Dave
Pelz's Putting Bible |
|
|
|
 Dave Pelz looks at
putting, golf’s least-understood skill, as no one has
ever approached it. Because a putt is the terminal shot
on every hole and there is no possibility of recovery
from short misses, putts count almost a disproportionate
amount. Using decades of scientific research from
studying thousands of golfers, Dave shows the simplicity
of putting that escapes most golfers and lays out
fifteen well-defined building blocks of the putting game
that each of us already has and owns. |
