I have had the pleasure of playing with Jim Furyk recently and he reconfirmed with me on the course that my handicap could be cut in half or better if I practiced the skills learned on this video (typical of most amateurs). This video is well worth the norminal investment. This video provides a fun way to finetune your short game. I am going to try and create this challenge match with a buddy somewhere as this would make the practice a lot more fun. I purchased a dozen for the people who were not able to play with Jim that day.small consolation prize. Funk and Furyk are good friends and have fun in the video. They review the mechanics of each swing as well as how they think through the various shots presented around the green.
It is much more comprehensive and informative. Just medicore. Spend your money on David Leadbetters short game video or DVD.
The match between Furyk and Funk is actually pretty short. It's well done and there are 3 other "lessons" on the disc that are good to see as well. I definitely would've wanted to see them go a full "18". As the other reviews mentioned, this is a quality DVD. I've seen other teaching dvds in the past and the production on this one is of very high quality.
They'll show you how to do it. Was it worth it. If anyone wants to improve their short game dramatically, get this dvd. My score was in the the high 100's before the dvd, and now I average low 90's and high 80's as my average score. Absolutely, My golf buddies thought I practice like a mad man to lower my score, when in fact, all I did was play it like the pros do. You have two premier players in the world teaching you how to execute various short game shots, as they would play it, in a heads up format against each other. Chipping, pitch shots, bunker play, even that awkward 30-50 yard wedge shot is in there.
The production quality is top-notch and they used some fantastic graphics to illustrate strategy on each hole.Fred Funk's bonus lessons are great for the range. An overall must-have.It was fun to watch Jim and Fred compete against each other while listening to their strategies. I found it interesting that they often chose different shots for the same hole. I was really suprised by this DVD. This DVD has inspired me to spend less time with my driver and more with my wedges. Short Game Golf was extremely entertaining and very educational. Most of the instructional golf DVDs I've watched end up being quite boring after a while. Great out-takes.
