 Only Two Meaningful Mistakes November 29, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am the author of Striking It Rich: Golf in the Kingdom with Generals, Patients and Pros
If this book was the 5-star standard, there wouldn't be too many other 5-star books. In other words, its in a class by itself. Production quality, instruction, information, etc is as good as it gets. A tremendous value for your golfing expenditures. Pelz has contributed significantly to our game with the publication of this book.
With that said, allow me to point out a few things that couldn't be right...
1. Pros having a pei of 18% on their wedges and 8% on their full shots. That implies that they get a 200 yard shot closer than a 100 yard one.
2. Also getting your short game handicap by the method near the end of the book is inconsistant (ie self contradictory). (and contradictory to a pei of 18% for these wedge shots as well)
I also don't agree with the method of guaging distances in the book but that is not necessarily an error- just my opinion.
But all things considered, the best book of its kind by far.

Don't ask questions. Just get it, believe it, learn it, and use it. You will benefit.
Amazing Simplicity September 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a new golfer and just finished reading this book. I have been practicing 4-5 times a week at the range. I began using his techniques for Wedge play, and have seen marked improvement in my game since. I actually now have the four wedges he recommends. It is amazing how accurate I am becoming at picking the right wedge and correct swing for the distance. I am not perfect, but it is more fun to practice with my wedges than any other club. I get excited to see the improvement weekly. The wedges rule for me!! I still struggle with putting, so I bought his book on putting, and that is also excellent reading!!
Best short game advice September 11, 2007
This book is written by a scientist golfer. I am one third of the way through it and it has already helped my game. In fact a lot of the instructions in the book are applicable to the whole game.
It is a little repetitive, but that doesn't hurt at all.
I am going to buy Peltz's other book as soon as I finish this.
Excellent book on golf.
Finesse with Finesse April 10, 2007

Put the "finesse" in your finesse swing and learn how to use it to improve your distance. The diagrams and practice drills will show you how to perfect your golf swing.
