In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing

Mike — Tue, 25 May 2010 15:49:37 +0000

When author Philip Reed met ninety-year-old Mike Austin, he knew that Austin held the record for the longest drive everâ��an awesome 515-yard shot during a Senior PGA event. What he didnâ��t know was that he was forging a bond with a man whose amazing life he chronicles in a book that is charming, funny, and wise, and cherished by amateur and pro golfers alike. In their sessions together, Austin spins yarns about winning wagers on trick shots, sharing a Hollywood apartment with Errol Flynn; giving secret lessons to Howard Hughes; and matching shots against Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. And Reed records them all while carefully transcribing the secrets of the most powerful swing in the history of golf. Through Austinâ��s wavering health and implausible storytelling, Reed has written a book that has the golf world buzzing and readers who savor heartwarming stories of unexpected friendships smiling.

By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in â��the zoneâ�� that professionals have learned to master.Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot. A different approach to golf instruction, this book shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings.From the Hardcover edition.

Golf Made Easy

Mike — Sun, 23 May 2010 18:04:40 +0000

Who needs another golf book? There are thousands of golf books already - full of swing thoughts we can't remember and words we can't understand, like "over the top" or "pronate." If you are a flat-belly, single-digit handicap put this book down right now - its not for you.But if you are a double-digit handicap, or if you are over 50, or if you have a pot belly, this book can really help you. It is full of easy-to-understand, practical tips to make you hit it longer and straighter, to score better and to enjoy your golf more.This book will clearly and simply explain how to drive better, play fairway shots easily, pitch and chip closer to the hole, get out of sand traps more surely, putt more accurately, and get more pleasure from your golf.So forget about squaring your club at the top of your backswing (where you can't see it) or keeping your wrists cocked (among the other 20 things to remember) or turning your hips (like a contortionist) and all the other impossible things that pros try to teach. All pros can play well, but hardly any have a clue about teaching golf.I'm much better at teaching golf than a clueless pro. So I can teach you golf much better, much simpler and much quicker than your golf pro, who can break par, but can't teach his way out of a paper bag.
