Book Reviews of The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down
Book Review: This book will destroy your chipping...
Summary: 1 Stars
Poorly written and poorly diagrammed. Very onerous to read in the first place. Advice on pitching and chipping proved disastrous for me. My score ballooned and after many frustrating rounds had a PGA professional set me straight. Utley wants you to chip with a sand wedge every time, that's Ok if you have the precision and accuracy of a Pro but as an amateur its very hard to use a sand wedge for long distance chips you are better of using a 8 or 9 iron and doing more of a chip and run. I was blading my chips constantly. Total waste of money . Please don't waste your time!!

Summary of The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down
"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.
