Download or read book How to Coach and Play Championship Golf written by Dave Williams and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ever since we at the University of Houston became fortunate and began winning some golf championships, many of my coaching friends have half-kiddingly advised me to write a book to let them in on our "secrets." Of course, there are no real secrets in the coaching profession. Some of us achieve better results by using different methods. I don't claim to have all the answers-by any stretch of the imagination. But perhaps some of the ideas we've adopted in coaching and promoting collegiate and junior golf will be of some interest to you. That is the main purpose of this book. Besides exploring golf from the coaching aspect, I've included some instruction and playing tips which I hope will be useful to individual golfers. One of my fondest dreams will be realized when interscholastic and intercollegiate team golf takes its rightful place alongside the so-called major sports in the eyes of the participant, coach, and spectator. I hope this book will help to further this cause." - Dave Williams ----- DAVID G. (DAVE) WILLIAMS, whose University of Houston golf teams won a record five straight National Collegiate championships between 1956 and 1960, was an associate professor in the School of Engineering when he became golf coach after the 1951 season. Before Williams volunteered to coach the golfers as an additional duty at no extra pay, the chore was handled by the school's athletic director, Harry Fouke, who was so busily engaged in the countless tasks of putting the university's fledgling athletic program on its feet that he had precious little time to devote to coaching the golf team. Taking the job after a lark offer by Fouke, Williams strolled into the university's sports publicity office, introduced himself, and announced he was going to build a national championship golf team. Politely wished "the best of luck" by the snickering sports publicity director, who barely knew that college golf existed, Williams plunged into his job with the zeal of a big-time football coach. In Eve years, Williams' teams brought to the University of Houston its Erst national championship in any sport- the 1956 NCAA golf title. Running up an amazing string of other tournament championships along the way, Houston's golfers, under Williams, broke the modem NCAA record in 1960 when they won their fifth straight national team title, and added four individual championships, too! Between 1955 and 1961, Houston's teams ran up 40 tournament championships, defeating 592 teams along the way. Between 1957 and 1960, they won 21 straight tournaments and defeated 287 teams in a row, a record unsurpassed in the annals of intercollegiate golf. Houston's impact on the over-all American golf scene became apparent in 1961 when the alumni made their appearances on the professional golf tour-and immediately began winning money. After answering countless letters from golf coaches all over the country, giving them pointers on how to go about building golf teams at their schools, Williams decided to write a book on the subject. In this book are the secrets of his success.

Book excerpt: In Only One Shot, V. J. Trolio, one of the world's foremost experts on coaching and developing junior golfers, presents his proven process to create a disciplined, structured, and loving environment for junior golfers and prepare them for success. Junior golfers, striving to fulfill dreams while dealing with a gamut of emotions and stresses, benefit from such a supportive atmosphere that only parents can provide. Only One Shot, a thorough guide to parenting junior golfers, arms parents with the tools and information needed so that their child's dreams do not "melt into the sea." As V. J. Trolio says, "While winning is an outcome we all strive for, the process of preparation is the key to unlocking potential." In other words, parents have "Only One Shot" to: Promote a growth mind-set among young adults pursuing the game of golf. Give junior golfers the tools of success in a fun, disciplined, defined, and caring golf culture. Promote strong minds and prepare junior golfers for the enjoyment of competitive golf and life. As young golfers walk the fairways and build dreams of becoming college (or even professional) golfers, it is important for a parent or caregiver to be the educated "tribal elder." Although PGA Professionals win awards and accolades for their ability to teach golf, they are a small part of the coaching team. Parents are the most important part of the team. Going into youth athletics without education on the emotional IQ needed has damaged many a relationship between a parent and child, and Only One Shot provides tools and tips to prevent that. More than a manual--it is a thoughtful and philosophical guide to life and the game of golf that whole families will benefit from. With Inspiring Insight from the untold story of Jim Gallagher Jr.

There is a science when it comes to learning, and this golf book attempts to break it down into a pleasant read. When it comes to learning about golf most writings are based solely on mechanics, whereas this golf book goes to the cause, not the effect of all golfers problems - practice. Practice is the number one reason golfers stifle their skill development, and the overall goal of this golf book is change that. Golfers focus far too much on bashing golf balls rather than hitting golf shots.

These are just some of the items discussed in this golf book! The best golfers in the world seem to leave their spectators in awe. Their high level of motor skill when executing fine movements in a game that breeds more frustration than inspiration makes it difficult to comprehend. The complexity of golf's main aim (getting the little white ball in the hole and bypassing the obstacles presented around it) caused mathematicians to conclude that without proper practice and form, this goal is unlikely. How do they do it? What makes them so special? Why are they so good? This book will guide you through scientific principles that reveal how the best became the best. Although Expert Golfer has been written and designed as a book, it does possess characteristics of a golf manual, due to its nature of high level information. Learning scientists have spent their lives trying to understand what makes elite performers elite, and what makes the best better than the rest. It is now time to use what they have found, and apply it to our industries coaching. Call it a golf manual if you please, the content is what differentiates this book, from any other you have ever read.

Download or read book Every Shot Must Have a Purpose written by Pia Nilsson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life. As coaches to some of golf’s top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They don’t believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don’t even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision. Unlike any other golf book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player’s game. The book’s revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe it’s possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power. An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose is inspiration for life, not just the links.
