With a better technical understanding as well as increased golf IQ, there is no limit to how much any golfer can improve on this area of the game. I have not read the book but this guy’s IG posts seem to be very much similar to the new way of playing the short game.

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. The editorial team at Golf Today strives to provide readers with captivating content that celebrates the rich heritage and exciting developments in the world of golf. There is also an Advanced Short Game School for those who have attended the standard Short Game School where you will get into how to play from tougher lies and master the art of Pitching.

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.

I'm not a short-game wizard by any stretch, but having this clarity is definitely improving my short game, and I see nothing but a positive trend as I continue to practice it.

Players travel from far away to Woburn for tuition with Dan for both One to One coaching and also for his Short Game School which is the most attended Golf School in the U. 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. The upshot is that at least 7 out of 10 short game shots I need to make are out of thick rough onto a small, fast green, often over a raised mound or sometimes bunker.
