similar to above point, raising the toe on chips helps prevent your wrist from moving too much.being more quiet with wrists and letting arms/shoulders do the work is the ticket. In the short game, using hands/fingers to manipulate the club is bad because you're more likely to breakdown under pressure. the dead hands concept is important, and I didn't pick up on that until reading the book. since i had to buy new clubs, I used his advice on gaps, variety of bounces, etc. In reading the book, these points jumped out at me: So as the weather warms up I will be practicing these outdoors. Last summer I experimented with the Stan Utley "Art of the Short Game" methods and have concluded I like the Pelz methods better for chipping/wedge/sand play. I already used the distance wedge stuff but need to brush up on it, and add in the chipping/ptiching and bunker shots. I actually bought the Short Game Bible Hardcopy book and have read about 70% of it.
Last year I successfully used some of the Pelz method's like the clock 3/4 system just by reading online and forums like this. Well done Kelly to get the only accolades from our coach today. I told Ty that yes Kelly is actually a champion, she is an awesome golfer and many of us here already know that. I could not have asked for nicer folks to attend the school with, I enjoyed being with Kelly, Bill & Scott for this great experience.Įdit - I also wanted to mention that Ty actually called Kelly out after the putting instruction and said that she is a Champion. I think I will see improvement in my make percentage with this method. This aggressiveness is in Tempo not is hit in my stroke. My biggest take away today is that I am much too slow with my putting stroke, I MUST get more aggressive and sooner rather than later. Just took a little pain med and should be good to go after a good nights sleep. It was a blast but man did all of that bending over putting for a couple of hours this afternoon make my back scream at me. I learned so much today and look forward to doing all of the drills and getting better at my chipping and putting. I too echo what Kelly and Bill said, a HUGE Thank You to Scott for including me in this great experience.
