Book Description
"Safe in the locker room on the nineteenth Green the Oldest Member plays the game as he has seen it and tells the stories of the stormed-tossed lives of other and younger members of the club whom he has watched while they dug grim divots out of the shrinking turf. He has laid bare the comedy of bunkers and traps--the voiceless tragedy of water hazards and thickets and out of bounds, as well as slices in the rough. From his sheltered position in the clubhouse at Squashy Valley he expounds the primary rules of professional instructors and Greens' Committees: Keep your eye on the Ball! Replace the divots! and, above all, gives splendid examples of what constitutes perfect golfing courtesy."--Dust jacket.

Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans and Chili Dips
Author: Glen Waggoner
Publisher: Avon Books
ISBN: 9780380729692
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
For all golfers, there is a dividing line that separates life into two disparate worlds: the world that can only be dreamed about, that of the one-putting, three-hundred-yard-driving, sub-par-shooting professional; and the world of golfing reality, that of the club-throwing, four-putting, double-bogeying hacker. Is there a man brave enough to straddle both worlds? Someone willing to spend time with Jack Nicklaus and play a course in northern England, where you have to hit a perfect drive in one hole or wind up in a corral hitting next to a bull? Someone who's willing to analyze the top players in the game and confess to tossing a whole set of clubs right smack-dab into the middle of a water hazard? Luckily for all golfing fans, there is such a man, Glen Waggoner, whose devotion to - and terror of - the game of golf is wonderfully detailed in Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans, and Chili Dips. The first half of the book - the Front Nine - is all about Waggoner's life on the pro tour as a reporter and observer. He learnedly discusses the practice habits of the top pros; meets his idol, Arnold Palmer; discusses the unbelievably lucrative business of modern-day golf; gives us insight into the mind-set of top pros like Fred Couples and Mark Calcavecchia; predicts who will be the next Palmer/Nicklaus/Watson-type dominant golfer. The Back Nine is the personal life of a hacker. Here, Waggoner talks about the fine art of club-throwing. He discloses terrifying secrets of sand traps that even Lawrence of Arabia couldn't get out of. He goes to golf school, taking lessons from the world's greatest golf teacher. He plays St. Andrews - and the caddy is still snickering. Most of all, Glen Waggoner is atypical golfer - which means he loves the game more than he loves breathing. That love comes through with such humor, such affection, and such quirky insight that Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans, and Chili Dips is bound to become a golf classic.

The Impact Zone
Author: Bobby Clampett
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429917180
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Every golfer can improve their game using the instructions in The Impact Zone by Bobby Clampett "one of the most knowledgeable golfing minds in the game." —Tom Lehman, British Open Champion Impact has long been called golf's "moment of truth," and great golfers have spent countless hours working on their swings trying to upgrade their impact dynamics as the golf club approaches, contacts, then swings through the ball. For the first time, with The Impact Zone, golfers will have a book that focuses their attention on the very same region of the swing on which professional golfers have always concentrated. The Impact Zone is a unique instructional guide in that everything in it either focuses on or applies to improving a golfer's understanding and execution of impact. Here, acclaimed professional golfer Bobby Clampett concludes that the overwhelming bias and convention of today's contemporary teaching environment is to value swing styles over swing dynamics, and in so doing, the overwhelming majority of golf teachers miss the boat in terms of teaching the game effectively. Ultimately this emphasis on swing style comes at the expense of helping golfers to develop sound swing dynamics, which are the real keys to consistent ball striking and better golf. With the help of CBS's Swing Vision high-speed camera—using images from many of the game's greatest contemporary players (including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Sergio Garcia, and more)—The Impact Zone takes an unprecedented look at the most important six inches in golf, those that immediately precede, contain, and follow impact. To further demonstrate these principles, Clampett presents photos and drills that convey the five essential dynamics golfers need to produce and reproduce solid impact. Throughout these instructional pages, Bobby Clampett—teamed with veteran golf writer Andy Brumer—relays his own personal story of straying from swing dynamics and how he found his way back. He recalls memorable stories from the Tour, blending innovative instruction with his colorful, engaging anecdotes. Clampett and Brumer create an essential instructional guide with clear, concise advice—on creating great swing dynamics through the impact zone—the universally acknowledged key to more consistent and better golf.
