.Golf:: The Best Instruction Book Ever!
City Travel Guides > Books > Golf
by: Editors of Golf Magazine

October 23, 2007
This book is comprised of tips from the top instructors in the country. However, this is a more of an annual for the Golf Magazine by reproducing the 'tips' that were published from the prior year. The title does not live up to its hyper or its name.

It is organized well and the short bullet format and clear illustrations are good.

However, this is not a system upon which you should base your learning. Different 'tips' may not work for a particular style of swing.

If you are one who learns from 'tips' AND you don't subscribe to the magazine, get this book.

If you want to learn something from scratch or are a routine/average hacker, stay away. You should adopt any one of the dozens of ... Read More:

.Lost Balls: Great Holes, Tough Shots, and Bad Lies
City Travel Guides > Books > Golf
by: Charles Lindsay

May 04, 2005
The photographs are amazing. They are witty and visually interesting. I gave it to my grandfather for his birthday and it was a huge hit. The book got passed around and everyone enjoyed it. I went back and bought a second copy for myself. It is the perfect coffee table book.

.The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport
City Travel Guides > Books > Golf
by: Carl Hiaasen

May 06, 2008
Hiassen's recollections of golf with his father and golf with his young son struck a nostalgic chord. It seems that he knew he was being a real pain sometimes with his dad but at this point he cherishes the memory of Sundays playing golf with dad--- and then he enjoys watching his own son learn the game. It brought a lump to my throat. This book brought a number of audible chuckles too, particularily his purchase of all those weird golf "aids" that we always see in the back of golf magazines.
Play on!

.Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game
City Travel Guides > Books > Golf
by: Joseph Parent

May 14, 2002
After being frustrated with myself on the golf course during the past few months I was beginning to wonder if I might stop playing.I have a handicap of 19 and was really struggling to play to it.Once I had a bad hole I would get down on myself and the whole thing would snowball.
After reading Zen Golf and putting into practice some of the techniques I have played two lots of 9 hole stableford competitions and had 23+25 points.
I have played 2 rounds of 18 holes in competition.The first round of our club championship at 85-19-66 (par is 69).In our annual men's tournament 83-19-64.During these rounds I have only had one 7 and nothing higher.
Most importantly I have actually been enjoying myself.
I am certain this booked has ... Read More:
