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

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...

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...

Simply one of the best books you'll find on the subject. Along with the "Art of Putting", also by Stan, and you are on your way to real improvement. I had the pleasure of meeting Stan a few years ago and looked forward to his books. They were...

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,...

Just OK
Not very in depth. Pictures do not reveal the secrets of the short game. It is pretty much left to figure out on your own. But then again, that is pretty much what golf is all about.

If you're not getting up and down 50% of the time - read this!
Golf is difficult but does not require world class strength or skill to play well - especially around the green. While I do not agree with 100% of the theory presented in this book - I like a lot of it. For example - Stan advocates using only 1...

The Art of the Short Game - Not Very Artful
With the author's recognized expertise in the short game area of golf, this book had a lot of potential to be very helpful. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. The book was poorly edited with pictures in the wrong chapters, subsequently not...
