We recently came across “Secrets of the Short Game,” Phil Mickelson’s first and only instructional golf video.  This two-DVD set contains practical tips on putting and chipping in addition to a section on flop shots. 

One of the highlights of “Secrets of the Short Game” is Mickelson’s amazing backward shot, which can be seen in this YouTube video clip.  You can find out more about this DVD on Phil Mickelson’s website.

Phil Mickelson, winner of 4 major championships and 39 events on the PGA tour, spent time in the Arizona State University golf program.  His brother Tim Mickelson now heads up the program.

Mickelson will be leaving a coaching position at the University of San Diego, where he led the golf program to its first three NCAA tournaments while collecting four West Coast Conference championships. Mickelson has also been named WCC Coach of the Year four times.

Both Tim Mickelson and his brother Phil spent time in the ASU golf program. Tim Mickelson was part of the time that won a National Championship in 1996.
