From the editor

Only 20 percent of beginning golfers stick with the game until they grow to love it. The other 80 percent struggle with perfecting their shot in narrow practice ranges before challenging themselves to a round of golf, only to get a terrible score, which leads them to give up the game. It was the same for me. After shooting 150 on my first round, I did many frustrating sessions at various practice ranges, but still didn’t improve. It was heartbreaking to watch everyone around me doing so well. However, reading the methods presented in this book made me feel that even somebody like me could improve!

The abundance of useful knowledge in this book is perfect for players in a slump or those who teach other players. While I was working on this book, I couldn’t keep from thinking that if improving your golf game could be this much fun and this simple, the population of golfers is sure to grow. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy.
