Book Reviews of The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down
Book Review: Short Game Book: Stan Utley
Summary: 4 Stars
The techniques described really work after a little practice. My only difficulty was relating the pictures to the text. The text does not reference the pictures so you have to read the text, look at the pictures, read again and then determine what the pictures apply to. However, the methods really work and have already helped me drop a few strokes per round in 3 weeks.Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading this book, I am confident that my short game will improve. However, time will tell with practice and repetition, I should see a significant improvement.Book Review: Utley's approach really works
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a different approach to the short game which seems to really work. I've tried it for just two weeks and the improvement is already evident.Book Review: Great treatise on the chipping, pitching and sand shots
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Stan Utley's "The Art of Putting," I spent four months retooling my putting approach to great effect. I was really anxious to read his ideas about short game shot-making in this book.
After four weeks of absorbing and practicing his ideas in this great little book, I'm a bigger Utley fan than ever. He explains his short game ideas very clearly and concisely here. As in his first book, he gives some entertaining professional examples of tour players he works with.
Stan Utley emphasizes a natural, mini-swing approach to the short game, and he clearly shows how to make a simple, pivot-based swing for chipping and pitching. His sand shot technique is very interesting as well and will help to make more consistent and feel-based shots in bunkers.
Book Review: Excellent instruction book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have struggled with my short game for years. This book is easy to follow and provides a reliable,simple method for chips, pitches and bunker shots. At first it seems different, but once you give it a try it feels right, and it also flows from the long game. Buy this book.
