevers," and spending the majority of their practice time
trying to reach the end of the range than ever seen out practicing the short game. Any pro will tell you, "practice the short game, it accounts for more than half of your score." We wholeheartedly agree since
any missed drive can be made up with a well struck putt.
From 60 Yards In, Ray Floyd
Raymond Floyd is a wizard around the greens. His opponents would rather he was
on the green putting than chipping from off the green. He makes more chip shots than most pros can sink putts from a similar distance. When he won the Open at
Shinnecock Hills, he played short wedge pitches like a magician. Today, his contemporaries on the Senior Tour clearly acknowledge his expertise with the little shots.
We know of no better way to shave strokes from your game than working on chipping, and short pitches. Why not look at what a master has to say?

Putt Like the Pros, Dave Pelz with Nick Mastroni
Dave Pelz is the number one recognized putting guru in the world. He knows more about what happens to a ball when it is struck with a putter than anyone alive. An
exceptional college player and a NASA engineer for many years, Dave has conducted experiments, too numerous to mention with the technical elegance of
those done for a moon shot. He really knows putting, and a full schedule at his short game schools around the country means that others know that he knows. In Putt
Like the Pros, Dave goes through his experiments, and shows what he has learned. Some of the answers may surprise you, but the extent of the work easily justifies the
conclusions. After reading the book, I took 1 to 2 strokes off of my score just by knowing which side of the ball was heaviest, (no kidding).
We strongly suggest you try this book, it can only help.
