Dave & Eddie Pelz
Pelz Golf
The globally recognized authority on short-game performance, Dave Pelz has spent decades studying the science of golf, with a particular focus on putting, chipping, and wedge play. His research-driven approach has led to groundbreaking advancements in synthetic putting green design and development.
Through his partnership with Himalayas Golf, Dave has helped integrate his patented Pelz Player underlayment system into synthetic greens, revolutionizing the way artificial golf surfaces perform. This innovative system replicates the bounce, check, and roll of real grass, providing golfers with a true-to-life short-game experience—whether for a professional golf training center, private backyard practice area, or entertainment-driven golf venue.
By combining Dave’s expertise with Himalayas Golf’s cutting-edge course construction, this collaboration ensures that players train on surfaces engineered for consistency, precision, and real-world shot feedback, bridging the gap between synthetic and natural greens like never before.

Rest in peace, Dave. Your legacy lives on in every green we build, in every putt we make, and in every player that strives for greatness.
“60% to 65% of all golf shots occur inside 100 yards of the hole. More important, about 80% of the shots golfers lose to par occur inside 100 yards. These results led me to focus on what happens inside 100 yards, what I call the "scoring game."
