Download or read book If You re a Duffer You re OK in My Book written by Mike Pavlik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the golfer who just enjoys getting out with friends once or twice a week for a round of golf and for the golfer whose skills may need improvement. Basically, this book is for every non-pro golfer who plays the game because, as we know, golf never ceases to frustrate. The author, Mike Pavlik, wrote If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book to deliver the message that it’s all right to be a duffer. In other words, it’s fine if you don’t burn up the course and you don’t play like Fred Couples or Jack Nicklaus. If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book encourages fellow golfers to be honest in evaluating their game, even if their skill levels are subpar. Building on his own experiences, Mike Pavlik highlights that although golf is a sport and a competition, a bad round should not mean a bad day, nor should it discourage us from enjoying a day with friends and exploring the great outdoors. If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book includes a description of experiences and definitions describing a duffer, plus a round-by-round depiction of a duffer (the author himself) and how he plays and approaches each hole. While this book won’t make you a better golfer, at least not in the sense of lower scores, it will help you enjoy each round a little more, even if you don’t break a hundred. A section of the book allows you to record the memorable shots and best efforts that you have already achieved.

Download or read book Duffer s Debut written by Ted Ronberg and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greetings new golfer! Welcome to the most frustrating, infuriating, intimidating yet greatest of sports. Beware that, in taking up golf, your self-esteem is about to suffer irreparable damage. You have, no doubt, remarked, in scanning the myriad of available golf books, that the authors, all blessed with olympian reflexes and hand-eye coordination, first took up the sport before the age of ten. Insightfully, you have probably also concluded that there may be a communication gap between these venerated masters of the game and your own tired, ripened and athletically-challenged physique. Happily, you have just found the holy grail of golf wisdom for beginners. This book is about taking up golf - from a beginner's perspective. Like yourself, the author is a mere mediocre mortal who took up the game in his mature middle years and whose only previous athletic renown was winning a hula hoop contest in a church basement. There are two things to learn about golf - how to hit a ball and understanding the game. The former is best learned, not from a book, but on a range from a teaching pro. You must also learn about the game's culture, customs and conventions, which is what this book is all about. Media Comments on Duffer’s Debut: • “This is the ... book that should be mandatory for all golfers to read before they are allowed on the course.” - Flagstick Golf Magazine • “The book is... humorous and is written from a beginner’s standpoint...middle aged and senior golfers would particularly appreciate it.” – Myrtle Beach Golf News • “...this golf book is a must-read...Great illustrations, a great gift, a great read...it might even turn you into a great golfer ” - Good Times Retirement Magazine • “Ronberg...should be commended for his effort.” - Lorne Rubenstein, The Toronto Globe and Mail • “If you’re thinking of taking up this sport, Ted Ronberg can save you some of the angst you experience.” – Lee-Anne Cusack, CJOH TV • “Not just for beginners, Duffer’s Debut also has a wealth of valuable information for experienced golfers.”- Bob Durant – host of the Golf Report – AM 740 Radio, Toronto • “This is the Holy Grail of golf wisdom for beginners” – Bob Sinclair - Eyelevel Golf Products

Download or read book One Move to Better Golf written by Carl Lohren and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, Carl Lohren made a breakthrough, and One Move to Better Golf explains it all. Highly regarded as an instructor and player in the New York Metropolitan PGA Section, Lohren formed his ideal golf swing after years of studying master golfer Ben Hogan. His eyes were opened at the 1964 Carling Open when he watched Hogan select an 8-iron and take a short swing on a 150 yard shot. To Lohren's surprise, Hogan's ball exploded off the clubface and wound up ten feet from the pin! This inspired Lohren to start his swing by turning his left shoulder as Hogan had. Immediately upon doing so, Carl's ball flight took on a different look: it had a piercing trajectory, with plenty of carry and roll. Carl continued to refine his method, so that in 1968, he won the NY State PGA Championship in a playoff over former Ryder Cup player Bill Collins. In One Move to Better Golf, Lohren explains a simple method of starting the golf swing with one move that incorporates the fundamentals. In doing so, he gives you a framework of confidence for your swing. He also provides students with a complete methodology of the physical and mental preparation necessary for effective shotmaking. Whether you are a low or high handicapper, One Move to Better Golf will give you a clear understanding of the total golf swing.

Download or read book The Care and Feeding of the True Duffer written by Dennis Vannatta and published by . This book was released on 2006-10-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the plights of those brow-beaten golfers who have been hopelessly hooked on the game for decades but to their collective dismay, have never been even average -- much less competent -- at playing the game they love. This hilarious book, perhaps the first every written for duffers by a member of their ranks, offers compelling evidence why a fellow duffer can give more relevant evidence on how to improve duffers' feeble golf games then perhaps a professional can. Author Dennis Vannatta's often outrageously funny advice on how to improve and how to save money contains countless lessons learned and humorous anecdotes about his frequently frustrating 40-year love affair with golf that will entertain not only duffers, but newcomers, accomplished players and anyone who loves the game -- or enjoys side-splitting laughter.
