Book excerpt: In golf, as in law, ignorance is no excuse. Inadvertently lifting a ball without permission, or removing a certain type of obstruction, will lead to penalty strokes and possibly mean the difference between victory and defeat. The rules of golf have been formulated to ensure orderly play, resolve disputes and answer a host of questions about various likely scenarios. Every four years R&A (the governing body for the Rules of Golf) and the United States Golf Association agree any necessary amendments or clarifications to the rules. This edition of Golf Rules Explained has been revised and updated to include all of the latest developments for the 2012-2015 period. Following an extended introduction featuring points of etiquette, equipment, useful definitions and the rules of play, Golf Rules Explained outlines the rules in an easy-to-follow, plain-language form. What is or is not permissable on the putting green? What are the rules concerning a lost ball? What constitutes an 'outside agency'? These and many more questions are answered thoroughly and comprehensively. Illustrated with over 100 colour photographs, and produced in handy-sized format, this book is your essential fairway companion.

This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...This program has taken strokes off my game, my friends are always commenting on my improvements.." Donna CleggAre You Ready for the Good Life? You are over 50, retired or closing in on the golden years, and enjoying more free time because the kids are starting their own lives (at least we hope so). Many people look forward to these years as a time to travel and play more golf. The good life, right?Well, it's supposed to be but it's not so much fun if you are playing bad golf!Many golfers take their first golf lessons right about this time. But it does not take long to learn that golf instruction is not tailored to golfers "your age." The golf instruction you get, is often identical to the instruction the 15 year old high school players get. Do you have the same body you had when you were 15? The same flexibility and strength?At Age Defying Golf, we knew that a different approach was needed. We know that many golfers over 50 no longer have the flexibility to simply correct swing problems with a quick tip or lesson. Stiffness at the ankles, hips, shoulders and back forcefully prevent the golfer from making a good golf swing. As a result, the traditional approach to golf instruction is no longer effective. If you have been frustrated with your golf game, it is not your fault. Golf instruction has not been tailored to your golf game or your golf body...until now!This book, written by the instructors at Age Defying Golf, is the first golf instruction book specifically designed for golfers over 50. Golfers who are beginning to feel the effects of "age" on their golf game. In this book, we have identified the top 12 swing killers that we find over and over in golfers over 50 that cause poor consistency, poor contact with the ball, and loss of distance. But we don't stop there. We give you specific, step by step instructions and illustrations to correct the body restriction that is CAUSING the swing fault, followed by the most effective drills and instruction proven to engrain a powerful, consistent and repeating golf swing. That is a lot. But we go even further. We insure your success by providing vetted recommendations and comparisons of highly effective training aids specifically designed to fix your swing fault that we have successfully used with our clients. From A to Z, if you are over 50 and are unhappy with your golf game, we have all the tools and instruction to make it great! You can experience an Age Defying Golf Game. You have worked really hard for a long time, it would be a shame to spend your retirement frustrated and unhappy with your golf game. The Golfing Good Life provides you with every tool you need to play great golf and have fun making your best years truly great.
Download or read book Legendary Lessons written by Claudia Mazzucco and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern golf as it is practiced all over the world developed in the last thirty years. And yet, the legendary Walter Hagen, and some of his friends, would deliver an unexpected message to the busy, stressed, and often tech-oriented golfing audience: how to play your best golf with logic and imagination. Though Hagen never published a book on the subject of golf instruction, he did teach and write about golf at numerous times throughout his life. The selections in Legendary Lessons bring together Hagen’s musings on the mental approach to golf with those of several highly gifted golfing champions and distinguished chroniclers of the 1920s—including Bernard Darwin, Harold Hilton, Bobby Jones, Joyce and Roger Wethered, Ernest Jones, Alex Morrison, Henry Longhurst, Francis Ouimet, Grantland Rice, Gene Sarazen, Harry Vardon, O. B. Keeler, and several others—to identify the patterns involved in the method of a sportsman. This book explores golf as a performing art in the light of the champions’ experience as it began to develop and evolve throughout the 20th century. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team. In addition to books on popular team sports, we also publish books for a wide variety of athletes and sports enthusiasts, including books on running, cycling, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, martial arts, golf, camping, hiking, aviation, boating, and so much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
Download or read book Harvey Penick S Little Red Book written by Harvey Penick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1992-05-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINISH TO THE SKY Volume Three MY TEN DEFINITIVE GOLF LESSONS IN DEDICATION TO ALL THE CONFUSED GOLFERS IN THE WORLD. There are many golfers that simply need to empty their head and read this wonderful book cover to cover with a confident open mind. I can honestly say, " any dedicated golfer I teach in Canada continues to hit fairways and greens the majority of the time." I personally learned from the best ball striker in the world the incredible Moe Norman who passed away in 2004. The golf swing I was taught is timeless, " The world class instruction throughout this book might not start a golf revolution though should rescue the vulnerable confused golfer bombarded from mind boggling internet golf tips." Volume Three puts the icing on the cake for the sweetest golf shots you will ever hit with these ten lessons will magically shape your entire game. Remember Golf knowledge is real power on the golf course. This book presents My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons directly from the golf mind of Canadian Author and Master Golf Instructor, Greg Lavern. Throughout the ten lesson chapters you will consume valuable information that clearly identifies, in dedication to all the confused golfer's in the world, the very best of golf swing knowledge the average or advanced golfer will ever encounter or be introduced to. A complete instructional overview is provided from the moment you grip the golf club, with explanation on the golf swing and how to score, and further explores inner techniques of how to manage your golf game. My lesson presentation is a major source of information for the golfer who wants to hit the golf ball straight and pure. I can teach most golfers using the contents of this book to improve their golf game with my incredible insight and knowledge based on perfection learned personally from some of golf's greatest ball strikers in Canada. With numerous years of practice and playing golf with Moe Norman who many around the world consider the greatest ball striker of all time. Previous books written in the FINISH TO THE SKY series identify this wonderful experience that Lavern has captured and passed on to the golfing world, which has willingly acknowledged: FINISH TO THE SKY The Golf Swing Moe Norman Taught Me: Golf Knowledge Was His Gift To Me. FINISH TO THE SKY The Authentic Tournament Winning Golf Swing Of Canadian Master Ball Striker Moe Norman, I Personally Experienced. It would be fair to say that through the years of instruction under the mentorship of Moe Norman I paved my understanding of the golf swing and golf mind that was conditioned on the unknown. Other great ball strikers on occasion such as George Knudson and Al Balding, who were champions on the US PGA tour, provided some gems of golf knowledge in person while I was a dedicated student of the game. The incredible professional's I was fortunate to learn under certainly qualifies me for a general high standard of instruction with My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons (Volume Three) in the FINISH TO THE SKY series. With all the swing gimmicks, and golf instructors with plenty of their passed back-and-forth opinions from self observation, have little understanding of how the golf swing actually works which has been clearly shown from historical application. I ask these instructors of authority who they ever learned under that was a great ball striker, so useful knowledge can be passed on to the golfing community without confusion? Its unlikely the majority of golf instructors today could provide a well known name of a great player or ball striker as their mentor. My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons FINISH TO THE SKY (Volume Three) will set a general standard of published instruction, this needed to be written at sixty three years of age while I am still alive, for future generations to learn from my golf swing and ball striking experiences of enjoyment and simplification. GREG LAVERN Canadian Golf Author/Master Golf Instructor

This guru of the game offers an alternative, enlightening approach that will simplify and clarify the process. “Swing,” the centerpiece of Dark Age instruction, “is an Evil word,” Phairway Phil preaches. “It must be banished from your mind and mouth forever more. It is the root cause of our misconception.” Instead, he is the first to introduce the concept of Coil/Strike. “All living things COIL and STRIKE,” he declares. “It is the basic movement of all life and the basic movement for all golf strokes.” Through step-by-step instruction and unique images—as well as LMAO stories to keep you smilin’ and energized—Phairway Phil describes the Coil/Strike approach in detail. All strokes are addressed, including chipping and putting. Simplify your game and pare down your handicap with this exciting, revolutionary approach. Let the fun begin! COIL/STRIKE has arrived as golf’s first creative nonfiction instruction book. Author Phairway Phil unites fiction with nonfiction in an original exploration of the genre—a groundbreaking introduction from Gatekeeper Press. Learning swing mechanics can make golfers loopy. But a coil strikes. At last, a brand-new concept to help millions of frustrated golfers. It’s a step-by-step method with merriment. COIL/STRIKE is meant for everyone who can meet the book’s easy Reader Qualification Requirements. Join the COIL/STRIKE revolution! READER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: This Golf Manifesto should only be read by right-handed, males who are 33 to 75 years old. NOT A BEGINNER.
