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

From: $16.50

"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.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 02, 2008 Type: User Review Excellent Book

I ordered this book as I had enjoyed his first book on putting. My putting has improved and so has my short game. I suffered from inconsitencies due to as Stan puts it "my lower body was encased in concrete". His methods buck conventionaly...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 30, 2007 Type: User Review Utley is an utterly inspired teacher!

Stan Utley has managed to share the brilliance of his short game talents with the rest of us who don't have 20 years to fine tune short game skills, and break down his methodology to clearly and simply relate a very reproducible swing which...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 25, 2007 Type: User Review The Art of the Short Game

Stan Utley describes his unique ideas for short game pitching and chipping. His approach uses a mini-swing and the bounce of your sand or lob wedges to get it close to the hole. I've been trying it for about a month; the techniques work, but do...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 31, 2007 Type: User Review superb teacher

I'd already completely changed my style of putting after reading Stan's "The Art of Putting." Stan offered a simple but fundementally different approach to the Peltz straight back / through method. I've finally found a natural, athletic grip,...
