Many golfers have a difficult improving at this game. There are plenty of great golf books to help you with different aspects of the game. What you will not find is a book that explains why almost 90% of us can't get better. Understanding your eye dominance is about as important as understanding which hand is your dominant hand., Just imagine if your right handed and I made you swing left handed, you probably would not play very well.This book will is an easily understood book on how to understand which eye is your dominant eye, how it affects your game and how to improve using the proper, natural motions. This is understood in other disciplines but for some reason not in golf except for putting. After studying the best players in the world swing the club and how their eye dominance effects their swing mechanics I know share that with you. Do you think is just a fluke that great players like Sorenstam, Allenby, Appleby, Durant, Duvall, Stenson and many more have a different looking swing motion? Their swings look different because they are different and that is because they are right eye dominant. I have never seen a book written for the majority of players who are right handed and right eye dominant. Starting in the early 1990's I started to study this phenomenon called eye dominance and know in about 2 hours you can learn how your eye dominance effects your swing. If you switch to a golf swing that fits your eye domiance you will be amazed how much easier it is to play golf, hit better shots and lower your scores.

“Jealous. That’s what I am. Green with golf envy…Why didn’t we think of that? I mean, what golfer worth his, or her, balls wouldn’t want to trade all the troubles of life for the adventure and privilege of teeing it up everywhere from the glacial volcanoes of the Andes to the Arctic Circle in Norway?”--from the foreword by Turk Pipkin At 47, David Wood sold everything he owned and set out to fulfill every golfer’s dream: For one year, he traveled the world (covering 60,000 miles and every continent except Antartica) by plane, boat, train, motorcycle and rickshaw, to play the game he loves in the most exotic locales, including the world’s highest, driest, hottest, coldest, and most remote golf courses, and lived to tell the tale. Along the way, he met a bevy of fascinating characters, including surly cabbies, taxi drivers with a death wish, welcoming golf course managers, threatening kangaroos, and golf pros out for a quick game. David faced dire situations, such as bouts of food poisoning in India and Egypt, altitude sickness in Argentina, getting booted out of the Ukraine by armed guards, and muddling through with limited language skills, but through it all he maintained a sense of humor and of course his passion for golf, which he played every chance he got.

A beloved New York Times bestselling author and golf aficionado shares his insatiable curiosity, trademark sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the game in this cavalcade of original pieces about why we love the sport, now featuring three additional new pieces. This is the book Rick Reilly has been writing in the back of his head since he fell in love with the game of golf at eleven years old. He unpacks and explores all of the wonderful, maddening, heart-melting, heart-breaking, cool, and captivating things about golf that make the game so utterly addictive. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that's absolutely free. Reilly mines all of the game’s quirky traditions—from the shot of bourbon you take before you tee off at Peyton Manning’s course, to the way the starter at St. Andrews announces to your group (and the hundreds of tourists watching), “You’re on the first tee, gentlemen.” He means that quite literally: St. Andrews has the first tee ever invented. We’ll visit the eighteen most unforgettable holes around the world (Reilly has played them all), including the hole in Indonesia where the biggest hazard is monkeys, the one in the Caribbean that's underwater, and the one in South Africa that requires a shot over a pit of alligators; not to mention Reilly’s attempt to play the most mini-golf holes in one day. Reilly expounds on all the great figures in the game, from Phil Mickelson to Bobby Jones to the simple reason Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods. He explains why we should stop hating Bryson DeChambeau unless we hate genius, the greatest upset in women’s golf history, and why Ernie Els throws away every ball that makes a birdie. Plus all the Greg Norman stories Reilly has never been able to tell before, and the great fun of being Jim Nantz. Connecting it all will be the story of Reilly’s own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf. This is Reilly’s valentine to golf, a cornucopia of stories that no golfer will want to be without. **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**

Harvey Penick's life in golf began when he started caddying at the Austin, (Texas), Country Club at age eight. Eighty-one years later he is still there, still dispensing wisdom to pros and beginners alike. His stature in the golf world is reflected in the remarkable array of champions he's worked with, both men and women, including U.S. Open champion and golf's leading money winner Tom Kite, Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, and LPGA Hall of Famers Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls, and Kathy Whitworth. It is not for nothing that the Teacher of the Year Award given by the Golf Teachers Association is called the Harvey Penick Award. Now, after sixty years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick is finally letting his Little Red Book (named for the red notebook he's always kept) be seen by the golf world. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hypertechnical jargon that's grown up around the golf swing, and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play their best. He avoids negative words; when Tom Kite asked him if he should "choke down" on the club for a particular shot, Harvey told him to "grip down" instead, to keep the word "choke" from entering his mind. He advises golfers to have dinner with people who are good putters; their confidence may rub off, and it's certainly better than listening to bad putters complain. And he shows why, if you've got a bad grip, the last thing you want is a good swing. Throughout, Penick's love of golf and, more importantly, his love of teaching shine through. He gets as much pleasure from watching a beginner get the ball in the air for the first time as he does when one of his students wins the U.S. Open. Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is an instant classic, a book to rank with Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf and Tommy Armour's How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time.

Discover how to break 80 on the golf course You are about to discover how does a golfer break the 80 shot barrier? It is a question many golfers cannot answer. Oh, they may know the answer, but knowing it and doing it or very different things. The typical golf course is a par 72, which means that if a golfer never hits a bad shot, and two-putts on every green it will take him 72 shots to finish the 18 holes. The real answer to the question then is a golfer must putt well to break 80. The old saying "drive for show, putt for dough" is a cliché because it is true. So that is the simple answer. A golfer must for the most part, keep it in the fairway, get as much distance as possible and be able to putt well. So how does one accomplish this? First, realize that you have seven shots to play with when you start. 79 is seven over par, so a golfer has seven more bogeys to work with than birdies. This means that instead of trying to blast that drive to get to the green on the par four, you can lay up and get there in two and be fine. If you leave yourself with a long putt, leave it a little short rather than hit it too hard and have another long putt from the other side. In other words, play it smart. This all sounds easy, but it is far from it. Golf has been described as the most frustrating sport of all. One little mistake can ruin a round. One little flaw in a swing can cost a golfer many strokes. Players who play it well for years can for no reason at all get a case of "the shanks" where they cannot keep a ball straight or "The yips" when they cannot hit even a short putt. Many times the reason for this is mental. So how does a golfer get to the point where he/she can get consistent enough to give an 80 score a shot? Practice. Practice. Practice. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... How to get started? What are the etiquette rules? What equipment to use? How to calculate yardage What is the proper stance?li> Much, much more!
