Golf: Pelz Short Game and Putting Tests
Dave Pelz is one of the best golf instructors in the world, and he invented a short game and putting game to test, and score, your short game skills to gauge progress and improvement. I was given this during one of his short game clinics in Atlanta and have been using it to quantify my improvements.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it
Here are some of my scores from the Short Game Test:
| Date | 3/4 Wedge | 1/2 Wedge | Long Sand | Short Sand | Long Chip – FW | Short Chip – FW | Pitch – FW | Pitch – Rough | Cut Lob – Rough | Total Points | HCP |
| 10 balls (yards) | 30 – 70 | 20 – 40 | 16 – 35 | 7 – 15 | 15 – 30 | 7 – 14 | 10 – 20 | 10 – 20 | 10 – 20 | ||

Tool: Glowforge Laser Cutter
Glowforge was one of the most successful crowdfunding projects at the time, with raising $27.9m in 30 days!
This was my first crowdfunded purchase, and a pretty substantial one at that at around $2,500 … between this and the Prusa 3D printer, they have probably provided the most interesting and beneficial learning opportunities. While slightly simpler to use compared to a 3D printer, since all functions are only in 2D, there are multiple small nuances around the design, materials, multi-step operations, cutting depths, speeds and laser focus which have had a steep learning curve.
So far we have made a bunch of interesting, practical and useful projects, sold a few on Etsy and also made a few personalized meaningful gifts.
DIY: Golf Yardage Books
I have collected well over 30 yardage books from all over the world. Most of them from bucket list courses like Pinehurst #2, Harbor Town or one of my favorite courses, The Ocean Course at Kiawah. But sometimes courses didnt offer or sell them, so I started down the rabbit hole of designing and printing my own.
Majority of them were for tournaments I played in on the Golfweek Amateur Tour. The design process included using Google Maps to get an aerial photo of the course, and then subsequently outlining each hole using Adobe Illustrator and vector shapes. Then measuring and taking the yardages from the course and annotating the map.
Book size: 3.75″ x 6.5”
