Dave Pelz's Damage Control: How to Avoid Disaster Scores - Hardcover

Dave Pelz's two previous instruction books, his Short Game Bible and Putting Bible, have proved phenomenal sellers for Aurum - over 70,000 copies between them at almost GBP20 a copy. Their uniqueness to golfers is twofold: first, their amazing thoroughness - looking at every single factor affecting a putting shot down to the centre of gravityof the p;articular golf ball (put a spot on one side of it, float it in a bowl of water and see where the spot ends up). And second, his former training as a NASA scientist, which gives him a remarkably scientific, and therefore ungainsayable, authority in his theory and recommendations. Pelz is one of the few instructors whose books golfers read from cover to cover, all 400 pages, implement every single one of his tips - and regularly see their handicaps drop like a stone. Now at last comes his third book. As Pelz explains: most golfers play below their handicap through most of their round - and then mess it up by playing really badly on three or four holes. This book teaches you how to Control that Damage: the Set-up-ology that will enable you to set up trouble shots correctly; the Red-Flag Touch that warns you when you're in danger of making a bad hole worse, and a proper Damage Control Mentality. How could any golfer not want such a book? Dave Pelz is a former NASA space research scientist who now runs the Pelz Golf Institute in Florida and has coached many of the world's top players including Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh. His previous bestselling books - all published by Aurum - are the Short Game Bible, the Putting Bible and Putt Like the Pros.
