Though DP left the state, he retained his membership at a club outside DC, where I was a member. He'd show up occasionally and was universally loved and respected by club members and staff. I often use some of his putting tips and think of his contributions to the short game. Well done, David.
David_Tepper:
While Paul Runyan and Phil Podgers preceeded him, Dave Pelz was pretty much the first teacher to treat the short game (putting, chipping & pitching) as a separate part of the game and to specialize in teaching just that aspect of the game. Now many touring pros have both full swing and short game coaches.
Chris Hughes:
Pelz unequivocally proved that over time, leaving the pin in all-the-time, IS the proper course of action.
Last week heard an announcer repeatedly question a Senior Tour player's decision to putt all putts with pin in...
...reminds me of when Charlie Rymer said Bernhard's "career is over if he can't figure out something with the standard putter, that thing won't work in the wind"...!!
