Each phase has its own chapter, enhanced by illustrations, photographs, and focused drills that illuminate the swing and its feel.

What you'll learn spans a wide range of short game skills, from precise putting to greenside control, chip and pitch finesse, and specialty shots that help you shape the ball and limit mistakes.
