His research led to the development of the "Teacher Putter" patent. Pelz's own weakness was his short game, so in 1970 he began measuring what happens when the putter head strikes the ball, and how the mechanics of player and club swing through the putter.
Pelz, still disappointed at his own inability to make the grade for the PGA Tour, decided to apply his knowledge of physics to the game. Pelz became a senior scientist with responsibilities for several satellite programs, including Explorer. In 1961, Pelz joined NASA, working at the Goddard Space Flight Center doing research on the upper atmospheres of the earth and other planets in the solar system. He played, and lost to, Jack Nicklaus on 22 occasions. Pelz attended Indiana University on a four-year golf scholarship where he majored in physics.
