Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Cathey, AKA Rick Limmer, retired from a 40 year career as an Operations Research Analyst to play golf at PGA West in La Quinta, CA.

In this, his second book about golf, Rick writes about the course management skills that can immediately cut 10 strokes off the scores of high handicap golfers. If you’re a high handicap golfer, this book will show you how going for bogey will get you bogey when going for par gets you doubles and triples. It will show you how to stay out of trouble and how to get out cleanly when you get in trouble anyway. This book will not fi x your swing. It’s aimed at fi xing your game. The author’s Bogey Golfer Solution is demonstrated by examples on two famous golf courses at PGA West, the Arnold Palmer course you see on TV during the Humana Classic and on the PGA West Stadium course that people come from all over the world to play.

Book excerpt: Most golf enthusiasts have read Harvey Penick's Little Red Book (1993) in which Harvey shares lessons and teachings from a lifetime of teaching golf. Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw, both now on the senior tour and past their prime years, were students of Harvey. As someone who has always loved history, I enjoyed reading his "pearls of wisdom" about golf. This one from Jack Burke, Sr. in 1943 impacted me the most: "Get a system of some kind in playing (golf). Any kind of a system beats trusting to luck." Harvey Penick's Little Read Book, Maxims, p. 90Some years back, two of my sons were starting to play junior golf and at their young ages were showing some passion and aptitude for the game. I had been playing for several decades but considered myself a bogey golfer. My mission became to play golf with them as much as I could and "show them the ropes" of this challenging game. I knew that even as a bogey golfer, I could give them some tips. On family vacations, the clubs often went with us. My wife was sure to ask me, "Are you going to play golf with the boys when we're in Florida on spring break?" I knew then that I had it made as a "golf Dad!"Back in the day, I was playing golf with my young sons giving them some basic course teaching. The acronym S.Y.S.T.E.M. all of the sudden "came to me". ShapeYourShotToExactMeasurementWow! I realized that S.Y.S.T.E.M. captured the main components of the game. For the next several months, I formulated a game-plan. I realized that golf was a precise game requiring a knowledge of precise, distance measurements. I taught my sons the keys of shaping shots, being accurate in distances, picking exact targets, and doing the proper preparation and practice. But I also focused on keeping the game fun for them.I also realized that golf had a huge mental component.

George Plimpton, one of the finest participatory sports journalists, spent a month of self-imposed torture on the tour to find out. Along the way, he meets amateurs, pros, caddies, officials, fans, and hangers-on.

Download or read book Hit Hope written by David Owen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Nicklaus once said of the incomparable Tiger Woods (echoing a comment made about Nicklaus by Bobby Jones), "He plays a game with which I am not familiar." David Owen, however, plays a game with which we are all very familiar: He plays in a weekly foursome, takes mulligans off the first tee, practices intermittently at best, marks his ball on the green with his lucky coin (until the luck wears out and another trinket is deemed to have better karma), wore a copper wristband because Seve Ballesteros for reasons beyond understanding said to, and struggles for consistency even though his swing is consistent -- and mediocre. He bets, he wins, he loses, he agonizes, he dreams. Hit & Hope is as pure a definition of the game of golf as anyone has ever devised. Through the essays in this book, acclaimed columnist and author Owen takes the mundane aspects of the game and our approach to it and stands them on their head, turns them inside out, and lays our follies bare for all the world to see (all the world except ourselves, of course). He does for American golfers what P. G. Wodehouse did for our English cousins, or Jacques Tati did for humanity at large: He finds humor and nobility in our essential silliness, as expressed in our pursuit of a little white ball over a vast (but not vast enough to contain our slices) greensward. Funny, candid, and thoughtful, Hit & Hope is an invaluable addition to any duffer's bag and the truest commentary on how -- and why -- the rest of us play golf.
