Summary: Solid Short Game Book
Review: The best two things about this book are the illustrations and Watson's discussion on practice. The putting section is the weakest piece. Don't buy this book to help your putting. Buy Stockton's book or Todd Sones new book.

I get the feeling that a lot of this book was recycled from Golf Digest one and two page instructional articles. Nevertheless, the chipping, pitching, and sand play sections are quite good. I found the sand section very helpful.

A solid overview of the short game.

Summary: Fastest Way to Dramatically Cut Your Score
Review: This book is a must read by golfers at any level. Tom Watson teaches you how to visualize success in all aspects of the short game, how to know how to play each shot with the proper club to maximize your outcome, how to reduce risk, how to SCORE! The book is full of drills that really will help you. Over the past decade I've given this book to literally dozens of friends, any one of whom would agree with my high opinion of it. Buy it, read it, practice it, and watch your scores get much, much lower!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book to help with someone's short game.
Review: Tom Watson really puts his heart and soul into this book. He gives the reader many examples and drills to improve your game. I used to have a high handicap, but not anymore. I really dropped about 5-10 strokes off my handicap. Not bad.

Summary: MASTERFUL!
Review: 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.
