Download or read book The Golfer of the Decade on the Pga Tour written by Holanda Ray Holanda and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golfer of the Decade is a prize that has never been awarded, even though the Golfer of the Century was so honored. This book tells the story of the PGA Tour as a battle between the greatest golfers of the game for the prize of The Golfer of the Decade throughout its history. I define The Golfer of the Decade as that golfer who won the most tournaments on the PGA Tour in each calendar decade. In case of tie, the winner would be that golfer, among those tied, who won the most majors. The year 2006 was the 90th anniversary of the PGA Tour and the 10th anniversary of Tiger Woods's membership on the PGA Tour. This book provides an opportunity to compare the accomplishments of Tiger Woods with the greatest players in the game who preceded him. This book is not only about Walter Hagen, Paul Runyan, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Nick Price, and Tiger Woods. It is also about the battles they fought and the players with whom they competed to earn the title of The Golfer of the Decade on the PGA Tour.
Download or read book An Enduring Passion written by Sam Torrance and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ryder Cup has defined Sam Torrance's life as a professional golfer. He has played with and against some of the greatest golfers the game has ever known, in the biggest and most high-pressure team event in golf. In An Enduring Passion, Torrance recalls every great moment in the two decades he spent pursuing Ryder Cup glory and looks at how the event has changed since he was trying to qualify for it as a player in the late 1970s. He examines the tactics and techniques of the captains he played under and those he played against, and tells how his huge experience as a player, and his vice captaincy to Mark James in the bear pit of Brookline, shaped the way he conducted his own captaincy at The Belfry in 2002. Everything he had learned about the Ryder Cup went into his leadership during that event, and when he raised the trophy aloft at the end of it all he knew he had learned the lessons well. Today, Sam Torrance is one of the most identifiable faces, and voices, of golf. It is the Ryder Cup, though, that made him, and this book is his enlightening account of the competition from an insider's perspective.

Download or read book written by Bob Hill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a "How To' book about improving one's athletic and golfing ability. It exposes the 'I'm too old," belief and the "I can't' charade. The better teaching in golf comes from those with an inveterate knowledge of the game, and the ability to convey it. As one who has lived the experience of improvement through strengthening the left hand, I'm able to sneak up beside the reader and say, "Oh yes you can. Yes, you CAN. SEE? You couldn't get there from HERE, but if you do THIS first, or accomplish THAT task, you'll improve enough to do THIS." And enjoy the doing of it. Sports like golf - with intricate physical mechanics - SEEM like mysteries to many because they've missed the good instruction, or listened through ears of disbelief because they weren't athletic superstars in their youth. Careful readers will understand they don't NEED to have learned golf as a child to become proficient and have fun with it as an adult. They just need to learn to transfer their personal physical talents and sports abilities into the mechanics of the golf swing. This is a process, and it's what the book is about. I've sought in the writing to simplify golf - a game in which intricacy and difficulty IS the draw, as well as the bane. The book never strays from the theme that golf is a physical game, but without spreading it thin, I maintain that athleticism is gained through diligent and guided practice, peppered with belief. The book focuses on elemental truths fundamental to successfully striking a golf ball. immutable nuggets I've come face-to-face with through experience, highlighted and punctuated by wisdom from, among others, Ted Williams, Jack Nicklaus and Muhammed Ali. Most golfers swing the clubwith a dominant right hand, because 90 percent of the population is right-handed.

Download or read book The Emerald Home Run written by Steven Andrew Janda and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you look for parallels in baseball and the Bible, you will find them! The Emerald Home Run is a true story which combines the Bible and a book author Steven A. Janda wrote about the parables of Christ in 2008 entitled, Ready or Not, Here I Come. Suddenly, says Janda, I began to notice many interesting parallels in Major League Baseball. On April 15, 2009, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 613th career home run, The Emerald Home Run, after returning to the Seattle Mariners from a nine-year absence with the Cincinnati Reds and briefly with the Chicago White Sox. As soon as Griffey hit the home run, Hall of Fame Announcer Dave Neihaus said this was Griffey's 400th home run as a Mariner. Instantly, says Janda, I remembered Moses, who delivered the children of Israel after 400 years of bondage to the Egyptians. The author reveals numeric mysteries, including how Revelation appears in Genesis, how the tribes of Israel in the Law of Moses are joined numerically to Genesis and revealed in Major League Baseball by the Gregorian calendar. And children will love the secret formula for multiplying certain number patterns into millions without a calculator!The revelations in this book have never appeared in text books. The Emerald Home Run is truly an arithmetic lesson for the whole world to enjoy. Do not be left behind. About the Author: Steven A. Janda of Renton, Washington, invites readers to learn about the Babe Ruth 999 Mystery and much more at www.EmeraldHomeRun.blogspot.com.

Download or read book Ben Hogan s Magical Device written by Ted Hunt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, Ben Hogan stated in the serialized lessons he wrote for Life magazine that he had “a secret.” He challenged the world to find it by stating "It is easy to see if I tell you where to look." He then wrote his legendary instructional book, Five Lessons, and created a remarkable golf swing puzzle, but somehow one important piece of information was missing. Golf expert after golf expert have attempted to define this secret over the years, serving to compile a rather lengthy list of what they think the secret is but never quite explaining how it's done. Enter Ben Hogan's Magical Device, a revealing book which intends to finally explain, in universally understandable terms, that long-lost secret to Hogan's swing. As a lifelong golfer with 50+ years of experience, two degrees in Physical Education and a Doctorate in History, author Ted Hunt became determined to track down Hogan’s secret himself. He reviewed most of the literature concerning Hogan and interviewed many professionals (including Jack Nicklaus) and the result of his research produced a clearer understanding of the source of the confusion concerning Hogan’s secret. An hypothesis was conceived and tested, and Hunt was pleased to discover that his analysis stood up to critical examination. But perhaps more importantly, his golf responded with more accuracy and lower scores, which included shooting his age (79) several times within weeks of embracing the secret. Complete with 100 photos/illustrations and a foreword by movie star Sean Connery, Ben Hogan's Magical Device gives an easy-to-follow explanation of Hogan’s secret, where it comes from, and the foundations which support its successful execution. Interspersed throughout the text are stories from professional acquaintances who spoke with Hunt about their times with Mr. Hogan.

The cost in financial terms has been estimated to be in excess of NZ$20 billion but there are no statistics that enumerate how many people have been affected by the problem both directly and indirectly. Is it possible that one of the main causes of the problem that is, allowing the use of untreated timber eventuated as a consequence of external influences? What part have successive national governments and politicians of all persuasions played by avoiding and accepting responsibility for causing the dilemma in the first place and in failing to provide comprehensive solutions to facilitate helping those affected to achieve satisfactory results? The book tells the story of how Fred and Elsie Robertson become unwittingly involved in a leaky building debacle and of how they and their lawyers attempt to get restitution from those responsible as a consequence of their negligent actions and also describes a series of theoretical conspiracy plots associated with the case.
