The Dave Pelz Putting and Short Game Bibles

[mizzoulefty11]

I was looking at some of my golf books at home and came across the Pelz Bibles I had purchased many years ago. These books were published over 10 years ago and I was curious if the golfing community still felt the Pelz books had stood the test of time. Has the Pelz philosophy been pushed to the sideline by guys like Dave Stockton or Stan Utley? Thanks.

I wouldn't say so. I think Pelz's methods have as much credibility today as they did then, and as much as Stockton or Pelz. Pelz is not the hot commodity of the moment like Stockton, but that doesn't mean his methods are good. I personally disagree with many of his thoughts on putting, but I do enjoy his short game book immensely, particularly all the drills and the "short game handicap" test.

I just wrote a post on another thread, 3 or 4 wedges, that is classic Pelz. Using different wedges and the clock method to control distances. I did not credit him but I do agree with him that the more you miss the green the more wedges you need.
