Bought this book in 2000 just after it came out and immediately read the first 100 pages (it's 400 pages long). Just understanding the concepts of the physics behind his instruction was eye-opening for me (I loved the statistics and explanations). He applies the numbers to real-life results (ie: the pros with the best short game earn the most money consistently year after year). Once I understood the basic concept that distance control was the key and then read about the basic techniques, my index tumbled from a 12.4 to 8.1 in just two months and as low as 4.6 by the end of summer! This in spite of hitting an average of only 5-6 greens in regulation per round.
One nice thing about this book is you don't have to read or understand all the statistics or physics in order for it to make a profound impact on your game. You can use it as a reference for a lot of specialty shots once you get the basic finesse swing down. (I use the technique with most of my irons all the way up to my 5-iron thus extending my distance control game out to about 150 yards).
Definitely a must read if you are serious about improving your golf game.

I am the author of Striking It Rich: Golf in the Kingdom with Generals, Patients and Pros
If this book was the 5-star standard, there wouldn't be too many other 5-star books. In other words, its in a class by itself. Production quality, instruction, information, etc is as good as it gets. A tremendous value for your golfing expenditures. Pelz has contributed significantly to our game with the publication of this book.
With that said, allow me to point out a few things that couldn't be right...
1. Pros having a pei of 18% on their wedges and 8% on their full shots. That implies that they get a 200 yard shot closer than a 100 yard one.
2. Also getting your short game handicap by the method near the end of the book is inconsistant (ie self contradictory). (and contradictory to a pei of 18% for these wedge shots as well)
I also don't agree with the method of guaging distances in the book but that is not necessarily an error- just my opinion.
But all things considered, the best book of its kind by far.

I am a new golfer and just finished reading this book. I have been practicing 4-5 times a week at the range. I began using his techniques for Wedge play, and have seen marked improvement in my game since. I actually now have the four wedges he recommends. It is amazing how accurate I am becoming at picking the right wedge and correct swing for the distance. I am not perfect, but it is more fun to practice with my wedges than any other club. I get excited to see the improvement weekly. The wedges rule for me!! I still struggle with putting, so I bought his book on putting, and that is also excellent reading!!

This book is written by a scientist golfer. I am one third of the way through it and it has already helped my game. In fact a lot of the instructions in the book are applicable to the whole game.
It is a little repetitive, but that doesn't hurt at all.
I am going to buy Peltz's other book as soon as I finish this.
Excellent book on golf.
