The Up & Down Game

Lower your scores. Handle pressure. Finally trust your short game.

Most golfers don’t lose shots because of their swing.

They lose them from 100 yards and in.

The Up & Down Game is not another technical instruction book filled with swing positions and endless tips. Instead, it gives you a clear, structured way to practice, perform, and score around the greens, when it actually matters.

Built from over 20 years of coaching experience, this book introduces a smarter approach to the short game. One that focuses on decision-making, pressure, and real on-course performance, not just how it looks on the range.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to control trajectory, strike, and release
• Why the lie dictates everything and how to read it correctly every time
• A simple system to decide whether to chip, pitch, or play safe
• How to use bounce properly and eliminate costly strike errors
• The CLEAR routine to build consistency and confidence under pressure
• Game-based practice methods that actually transfer to the course

You’ll also discover powerful training systems including:

• The Up & Down Rating (UDR) – a structured way to measure and track your short game performance
• The Pressure Ladder – a simple but challenging system to master distance control
• Target 18 and competitive games to simulate real scoring pressure

This is more than a technique book.

It’s a performance system designed to help you turn practice into results.

Whether you’re a club golfer looking to break 90, or a competitive player trying to sharpen your scoring edge, this book will give you the tools to:

Save more shots. Convert more chances. And play your best golf when it matters most.
