The 3 off the Tee Podcast

Today we are joined on the podcast by renowned short game guru Dave Pelz. What a pleasure to have Dave on the pod where he shares his wisdom, life experiences and cracking stories from his time in the world of golf. He admits to his 22 & 0 losing streak to Jack Nicklaus in college, how he focused on working on weaknesses and the scientific approach that he brought to his analysis. Short game is his passion and Dave explains the belief that all golfers can improve hugely from 80 yards and in and also on the putting......what he calls the scoring game! A story about the Odyssey 2 ball invention and the deal that was brokered with Callaway on the launch of that iconic putter. Memories of Augusta, working with Phil and culminating with his first major win at the Masters in 2004. We discuss the yips and how you can drive yourself to those demons within the game. His love of Ireland and how proud he his of the short game scoring school facility at Killeen Castle. Dave's passion for the game is hugely infectious and we hope you can get some tips & thoughts for when golf returns.
