Download or read book Golf for Beginning Players written by Jennette A. Stein and published by Garrett County Press. This book was released on 2012-11-10 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf for Beginning Players provides solid advice on swing, position and feel that is more sensible that the lion's share of gimmickry peddled in contemporary golf literature. The guide was published in 1938 and so contains a fair amount of lost golf jargon. From old club sizes ("Brassie" and "Mashie") to forgotten scoring jargon. Did you know a match is said to be at "dormie" when one side is as many holes ahead as there are holes left to play? This is a short, helpful and inexpensive addition for any golfer's library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves. “One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code

Book excerpt: Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the first book in a four-book series, The Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series. The next volume in the series will be Dave Pelz's Putting Bible. "He who rules the short game collects the gold." --Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who's looking to improve his or her game.

The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and win. A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game. Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can--and will--help you to consistently shoot lower scores.

Download or read book The New Golf Players Guide for Beginners written by Tom Scott and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOLF IT OFF AND BECOME A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER Widely known as the "gentleman's game" because of its strict adherence to tradition, golf is arguably the most polite sport on the planet. No matter their talent or experience level, players are expected to comport themselves with dignity and grace at all times. Those who do not are looked upon with disdain. With that in mind, here is our golf etiquette guide for beginning players. Mind Your Manners The first and most important rule new players should follow is to act in gentlemanly/womanly manner. Practice basic courtesy by saying, "please" and "thank you" whenever possible. If you should sneeze, say, "excuse me." All of these little niceties show respect for your companions and the game. Of course, it is also important to respect the course. That means not spitting, littering, or harming the grounds in any way. Don't Be A Slow Poke Even though there's no time limit, golfers tend to resent players who take too much time. This is especially true if the party in question consistently holds others up because he isn't ready when it's his turn. As a beginner, it is important to be thoughtful and considerate of other people's time because if you are not, you will quickly gain a bad reputation for it on the links. A simple tip in the golf etiquette guide for beginning players is to never look for a lost ball for more than five minutes. Control Your Temper Putting a tiny ball in a tiny hole on an enormous lawn might just be the greatest challenge in all of sports. It is no wonder beginners often lose their cool (and their clubs) when frustration gets the better of them. As a new golfer, you will undoubtedly make a lot of mistakes. But getting angry about them won't help, it will merely ruin the experience for you and your companions. If you are having a bad game, remind yourself that it is only a game. Dress Your Best One of the simplest things you can do to show your respect for others and for the game is to dress in an appropriate manner. In most cases, that means wearing slacks and shirt with a collar. Your clothes needn't be the sharpest in the clubhouse, but they should be clean, pressed, and nearly new. Although it is by no means required, many players choose to tuck their shirts in. Turn Off Your Cell Phone Nothing ruins a calm, relaxing, peaceful round of golf like the annoying, muffled ringing of cell phones in pockets. Even as a beginner, other players will be justifiably furious with you if your phone starts ringing in their backswing. Not only might the faux pas cause an argument, it will also hold up your game for several minutes. As a result, it is often best to either turn off your phone or leave it in your car. Honestly, the world can live without you for a few hours! This NEW GOLF PLAYERS GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS is a comprehensive book on everything you need to know if you want to become a professional golfer and an all time winner. You will be taken through the beginner to advanced stages, practices, training and secrets to become a great golfer. Start learning everything you need to know about golfing and winning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 50 yards and in, no golfer in history has demonstrated more talent, flair, creativity and precision, or generated more raw excitement, than Phil Mickelson. His ability with the sand wedge and putter are legendary not only among fans but his peers as well, and it is his skill with those clubs that is primarily responsible for his winning 34 tournaments on the PGA Tour, including three major championships. In his first-ever instruction book, Mickelson explains in detail how to master every phase of the short game. Mickelson maintains that any golfer of average ability can become a deadly short-game player by approaching the subject with a blend of science (proper mechanics and setup) and art (imagination and feel). Mickelson does a fine job explaining both; combining the wisdom of his great teachers with his own fertile imagination, cultivated from 34 years of experimentation, trial and error. No golfer can afford to miss out on Mickelson′s secrets and tips.

Download or read book Golf for Beginners written by Jim Stonich and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf is unique in that it is a solitary sport. In competitive golf, another player's performance will have absolutely no effect on your performance and vice versa. In even the most elite of high-profile golf competitions, all golfers are ultimately competing against no one other than themselves. This is why it's important, as you learn and grow in the game, to play within your own capability. One of the most frequent and preventable mistakes that golfers make at every skill level is attempting to emulate or keep up with their peers. If you're just beginning to play, don't expect (or try) to become a golf pro overnight. Instead, just focus on accepting your game for what it is and gradually steering yourself towards excellence. Good golfing is patient golfing. This book is designed to be a beginner's guide to the basics of golf. It won't turn you into Tiger Woods, but it will certainly prevent you from seeming clueless or having to ask embarrassing questions on the course. By the end of this book, you'll know what clubs to use, how to hold them, the rules of the game, how the scoring system works, and important golf etiquette. Let's get started!
