Dave Pelz's Putting Bible: The Complete Guide to Mastering the Green
This comprehensive guide from the internationally revered golf instructor and bestselling author of Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential volume for all golfers who want to take strokes off their score with better putting. Packed with charts, photos, and easy-to-understand instruction!

Let Dave help you shape up your game on the greens with his new Putting Bible, which is sure to make all other putting manuals obsolete. Every golfer needs Dave's insights into the putting game and the simplicity he brings to improving their ability to putt.

Dave Pelz's Scoring Game Schools and clinics are renowned worldwide, attracting top players like Jesper Parnevik, Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open Champion Lee Janzen, Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann.

Dave Pelz looks at putting, golf's least-understood skill, as no one has ever approached it before. Because a putt is the terminal shot on every hole and there is no possibility of recovery from short misses, putts count almost a disproportionate amount. Every golfer knows a 2-foot putt counts the same as a 300-yard drive—one stroke. And while the putting stroke is only one of several types of swings golfers make, it accounts for nearly half of all the swings made—43 percent—and perhaps as much as 80 percent of all the anguish and frustration involved in the game. 

Putting is also different in another way:  It is one of the few skills in all of sport in which any player, regardless of size, strength, speed, gender, or education, can compete equally with—and have a realistic chance to surpass the skills of—the best professionals in the world.

As Dave explains, putting is actually simple to understand and do. Once golfers grasp his concepts, they can perform on the greens as never before.

Using decades of scientific research from studying thousands of golfers, Dave shows readers the simplicity of putting that escapes most golfers and lays out the fifteen well-defined building blocks of the putting game that each of us already has and owns. 

A former NASA physicist and founder of the World Putting Championship, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his instruction that has made him the top putting expert in the world.  Observing and teaching thousands of golfers to better their scores, Dave's body of knowledge in putting is unequaled.  By uncovering the mysteries of this part of the game, Dave Pelz's Putting Bible raises putting instruction to a new level.

Do I believe in Dave Pelz? I paid full price to go to his school, and it was the best money I've ever spent. I could not have won my second U.S. Open without his help. I am a believer.
