I bet it was those favourite distance wedges of Tom Kite that made the career for David Peltz as well. They worked close together for quite some time.

I have Peltz book somewhere. His 3x3 system was a pretty good idea, but I guess the best part was the discovery that the 3/4 wedge was the shot with the most reliable distances. Didn't like the strokes that he teached though.

Hmm... That's something I ought to do myself. I am pretty good distance wise at the "easy" full range wedge now I haven't thought on the Pelz system for quite some time. Maybe there's more in the candy bag?

For what it's worth, I recommend doing a systematic, subjective analysis of lost & won strokes for every round. Drive, approach, bunker, putts, chips and other. If you miss the green and find a bunker it's 0.5 strokes lost or whatever. If you knock it close from the same bunker and have a 4 footer for par it's 0.5 shots won back. And so on. FIRs, GIRs and putts are fine, but IMO a proper subjective evaluation will tell you much more about where you have most to gain.
