Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play like a girl! A female golf writer offers tips, inspiration, and laughs for women who want to excel at the sport. Golf blogger Patricia Hannigan has a driving ambition: to get each of her thousands of female followers to play like a girl. That, she insists, is just the way for a woman to excel at golf—and, every bit as important, to have a lot of fun doing so. A witty and wise departure from oh-so-predictable instructional guides, Golf Girl’s Little Tartan Book doesn’t focus only on technique. Hannigan also writes about attitude and the mental game, demonstrating how a gal who’s passionate about golf can use her womanly style to her distinct advantage on the course. From teeing off (don’t be coy about using those red tees) to getting teed off (don’t be timid about throwing the occasional tantrum), Hannigan entertainingly dispenses advice that’s sure to be useful to any woman intent on securing membership in the “boys’ club” called golf.

Download or read book More Pars written by Christina R and published by . This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Pars Power Edition, from the best selling golf author of the Golf Survival Guide series, is dedicated to helping you get more distance and accuracy off the tee and from the fairway. Hitting the ball farther means more greens in regulation and more parsl Through this guided how-to book, you'll learn the whys, whats and hows. So, let's get to it! CHRISTINA RICCI IS LPGA CLASS A, TPI GOLF LEVEL 3, TPI POWER LEVEL 2 and TPI FITNESS LEVEL 2 CERTIFIED, CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 AND A BEST-SELLING GOLF AUTHOR. Christina took up the game in 2000 and dropped to a 5 handicap in five short years. She published her first book, A Girls On-Course Survival Guide to Golf in 2008 and never looked back. She has authored five books and 20 pocket guides, sells branded golf accessories, hosts national golf camps, and teaches locally at the beautiful Atkinson Resort & Country Club located in Atkinson New Hampshire, 45 minutes north of Boston. Shes been featured on the cover of GolfTips magazine and her popular golf tips are featured on the Golf Channel, her YouTube Channel (youtube.com/c/morepars), and online portals such as WomensGolf.com, Golfforher.com and LPGA Womens Network. This guide is your go-to for understanding, measuring and training for more distance off the tee and from the fairway. It is divided into three core sections: POWER BODY; POWER TECHNIQUE; POWER EQUIPMENT. Within each section youll first learn the whys. It is important to understand the general principles and concepts before applying them to your game. Knowledge is power. It is my opinion that golf handicaps have not changed because of this. Students do as their instructors ask or watch YouTube videos. But oftentimes, they do not truly understand the core principles of the golf swing in relation to their body, equipment and technique. In addition, I see far too many players misdiagnosing themselves, which sends them down the wrong path. Instead, lets truly educate you on the essentials of ball striking so you can see real change in your game. Youll measure your current body, equipment and technique, so you have an accurate starting point. From there, youll apply your knowledge with training. This Guide is not a replacement for your instructor. I highly recommend working with a coach or training through the MorePars.com platform. The best players in the world have swing, fitness and/or medical coaches. As recreational players, you too can train like the pros and experience significant gains off the tee and from the fairway. Are you ready for more pars and more power? Lets get to it!

Download or read book Harvey Penick S Little Red Book written by Harvey Penick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1992-05-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Penick's life in golf began when he started caddying at the Austin, (Texas), Country Club at age eight. Eighty-one years later he is still there, still dispensing wisdom to pros and beginners alike. His stature in the golf world is reflected in the remarkable array of champions he's worked with, both men and women, including U.S. Open champion and golf's leading money winner Tom Kite, Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, and LPGA Hall of Famers Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls, and Kathy Whitworth. It is not for nothing that the Teacher of the Year Award given by the Golf Teachers Association is called the Harvey Penick Award. Now, after sixty years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick is finally letting his Little Red Book (named for the red notebook he's always kept) be seen by the golf world. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hypertechnical jargon that's grown up around the golf swing, and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play their best. He avoids negative words; when Tom Kite asked him if he should "choke down" on the club for a particular shot, Harvey told him to "grip down" instead, to keep the word "choke" from entering his mind. He advises golfers to have dinner with people who are good putters; their confidence may rub off, and it's certainly better than listening to bad putters complain. And he shows why, if you've got a bad grip, the last thing you want is a good swing. Throughout, Penick's love of golf and, more importantly, his love of teaching shine through. He gets as much pleasure from watching a beginner get the ball in the air for the first time as he does when one of his students wins the U.S. Open. Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is an instant classic, a book to rank with Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf and Tommy Armour's How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Sports She Wrote series offers a comprehensive exploration of 19th-century women's athletic fashion, featuring 124 articles written by 80 women (125,000 words) between the Civil War and 1900, published in dozens of periodicals. Illustrated with 130 images, this collection showcases the intersection of fashion and sport, from the scandalous practicalities of swimwear to the refined elegance of ice-skating ensembles. Spanning a wide range of physical activities, including golf, tennis, horseback riding, hunting, cycling, swimming, skating, mountaineering, physical fitness and more, these articles delve into the evolution of sportswear as a pivotal aspect of the dress reform movement of the 1800s. Amidst the social constraints of Victorian-era fashion, athletic women rebelled, ushering in innovations such as shorter skirts, practical footwear, and adaptable attire for the New Woman’s healthful physical activities. Controversy surrounded garments like bloomers and knickerbockers, challenging societal norms and inspiring debates over femininity and functionality. Corsets were shunned and tennis shoes became fashionable. Offering insights into the social impact of women's athletic attire and its enduring influence on contemporary fashion, this volume serves as a fascinating time-capsule of the evolution of style and women's self-expression in the 19th century. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
