Getting Up and Down How to Save Strokes from Forty Yards and in

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.

5 Stars With Tom you cant go wrong
Great book if your short game is wack. Since it probaly is if you are reading this review ” Buy it”. You can thank me later.

2 Stars Just do it.
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.

5 Stars An excellent book for improving your short game
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.

5 Stars Timeless
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.

5 Stars ed ulon’s review
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.

5 Stars The Natural Golf Swing
This truly is the secret to golf. Where has this book been hiding? This is the book golf professionals don’t want you to read. You’ll never need another lesson after reading and applying Kudson’s simple instructions.

It is so easy. I am hitting the ball farther and straighter effortlessly. I went from a low 90’s player to a low 80’s player immediately. I only purchased the book last month, and I am now applying his theories to the short game and know that I will be dropping more strokes soon.

5 Stars where is the love?
having been intrigued by the one plane vs. two plane swing revelations revealed in the Jim Hardy books. believing the ops make ultimate sense, having delved into hogan’s mystique as a one planer. the secret of hogans swing, Bertrand also a recommended read. leading me to check out George Knudsen and his simplified balanced golf swing, not to be confused with natural golf even though that’s the name of the book. easy as walking and staying in balance just like the golfers on TV. this is the simplest description of how to golf I’ve ever found!the convoluted swings are history the 8 handicap is going down.

5 Stars Absolutely wonderful
I just received this book two days ago from Amazon. I casually opened it and began reading. I could not put it down other than to run downstairst to try the different aspects as George and Lorne describe them.

It is extremely cold here so I drove over 30 miles to the dome to try the concept as I understand it. It seemed so easy. I cannot wait to get on the course.

5 Stars Great book!
Definately the best golf instruction book I’ve read. I saw an old Shell’s Wonderful Work of Golf in which George Knudson broke the course record (67). I decided to buy his book, and I wasn’t disappointed.

4 Stars Good Golf book.
I am glad I learned of this book…it allowed to eliminate the multitude of swing thoughts etc. which were leading to ‘paralysis by analysis’. If this sounds like you, the book may be helpful. The swing proposed by Knudson, is rather simple, as explained by other reviewers; basically, hands remain passive while weight transfer and balance drive everything. The swing itself is now a lot more enjoyable for me. There is some repetition in the book, and reading about Knudson’s time on tour is rather boring. The 150 page book could be compressed in less than half that; regardless, worth going through the whole thing to change your swing.
