Dave Pelz Scoring Game School

The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera is proud to offer an exclusive location of the renowned Dave Pelz Scoring Game School. Pelz, short game guru and coach of top players like Phil Mickelson, has designed instruction to help golfers improve their scores.

The Dave Pelz Scoring Game School applies Dave's practical, scientific approach to golf, honed through years of research and one-on-one coaching of many of the game's top professionals. The 3-Day Scoring Game School is offered in just six locations nationwide.  Visit www.pelzgolf.com for more information.

Pelz Institute research has proven that golfers lose almost 80 percent of their shots to par inside of 100 yards from the hole. To that end, the school curriculum focuses strictly on what Dave defines as "The Scoring Game," a combination of the short game (distance wedges, pitching, chipping, sand play) and putting, which comprise 60 to 65 percent of the total number of shots played per round. From three-foot putts to full wedge and long bunker shots, you'll learn to properly execute shots from any scoring position.

Dave's philosophy is that golfers should know:
1.    What they need to learn to improve.
2.    How to learn it.
3.    How to internalize and use what they've learned.

The Dave Pelz Scoring Game School gives students skills and practice techniques to promote a lifetime of lower scores and enjoyment of the game. Call 800-833-7370 or visit www.pelzgolf.com or click to enroll online.
