Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can knowing the secrets of Chinese Water Torture, looking for the Holy Grail, learning the mystery behind the Mulligan, and carrying a Hollywood Handicap help you play better golf? Why should you beware the Member's Bounce, play the hand your dealt, kill the big fish, and be a control freak if you want to learn to walk like a winner? And how do the trials of a small-town golf prodigy, a reluctant New York investment banker, a transient wanna-be mini tour player, a college baseball pitcher from Louisiana, and a retired architect from Charleston whose recently lost his wife all help us make sense of it all? These are questions you'll find the answers to in LESSONS FROM THE GOLF GURU - Secrets, Strategies, and Stories for Golf and Life; a book that boldly goes in search of those answers in places the first one never did. These are more than just lessons to help with the number you put on your scorecard, they're also stories that help us relate to those lessons in ways that go way beyond golf. Because golf really is more than just a game, it's also a way of life, and this book will help you get more out of both. Sound like a tall order for a collection of lessons and stories about a Royal and Ancient game? Maybe so, but ultimately these aren't just secrets, strategies, and stories for the game of golf. They are lessons for the game of life.

Book excerpt: What do Mark Twain, Yoda, Quantum Physics, Neuroplasticity, ghosts, taking selfies, $300 Italian leather shoes, and a good shot of Irish Whiskey all have to do with playing better golf? In truth, maybe nothing at all, but on just the off chance that they do you will find out how in LESSONS FROM THE GOLF GURU - Wit, Wisdom, Mind Tricks, & Mysticism for Golf and Life; a book that is part self-help, part memoir, and part narrative on what is wrong with today's game and what we all can do to fix it. It is a treatise on faith, hope, love, and optimism as well as fear, doubt, anger, and suffering of Biblical proportions, like that of Job or Chicago Cubs Fans. Mostly, however, it is a book about perspective, and quite possibly the only golf book you need to read even if you're not a golfer. Since its invention by the Scots over 500 years ago, golf has come to be known as the Game of a Lifetime, but to its 60 million ardent adherents around the globe it also often serves as a metaphor for life itself. This isn't the first book to draw the parallels, nor does it stand alone in offering solutions for the battle that takes place in the six-inch space between your ears. It may be the first, however, that does both in a way that both educates and entertains; making you laugh, cry, reflect, and ultimately walk away with not only a better golf game, but a greater appreciation for the game, your relationship with it, and what it can teach us all about ourselves and life. Sounds like a tall order for a collection of musings about an ancient game in which you hit and chase a little white ball, but ultimately, this isn't just a collection of lessons for the game of golf. It's a collection of lessons for a game far older. They are lessons for the game of life.

Providing a surrounding that is more relaxed can actually be very beneficial when it comes to the effectiveness of a meeting. Some people even make large amounts of money from playing golf.

Don't play not to play poorly) to just about any topic a golfer might imagine, this is the ideal way for players to get all of Rotella's teachings.

Download or read book Unconscious Putting written by Dave Stockton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pro Tours' Hottest Coach" (Golf Digest) reveals the secrets that helped Phil Mickelson win the 2010 Masters and can utterly transform every player's game. When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game. Stockton's breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap. In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stockton's lessons have helped today's leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making.

Download or read book Intrinsic Golf It s Within You written by Bill Denehy and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrinsic Golf - It's Within You: How to Play Better Golf When You Don't Have Time to Practice or Take Lessons will help all golfers, beginners as well as seasoned players, discover that it's easier to find their own swing and play by feel than it is to learn and play with someone else's methods and mechanics. Former Major LEague Pitcher and professional/college coach Bill Denehy was taught the underlying theory behind the basic swing exercises described and demonstrated in Intrinsic Golf by Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams. These exercises provide a simple method for golfers to find or rediscover the rhythmic, flowing swing motion that's within them. By using their own intrinsic swing, instead of today's modern mechanical hitting motion, golfers will come to realize that improvements in both distance and accuracy are derived from consistency, tempo and speed - not power. And since swinging the club is physically less taxing than hitting at the ball, golfers will discover that their new, relaxed swing will result in improved ball striking and lower scores - even when they don't have time to practice or take lessons. Throughout the book, Bill utilizes various facts and notable quotes to validate his theory, including the following excerpt from a recent Golf Digest article by NBC Golf Analyst Johnny Miller: "We're living in an age of power in which distance is king. Young players are taught to just murder the ball, and their swings have become incredibly fast and violent. This is fine for world-class players with superb hand-eye coordination, but for the average golfer it often spells trouble since accuracy is every bit as important as distance. Something has been lost - a thing called "grace." The rhythmic, flowing type of swing that golfers used to envy and try to emulate has fallen by the wayside. It's too bad because the majority of golfers would play better if they practiced with a languid, flowing swing in mind. They would hit the ball more solidly, have better timing, and be more consistent." We could not have stated the case for reading Intrinsic Golf any better. Learn how to find your own rhythmic swing in just two minutes a day. Intrinsic Golf -It's Within You!

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINISH TO THE SKY Volume Three MY TEN DEFINITIVE GOLF LESSONS IN DEDICATION TO ALL THE CONFUSED GOLFERS IN THE WORLD. There are many golfers that simply need to empty their head and read this wonderful book cover to cover with a confident open mind. I can honestly say, " any dedicated golfer I teach in Canada continues to hit fairways and greens the majority of the time." I personally learned from the best ball striker in the world the incredible Moe Norman who passed away in 2004. The golf swing I was taught is timeless, " The world class instruction throughout this book might not start a golf revolution though should rescue the vulnerable confused golfer bombarded from mind boggling internet golf tips." Volume Three puts the icing on the cake for the sweetest golf shots you will ever hit with these ten lessons will magically shape your entire game. Remember Golf knowledge is real power on the golf course. This book presents My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons directly from the golf mind of Canadian Author and Master Golf Instructor, Greg Lavern. Throughout the ten lesson chapters you will consume valuable information that clearly identifies, in dedication to all the confused golfer's in the world, the very best of golf swing knowledge the average or advanced golfer will ever encounter or be introduced to. A complete instructional overview is provided from the moment you grip the golf club, with explanation on the golf swing and how to score, and further explores inner techniques of how to manage your golf game. My lesson presentation is a major source of information for the golfer who wants to hit the golf ball straight and pure. I can teach most golfers using the contents of this book to improve their golf game with my incredible insight and knowledge based on perfection learned personally from some of golf's greatest ball strikers in Canada. With numerous years of practice and playing golf with Moe Norman who many around the world consider the greatest ball striker of all time. Previous books written in the FINISH TO THE SKY series identify this wonderful experience that Lavern has captured and passed on to the golfing world, which has willingly acknowledged: FINISH TO THE SKY The Golf Swing Moe Norman Taught Me: Golf Knowledge Was His Gift To Me. FINISH TO THE SKY The Authentic Tournament Winning Golf Swing Of Canadian Master Ball Striker Moe Norman, I Personally Experienced. It would be fair to say that through the years of instruction under the mentorship of Moe Norman I paved my understanding of the golf swing and golf mind that was conditioned on the unknown. Other great ball strikers on occasion such as George Knudson and Al Balding, who were champions on the US PGA tour, provided some gems of golf knowledge in person while I was a dedicated student of the game. The incredible professional's I was fortunate to learn under certainly qualifies me for a general high standard of instruction with My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons (Volume Three) in the FINISH TO THE SKY series. With all the swing gimmicks, and golf instructors with plenty of their passed back-and-forth opinions from self observation, have little understanding of how the golf swing actually works which has been clearly shown from historical application. I ask these instructors of authority who they ever learned under that was a great ball striker, so useful knowledge can be passed on to the golfing community without confusion? Its unlikely the majority of golf instructors today could provide a well known name of a great player or ball striker as their mentor. My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons FINISH TO THE SKY (Volume Three) will set a general standard of published instruction, this needed to be written at sixty three years of age while I am still alive, for future generations to learn from my golf swing and ball striking experiences of enjoyment and simplification. GREG LAVERN Canadian Golf Author/Master Golf Instructor
