I've not really had a chance to practice my Pelz wedge play over the winter. I've written about it many times before: here and here ).

Today, it was rather windy, so I spent my time hitting balls to the temp green (and flag) in front of my club's 18th green. I hit shots with my three wedges from all over the place - 20 yards out to 100 yards.

Except for a few skanky shots where I got distracted, I was incredibly impressed with my wedge play. I used to be spotty with my short game in the summer, but I instantly began hitting shots within "blanket" distance - three to four balls that, from 100 yards, could be covered with a blanket.

I remain incredibly impressed with this method of wedge play.

I dont know the "Pelz method",but i presume mediaguru is refering to positions on the clockface in reference to swing-length,to control different distances short game wise ....... ?

I know. I just didn't understand why he bothered to post it without explanation. Meaning... I know what the clock times are... so what does listing them - without any text agreeing, disagreeing, or furthering the point - mean?

I guess he was having a "tight schedule" day !

The clockface golf concept is nothing new - is this the main basis of Pelz's theory for shortgame distance control ?

Basically. And it works really, really, really well.

    • My first instinct is don't put grooves in a roll face putter. But, it's your putter so... I think we'd all be in a better position to advise you if you posted some photos.  Let us know what you decide and how it comes out. 
    • Wordle 1,014 3/6* 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   Some really nice scores being posted - a bunch of eagles and of course that ace by @4zim! 
    • Wordle 1,014 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 😀 not as good as an Ace but Eagle still feels good.  Nice Ace yesterday @4zim

    • I play in a family event a few times a year with many 20-30HC players recently I was beaten off the stick by my 23HC cousin hubby he got an 83 I had a shocker 87 ...to have beaten him I would have had to have scored a 66 off the stick !!! my lowest at our local course is 73  ...was his best game for the year ...so many lucky shots    IMHO I'd say your mate won't need more than a couple of years to beat you ..
