I just picked this up the other day and decided to give it a read. I know alot about Pelz's theories from his appearences on the Golf Channel and his articles in Golf Magazine, but I finally decided to give one of his books a try as the local Barnes and Noble did not have any other golf books I was interested in. To be honest, I was never expecting to enjoy the read as I have always found Pelz to be a bit arrogant on his TV appearences and the price he charges for his schools is astromically high which seemed to confirmed his arrogance.
It came as quite a shock when I started to read the book that I was enjoying it. Even more so, I found myself agreeing with a lot of his theories (putting excluded, I am a beleiver in the die at the hole school rather than the 17 inches by the hole school) and teachings. I am only about a third of the way through the book and have not had the opportunity to go out and try some of the drills and swing changes, but they seem like they would work as advertised.
Has anyone gone through this process or one of Pelz's schools? Does this stuff actually work for the amateur or do you have to be golfing at a professional level in order to take full advantage of the techniques?
Really intersting stuff. There is even some cross-over to Wishon's book in regards to Tom Kite and equipment specs. Nothing earth shattering, but I found it interesting how both Pelz and Wishon run with a similar train of thought on equipment specs.
