Golf for Seniors
Author: Bob Charles
Publisher: Pelican Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781565541115
Category : Golf
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Bob Charles is today's premiere senior golfer. He claims age doesn't matter in golfing, but "getting the basics right and practicing them is essential." In this unique volume, Mr. Charles gives tips for seasoned golfers and those players who have taken up the game in their later years. In addition to specifically targeting seniors, it also caters to both left-handed and right-handed players; from 1963 until 2003, Mr. Charles held the record as the only left-handed golfer ever to have won a major title. Mr. Charles' philosophy is to start simple, and that is exactly what he does. Beginning with the proper way to grip the club--possibly the most important aspect of the game--the reader is shown in full color photographs both the correct and incorrect manner to stand, swing, pitch, chip, and putt. Increasing in difficulty through progression, the book contains chapters on hard shots, faults, bunker shots, sand traps, tactics, and practice. Each chapter includes senior-specific instructions and highlighted notes of interest. One of the most valuable features for the reader is the section on the mental game in which Mr. Charles emphasizes that positive thinking is as important as a powerful swing. The final chapter of the book includes tips for choosing the best equipment. A diagram that shows flight and distance using various clubs will be particularly helpful in determining which club is the most appropriate choice for a particular shot. Golf for Seniors also contains a glossary to help the reader learn typical golfing terminology. As Gary Player acknowledges, "Every golfer will take away something positive from this edition."

Senior Golf
Author: Robert Faber
Publisher: iUniverse

Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
After all those decades of work and responsibility, retirement should be a welcome period of rest and relaxation, a time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Unfortunately, that "rest and relaxation" often turns out to be more a burden than a blessing. Unprepared for the vast amount of idle time at their disposal, too many retirees find themselves without direction, without purpose, without pleasure. Author Robert Faber urges retirees to use golf as therapy, proposing the game--with its competitive stimulation and social opportunities--as a fulfilling alternative to excessive unstructured leisure time. With the assistance of retired University of Michigan golf coach Tom Simon, Faber provides technical instructions specially tailored to the physical limitations of senior amateur golfers. With humor and pertinent insights into the special needs of seniors, Senior Golf: It Takes Balls To Retire offers information on the origins of the game, its equipment, its rules, and the demographics of those who pursue it. Senior Golf will help you look at retirement not as the end of employment, but as the beginning of life's second phase.

A Difficult Par
Author: James R. Hansen
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1592409393
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
The definitive account of modern golf’s foremost architect from the New York Times bestselling author of First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong Robert Trent Jones was the most prolific and influential golf course architect of the twentieth century and became the archetypical modern golf course designer. Jones spread the gospel of golf by designing courses in forty-two US states and twenty-eight countries. Twenty U.S. Opens, America’s national championship, have been contested on Jones-designed courses. New York Times bestselling biographer James R. Hansen, author of First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, recounts how an English immigrant boy arrived in upstate New York in 1912, just as golf was emerging as a popular pastime in America. Jones excelled as a golfer, earning admission to Cornell University, whose faculty consented to a curriculum tailored to teach him the knowledge needed to design golf courses. Cornell provided the springboard for an act of self-invention that propelled Jones from obscurity to worldwide fame. Jones believed that every hole should be “a difficult par but an easy bogey.” As gifted as he was at golf design, Jones was equally skilled as a salesman, promoter, and entrepreneur. Golf Digest’s annual rankings of the 100 Greatest Golf Courses have regularly featured about fifty Jones designs, paving the path for his two sons, Robert Jr., and Rees, whose work would carry on their father’s tradition. Hansen examines Jones’s legacy in all its complexity and influence, including the fraternal rivalry of Jones’s distinguished sons.
