Celebrated as one of the deadliest short game players in the world, Ernie Els, British Open champion in 2002, US Champion in 1994 and 1997, reveals his secrets for successful chipping, pitching, putting and playing out of sand.
With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for players of all levels of ability and over 300 full-colour photographs, 'The Complete Short Game' offers an impressive array of solutions to help bring down your handicap including:
· Mastering left – and back-handed pitches
· Using height, spin and roll to diversify chipping
· Understanding how weather affects the ball's trajectory
· Hitting different types of bunker shot
· Reading greens, mastering slopes and judging speed of putts
In this book, perhaps the most comprehensive manual ever dedicated solely to the short game, Ernie describes in his own words and demonstrates in his own wonderfully skilful way how and why sharpening the shots played around the green is the quickest, easiest and most direct route to lower scores.
All the shots you need to know from 100 yards and in are covered, including: pitching, chipping, bunker play, putting, recovery play and trouble shots, with every conceivable stroke explained and demonstrated in perfect detail.
Significant improvement comes about only through a combination of knowledge and practice, though. That's why the book is also packed throughout with innovative and effective drills to help accelerate the learning process and ensure that any improvements are truly long term.
With over 300 stunning high-speed photographs and a wealth of crystal-clear, constructive advice straight from the mind of one of the world's best golfers, 'The Complete Short Game' represents an essential manual to help golfers improve their performance around the greens.
