4 out of 5 stars Excellent Review of Short Game    December 2, 2007
Kathleen Fehling (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL)
This video provides a fun way to finetune your short game. 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. 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). I am going to try and create this challenge match with a buddy somewhere as this would make the practice a lot more fun. This video is well worth the norminal investment. I purchased a dozen for the people who were not able to play with Jim that day..small consolation prize.

Just medicore. Spend your money on David Leadbetters short game video or DVD. It is much more comprehensive and informative.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD for any skill level golfer    June 5, 2007

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. It's well done and there are 3 other "lessons" on the disc that are good to see as well. The match between Furyk and Funk is actually pretty short. I definitely would've wanted to see them go a full "18".

If anyone wants to improve their short game dramatically, get this dvd. 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. They'll show you how to do it.

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. Was it worth it? 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.


5 out of 5 stars Great Instruction and Very Entertaining    October 16, 2006

I was really suprised by this DVD. Most of the instructional golf DVDs I've watched end up being quite boring after a while. Short Game Golf was extremely entertaining and very educational. Great out-takes. 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. 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. This DVD has inspired me to spend less time with my driver and more with my wedges.
