Todd Sones has taught winners on every major tour, and has been recognized as both a Golf Magazine Top 100 and Golf Digest 50 Best Teacher. In The Scoring Zone, he reveals the same secrets and strategies that make up the curriculum of his sought-after scoring schools outside Chicago. You'll learn the three shots you need to get at any pin from any lie—the low trap, high toss and explosion—and both the "how" and "when" to play each. With better technique and more confidence, you'll be able to transform your scorecard.

“The shots you’ll learn in this book will get you asking better questions around the green, and feeling more confident that you have the best answers.
