Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible: Master the Finesse Swing and Lower Your Score (Dave Pelz Scoring Game)

入荷まで少し時間を要しましたが、本自体（及び内容も）、包装が完璧でした。 大事に使います。 ありがとうございました。

ゴルフスクールのコーチから都度教わることが一つ一つというより1シーン別に丁寧に解説している。特に基本となる振り幅とクラブによる距離感作りはとても参考になった。

が、上梓順で言えばこちらの方が先に出版された様です． 一回通読しただけですが、色々得るものが多い本です． 距離の出し方を振り幅で7:30,9:00,10:30とわけ彼の言うFinesse swing= dead hand, synchronous turnについて解説しています．もちろんalignment, ボールの位置の重要性は最初に詳述してあります． 練習場とコースで色々試してみましたが、chip shotは成功する回数が増えた様ですが、 スコアの改善はまだ見られておりません． 何故スコアが改善しないかも詳しく述べられています． 氏の言うように練習を続けるしかない様です． ショートゲームに問題を抱える人すべてにお勧めです．

これまではドライバーショットとアイアンショットという区別をしていましたし、日本の多くのレッスン書もそのようになっていたと思います。しかしこの本ではフルショット（ドライバーもアイアンも）をするパワーゲームと１００Y以内で距離を調節するショートゲームの2つに分けて考えています。（その他に三つの要素を含め５つのゲームとしています） これは私にとっては練習の考え方を根本的に覆し、「目からウロコ」の思いです。この本にしたがって練習場で練習してみたところ、距離の調整が非常に簡単になりました。また、トラブルショットでは左うちなどの特殊な打ち方も丁寧に説明されてあり参考になります。なによりも著者がNASAに勤務していたという理科系人間なので、数多くの実験ショットによるデータとその物理学的分析が素晴らしく確率のゲームであるゴルフの奥深さを堪能させてくれます。自分のレベルに応じて何をどう取り入れるかも考えさせられます。 来シーズンのスコアが楽しみです。

Dave Pelz gives terrific insights onto scoring in general and the short game in particular, based on what he observed and measured on the PGA Tour. He adopts a strategic view on how to improve scoring. From this factual observation, Mr Pelz then develops his approach, based on 4 wedges and "finesse" swings. The credentials are impressive with several major titles won by his clients. I find that the analysis part alone justifies buying the book. Regarding the method, and the technique in particular, the reading is very interesting even if one does not adopt it. for example, Janzen and Singh (among others) have followed the Pelz system, while Mickelson, another Pelz client, does most shots with his 60° wedge. Overall, this book is a must for anyone who is serious about understanding the short game. It is a very good complement to Mickelson's book.

Un libro essenziale nel bagaglio di ogni giocatore di golf, molto particolareggiato, e di semplice comprensione. Ti apre la mente a questo fantastico gioco

Dave Pelz hits the nail squarely on the head. Just within the first couple of chapters, I have learned so much information to help me so profoundly - I only wish I had had this many years ago. Just three things that I could mention, right up front: I have suffered from "chili-dip itus," for many years, and had no idea why it would happen. All I knew is that it would absolutely ruin my mood, and almost my whole day, whenever it did happen. But I found that simply playing the ball squarely in the middle of your stance, rather than too far forward, solves the problem, instantly. Secondly, I have long wanted to be able to hit a sand wedge on my short approach shots, but was petrified, like most guys are, of using a sand wedge - even in the sand trap. But I find, with his instruction, it's a piece of cake - really - and I have practiced it, and found almost immediately that my fondest desire will be easily doable next spring, and it will transform my game, I'm sure. Thirdly - sand trap shots have bedeviled me virtually every time I have ever been in a sand trap. I'll bet I could count on one hand the really good sand trap shots I have ever made in my life. But he - who actually does know whereof he speaks - makes it simple, by explaining, step-by-step, exactly how to do it, and also explains why you do it that way, and what happens when you do, and why it works. I'm not finished with the book yet - I've barely cracked the cover - but I can tell you it is a wonderful find for a golfer, and makes you realize that there are actually simple solutions to problems that have overwhelmed you for a long time.

More detail than any mere mortal can handle! This is a system which will never let you down. Simply be prepared for much reading… much practice… and much self reflection! Brilliant as long as you are ready to do the work.

Very practical.... why and how explained very well....
