Product Description

"The hottest instructor in golf"(Sports Illustrated) presents a revolutionary guide for lowering your score with a powerful new approach to strategizing, decision-making, and management for every part of your short game.

Stan Utley's breakthrough short game and putting techniques have made him one of the most sought-after golf instructors in America. Now he offers a breakthrough approach for golfers of all skill levels, with a course- management approach designed to help golfers at the crucial stages of a round of golf.

The Art of Scoring shows readers how to understand the way their short game handicap and overall skill level should dictate strategy. Breaking down pitching, chipping, bunker play, and putting into three proficiency categories, Utley presents customized techniques for saving shots simply by making better decisions. He leads us through a round with three amateurs-two 10-handicappers and a 20-handicapper-to show how improved strategy and execution can transform a player's game. With behind- thescenes pro teaching sessions, crash courses on the three hardest greenside shots, and one hundred black-and-white and color photographs, The Art of Scoring is like getting a brand-new set of state-of-the-art clubs, customized by one of the game's premier teachers.

Nice introduction to Stan Utley's concepts
 
Review Date: October 11, 2009
Reviewer: Dee Cee, Ann Arbor, MI USA
I've read both of Stan Utley's other books, "The Art of the Short Game" and "The Art of Putting". This book covers, in less detail, many of the concepts he discusses in those books. If you were to buy only one of the 3, this would be the one. As I mentioned, though, I have all three, and find each beneficial.
it works

Review Date: June 1, 2010
Reviewer: N. Induni,
A few months back I read an article in Golf Digest about the 30 to 50 yard pitch shot by Utley.(you can still read that article on their website) Out of curiosity I tried it and was very pleased with the results. That prompted me to check out youtube videos and other sources which then led me to get this book. I realize everyone is different but for my purposes this book has really transformed my short game; both the from the grass and from the sand. I am amazed at how easily the ball comes out of the trap when I get the swing right. I still miss-hit shots but my bad shots are less bad and my good shots are much better. If I could stop my old habits from sneaking back in, I would miss-hit shots much less often. This book is sort of a combination of Utley's books on the short game and on Putting. I have read both of those. I have not had as much success with his book on putting but I also have not had much time to put his theories into practice.
I like utley's work BUT

big fan of stan's instruction and i like this book and art of the short game. the putting book doesn't seem that unique or helpful. i did get one good tip out of it.

anyway, i think stan should consolidate his books into one version like the new phil mickelson short game book. large glossy color pages would be so much better.
