Unlike many Kickstarter programs, though, this isn't a donation, but rather a preorder of Pelz' new "book," which if it gets funded by this summer will be by the end of the year. "I gladly join with the small businesses and starving new artists of the world… to discover new and better ways to do things." "As I continue my passion for exploring and creating better was to help golfers play better, I’m inspired by other Kickstarter projects," Pelz said.
It allows more freedom to create and present original content to golfers in the best possible way. He says it's because Kickstarter is an innovative approach to funding research, developing new ideas and products. At this point, all I can do is ask you to trust me (and the resume of my last 40 years in golf) and help us get this new paradigm into a 'golfer-friendly' package."īut why is Pelz using Kickstarter instead of a publisher? After all, he's been a successful author for years. "This Kickstarter funding is to allow us to create new 3D graphics and video images to show you what to look for and where to look from, in our new GreenReading system. "I can't teach you how to read greens in one paragraph," he said. Pelz says the scope of the project is beyond anything he's done before. What the Pelz GreenReading project is about It's where some of his best students, including Phil Mickelson, come visit to work on their own short games. It's where he can replicate any slope on a green and study the data. It's in that backyard, where Pelz has more than a dozen greens (nine of them target greens) and where he does much of his research.
He won't give too much away here until the Kickstarter is funded and the work is published, but I did get to spend an afternoon with him at his "dream home" in Dripping Springs, Texas, in the Texas Hill Country just outside of Austin. But Pelz says his work, which is based on his background as a physicist, takes away the mystery. There have been strides in recent years, most notably Aimpoint. Even tour players, Pelz says, have difficulty in reading greens but they have the advantage of charts (which some pay dearly for) and their caddies' help. Pelz is talking about green reading, and this project, which he is funding through Kickstarter, promises to unravel the mystery of reading greens. Why?īecause it covers a topic that has been a mystery to most golfers. DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas - Dave Pelz, whose litany of golf books includes the New York Times bestseller, The Short Game Bible, says his latest project is the most important work he's ever done.
