Download or read book Every Shot I Take written by Michael Bamberger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through this moving tribute to his father's love, Davis III passes along the benefits of those lessons in a gem of a book that will improve your golf game—and enhance your life. With every shot he takes, Davis Love III provides a tribute to the strength and the value of his father's teachings. And in Every Shot I Take, he shares with us the psychological and technical lessons he learned about how to play golf with power, with skill, and with joy. His lessons include drills, the Ten Commandments of Putting, six steps to successful long bunker shots, and tips for playing in the wind and rain, on fast greens, or out of long rough. Yet each lesson is ultimately about something more than golf. Golf was, for Davis, Jr., a way of being a father, of teaching his sons how to learn, how to approach whatever they might choose to do with knowledge and with care, how to overcome obstacles through dedication and understanding. It was the vehicle through which he taught the most important lesson of all: "Follow your dream, and enjoy the trip."

Following the clear advice in The Scrambler's Dozen, you will learn to be a great scrambler-to trust your decisions and your ability to execute shots to get the greatest rewards from the game. Like the pros, you too can learn when and how to chip or pitch or putt from off the green, and know how to practice so you're rarely in unfamiliar situations on the golf course.

Download or read book The Shot Maker s Code written by Paul Byrne and published by Shot-Maker's Code Limited. This book was released on 2022-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shot-Maker's Code contains the blueprint for creating any type of golf shot. It has been instinctively known by the golfing greats but hidden from the rest of us until now. The blueprint details the essential stroke elements that every golfer should know. They are the key to successful golf shot outcomes. Learning and applying the blueprint has the potential to transform any golf game. The secret of the golf shot is in how the ball is struck. The golf stroke, the forward motion of the swing, determines how the ball is struck, compressed, and controlled. The stroke defines the golf shot, not the swing. The swing is an automatic reflexive response to a properly configured stroke. Having mapped out the blueprint for shot-making, the author explains how to apply it for various shots. The book is packed with excellent images demonstrating key elements of the stroke. Ball flight profiles and launch and flight data are included to validate the process. Later in the book, the author explores the history of shot-making, looking to the insights of many golfing greats, including Vardon, Jones, Hogan, Nicklaus, Trevino, and Woods. The modern swing and stroke pioneered by the great Ben Hogan are described in detail. Mr. Hogan's 'hidden secret' is also revealed. In summary, The Shot-Maker's Code is a major revelation of how golf can be played at any level and is a fundamental advancement and simplification of how golf should be learned and taught.
