The Long-awaited new title from the authors of the double Amazon bestsellers, The Lost Art of Putting and The Lost Art of Playing Golf, completes the trilogy

  • About the authors
  • Details

The Lost Art of the Short Game by Gary Nicol and Karl Morris explores the way golfers interact with chipping, pitching and bunker play.

It will help readers to embrace the challenge and relish the opportunity to show their skills and touch around the greens.

This book has the power to make golfers feel differently about the game as a whole by freeing them from the shackles they have self-imposed on their short games.

The Lost Art of the Short Game follows on from the Amazon best-sellers The Lost Art of Putting and The Lost Art of Playing Golf and becomes the third title in the ‘Lost Art’ series. The trio of books is also available as The Lost Art of Golf Collection box set, with a limited edition case.

It is the belief of leading tour coach Gary Nicol and performance coach Karl Morris, who have 60 years’ combined coaching experience, that we have somehow lost connection with the artistry of playing shots around the greens.

It will appeal to all those golfers who struggle to remember the last time they were truly enthusiastic about their short game – and can barely remember a time when they approached pitching, chipping and playing bunker shots with relish.
