Here’s a secret on how to lower your scores.

Short game. Short game. Short game.

There is – and always has been – a positive correlation between the short game and your golf score.

The Dave Pelz Scoring Game School, currently running at the distinguished Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, focuses on the short game and how that can help any golfer achieve the desired results on the golf course – better scores and the sheer enjoyment that goes with breaking scoring barriers.

The Dave Pelz Scoring Game School is for golfers of all levels. The lessons come in all sizes and shapes – private, group and exclusive customized instruction. Every offering can be customized to your specific needs. It’s the perfect opportunity for corporate groups and informal “buddy” trips to brush up on the scoring game.

Custom sessions are booming in popularity. The success rate is telling and, on the corporate side, the components of a corporate retreat and bonding opportunity make the sessions especially appealing for businesses.

“We love groups because you get every kind of golfer and they all go about learning differently,” said Pelz, the short game guru and author who is the go-to guy for many of the game’s best players.

“In a group dynamic, we can actually let our hair down, tell more stories and make the game and improvement relatable to the whole group. We customize corporate sessions based on how large and how ‘serious’ the attendees are about the game. It’s all custom. In our schools, our three-day program maintains a 4 to 1 student to teacher ratio so we can work hard and stay focused on seriously improving peoples’ games, so a school of 8 or even 12 is great. In the one-day program, that ratio is 6 to 1 so we can see more people.”

Private sessions are available for small, medium or large groups, from four to 20 players. The lessons can be integrated into meetings, become incentives for corporate guests, a part of gaming trips, bachelor parties or wedding groups on destination weddings, groups from individual clubs form Michigan, Illinois and Ohio.

“If we can get you putting better, and hitting your chips, pitches, wedge and sand shots closer to the hole, you’re going to start to really love this game. There’s nothing more fun than playing your best,” Pelz said.

The summertime Pelz Scoring Game School is based at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa’s year-round Golf Academy, with PGA Professional Mark Hill as the Academy’s Director of Instruction
