Product Description:
'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 maddeningeven for the pros. One of golfs 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 dont 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 Utleys 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, Utleys short-game methods turn trouble shots into triumph.

This book was delivered promptly and as advertised. I have read the book and am currently applying some of the concepts within my golf game. The instructions are clear and the illustrations are very helpful. I recommend it to any golfer wanting to improve thier game.

Within a couple of weeks, with meaningful practice, the methods taught in the book significantly improved my chipping and pitching. Bunker game has improved too although implementation is harder.
Strongly recommended.

This is the best chipping, pitching, and sand play manual that I have ever read, and I've bought a number of books over the years. I'm a 10 handicapper that's played for 35 years and my short game was never great and recently gotten horrible. This book gives you great visualization techniques that are very simple and easy to conceptualize. I didn't even have a chance to practice, but only memorized the hand position tips, shoulder position, pivot, and weighting, and went out to play a few days later. I had 10 excellent chips and pitches (each to within 5 feet and several were tap-ins) along with a sandie. I would normally have 9 crappy chips including two skulls and 4 chunkers. That improvement is not coincidence, but a demonstration that what he tells you can translate to immediate results. Utley says that you'll suddenly say 'eureka' when you make solid contact is exactly what happens. This is definitely a great teaching book - short and sweet with pictures - that even guys who think they know it all (or thought they did, like me) need to get. It's very easy to see why this guy teaches the pros. A must-buy.

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.
