A book on golf short game?

Question

Does anyone know of a book on the short game in golf...but not just technique...but strategy...like when to use a wedge to chip or a 7 iron...when to hit a flop shot or bump and run. The few ive seen at the book store is more lessons oriented as opposed to when to use a certain shot...i really appreciate the tips.

Answer 1

I believe there was a book on the short game written by Dave Pelz who was the putting and short game guru a couple of years back. You might look into that. If you have no luck contact Golf Magazine which carried all of Pelz' work.

Answer 2

Stan Utley's books are the best.  He made his living on putting, chipping and pitching.  His books are "The Art of Putting" and "The Art of the Short Game".  

I read them both and have improved greatly.

Answer 3

Golf - Everything You Want to Know

Answer 4

i would say the Dave Pelz Short Game Bible or the Putting Bible...whatever you need to work on

Answer 5

Yes, 'Dave Pelz short game bible' would be a great book to buy. Failing that - Tiger Woods "How I play Golf" is another great one to look at.
