Amazon.com Review
There's an old golf saying that you drive for show and putt for dough. Despite recent woes with the mallet, Tom Watson has been a master on and around the carpet throughout his esteemed career. In easy, conversational style, he fills this essential instructional volume with the basic techniques for pitching, putting, chipping, and sand play, all marvelously illustrated by Anthony Ravielli, then tackles the more challenging variations like high lobs, handling hardpan, and difficult lies. Watson also offers plenty of good advice for thinking about the short game and includes a series of practical drills to help golfers work at improving it.
Product Description

 Just do it. November 24, 2007

I am not sure if I liked this book or not. Tom Watson writes like so many others about the importance of the short game. He is right and I tried hard to like this book because it is short and simple. I dod not like the illustrations. They were boring like so many of golf books from that period (and it wasn't more than 15 years ago). I would not buy it again.
Get Pia Nilhson's book instead.

Everyone should read this book if you want to improve your short game. Tom Watson nicely shares his short game tips in this book. I like this book and recommend it for people who wants to reduce his/her number of strokes.
Timeless March 4, 2006
Tom Watson was the master of consistency and an absolute magician 100 yards in. Actually he would do well to re-read this tome, especially the putting section. It serves up the solution to his woes on the green. Hint - maintaining the wrist angle. However, even if he ignores his own advise, the rest of us can benefit from this terrific book.
ed ulon's review October 12, 2005
I've read this book many times over, it is excellent. Tom's instruction is practical, easy to understand and with practice, will bring you to another level in chipping and pitching.

Who can forget Watson's famous chip shot in the US Open at the 17th at Pebble Beach that is featured on the cover of this book? I remember watching that shot live on television. When he hit his ball into the twelve-inch-long rough the announcers promptly pronounced his chances of winning the US Open over and done. Gone! Instead the master of the short game told his caddy, Bruce Edwards, that he was going to put in in the hole, then holed the chip and went on to defeat Nicklaus for the title.Whether it's putting, pitching, chipping or sand play Watson's much-copied masterpiece is the last word on the short game. Nevermind that this one was published a few years ago, the concepts here are as fresh and as pertinent as ever from the golfer who epitomized short game excellence. THE HORSEMAN
