About the Authors
Michael Patrick Shiels:
Michael Patrick Shiels displayed his woeful
short game at courses around the world while maintaining his career
as an international golf and travel writer. That is, until writing this
book, during which his handicap improved five strokes.
Golf’s Short Game For Dummies
is his fifth book. The
Los Angeles
Times
called his
Good Bounces & Bad Lies,
written with Emmy Award-
winning golf announcer Ben Wright, “perhaps the best sports book
ever,” and a
Washington Times
review sardonically compared Shiels
and Wright to Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Shiels’ first
book, a biography of famed Detroit radio host J.P. McCarthy, was a
regional bestseller that received praise from Jack Nicklaus, Larry
King, and Frank Sinatra, Jr. Shiels also penned
Works of Art: The Golf
Course Designs of Arthur Hills.
His travel articles have appeared in publications such as
Golf
Magazine, Travel + Leisure Golf,
www.pgatour.com
,
Sports Illustrated,
Northwest World Traveler Magazine, Bermuda Royal Gazette,
and the
Honolulu Star Bulletin,
and he’s written scripts for The Golf Channel
and ESPN. Shiels has traveled the world — from Thailand to the
Middle East to his beloved ancestral Republic of Ireland in search of
rich stories to tell. You can contact Michael at

Michael Kernicki:
A PGA member for over 25 years, Michael
Kernicki has spent most of his career as a Head Golf Professional
and General Manager at some of America’s finest golf clubs. He was
twice named Golf Professional of the Year by the Michigan PGA and
has received other PGA awards. Kernicki has served as a member
of the PGA of America National Board of Directors and on the Rules
of Golf Committee, where he has administered the rules at 13 PGA
Championships.
Noted for his knowledge of the golf swing, he has instructed at
Teaching and Playing workshops around the country and has
authored several articles about the golf swing and the short game.
Today Michael is the Head Golf Professional at one of the nation’s
most prominent country clubs, Indian Creek Country Club in Miami
Beach, Florida. As a daily routine, Michael teaches the short game
and the golf swing in the most simple and logical manner. His pri-
mary objective is for his students to enjoy the game while they
improve and make golf a game for a lifetime.
