Both are a mile ahead of the old Pelz short game bible which is old fashioned in what it teaches and which I found made my game worse when I originally read it. Also the old Stan Utley books didn’t help me either. I literally had two 10 minute slots on it with the pro and then my son spotting my fault in execution on the course and now I chip better than a lot of good category 1 golfers. Once you get the hang of it, the chipping game becomes great fun and what these guys teach is much more the way to go.

He taught me the short game which was the key ingredient to gaining my European Tour card”. Inci Mehmet, Tour Pro and Sky Sports Analyst.

My guess is he's extreme about not using the LW because it is hard for a lot of ams to use and his overall message is that there is a whole universe of shots that should be considered for every situation so we should stop grabbing 60* by default. Knowing I can get up and down for par or at worse save a bogie takes the pressure of approach shots which then takes the pressure of the tee. I’ve never enjoyed the short game so much.

Regarding the "finesse" game (40 yards and in) I really like his concept of breaking down these shots into chip and run, soft landing and flop shots. In 2022 I suffered from "Lob Wedge Addiction" using my 58* wedge 43% of the time (average proximity and up/down 20' and 24%, respectively) whereas it turned out that I was much more effective with a chipper, putter or hybrid in terms of proximity and up/down %. Accordingly, my finesse game for 2023 will be primarily reliant on the chip and run (with various irons as I no longer carry the chipper) and secondarily the soft-landing shot. At this point, I do not plan to spend much time on the flop shot and when I do, it will be using my SW before my LW. As @sjn1 notes, Grieve clearly thinks that the LW is over-used by Ams and states in the book that it should come with the warning "for emergency use only" Releases: The Short Game System will give you the three key shots you need around a green. A low-running chip shot, a soft-landing spin shot, and the lob shot. You will learn the set-up and swing fundamentals to execute these shots. In addition to the greenside shots you will learn the art of bunker play and pitching, along with many other specialist shots to add to your repertoire.

Also, perhaps it depends on the courses you play somewhat but I find that more often than not, I appreciate having that extra loft.

A: The techniques outlined in the book are practical and immediately actionable. However, it is recommended that you also seek guidance from a golf professional to ensure you are practicing the techniques correctly and effectively. I will say, the longer I watch his stuff on social there are a LOT of specialty shots / variations that are not covered in the book (rightly so). I'm not good enough to worry about that, but a bit eye opening. Amateurs tend to have very little understanding of the short game when playing golf, specifically how it differs from the long game or how they can make better decisions. They have no plan. This book will give you a clear, simple system you can apply immediately and play better golf. It progresses onto topics such as playing from awkward lies, understanding your equipment’s capabilities, and how to practice with intention - thereby increasing golfers’ rate of improvement.
