Summary: Worth the money, but...
Comment: This book is definitely a mixed bag. On one hand, it thoroughly covers nearly every short game shot that exists (water shots, anyone?), which is a good thing. However, Dave Pelz, though obviously blessed with the gift of intelligence, is extremely long-winded. For each page of actual instruction, there seems to be two pages of diagrams and explanations as to how/why the ball reacts the way it does to his techniques. Honestly, I'd rather read a compacted version of this book and be able to quickly refer to a specific type of shot whenever I'd need to than study a documentary on physics with some golf thrown in. Too often I found myself glancing over words and turning pages rather than absorbing the material. Don't get me wrong, this book is certainly worth the money and it will save you strokes, but don't expect to read it for more than an hour at a time without getting bored.

Summary: Definite help where it matters
Comment: Received the book for Christmas and started reading and practicing that weekend. As a lover of analysis and statistics, I enjoyed the author's analytical style. I was familiar with his excellent writing on the short game and now I see that his insights came from long years of collecting data from pros and amateurs alike.
After practicing the author's wedge techniques (changing to a more fixed, repeatable swing) and locking in my yardages for the 3x4 system, I got immediate results. Took only 29 putts the first round after reading, as I was consistently closer to the hole with my wedges. My second round after reading the book was this weekend where I took only 13 putts in 9 holes, while shooting 38 (I am a 12 handicap at the moment.) This is the first golf book I've read that actually changed the way I approach the game.

Summary: Great for analytical minds
Comment: This book is excellent for the more scientific-minded golfer. Dave Pelz is a true scientist and breaks down golf from an entirely different angle. His practice sessions are a little unreasonable for most people, though. Not too many people would have the time or resources to figure our exactly how far each short game shot travels, but the book is worth the price simply for the reviews of the fundamentals of the short game swing. Just by reading the book and changing the way I practiced, I have taken about 5 strokes off of my handicap!
