Dave Pelz played golf at Indiana University, and his 0-22 record against the chubby towheaded kid from Ohio St. probably convinced him that his future wasn't as a professional golfer. Instead, the physics major applied the scientific method to the short game and even able to make a career out of it. In general, traditionalists view outsiders with skepticism. Particularly eggheaded outsiders whose views are anything but traditional. But now, some four decades later, Pelz's methods are widely accepted, he's often called a guru, and he serves as Phil Mickelson's short-game coach.
No idea if Pelz can hit a reverse flop shot, but this might be more impressive: draining a 200-foot putt. Moving pictures after the jump.
My first thought after seeing this: who the hell builds a green that's 200-feet long? I mean, are golfers so overpowering golf courses that we need the possibility of a 65-yard putt? If the answer is "yes, yes we do," then I guess it makes sense to pick up a copy.
