GOLF : PLAY THE GOLF DIGEST WAY
By Ron Kaspriske / Foreword by David Leadbetter
Contributions by Hank Haney, Butch Harmon, Jim McLean, Phil Mickelson, and Tom Watson
Universe is proud to publish in association with Golf Digest the definitive resource for coaching and playing golf at any level, as taught by today’s best instructors, coaches, and professional golfers.
More than six million golfers turn to the pages of Golf Digest for answers to their most perplexing golf questions and for tips on how to improve their game. Now, Golf Digest turns to its team of players, teachers, and advisors to compile the definitive instruction manual. This ultimate instruction book includes easy-to-follow advice and photos illustrating the skills players of all levels need to improve their game from
green to tee.
Chapters focus on specific skills—including practice tips and strategy—for putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, irons, fairway woods and hybrids, and drivers. As a bonus, there also are tips on fitness, equipment and the mental game. This book is written the way great instructors tell their students to learn the game: from green to tee, not the other way around.
This is not a beginner’s approach. It’s how good players review and re-vamp their games when things get off track. This is learning the Golf Digest way—no gimmicks—using a fundamental logic that somehow has escaped too many instructional books.
This indispensable reference book is fully illustrated with clear action-sequence photos of and tips from the
best players and instructors who have served as contributors throughout Golf Digest’s history. Among them:
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Butch Harmon, David Leadbetter, Phil Mickelson, Annika
Sorenstam, Rickie Fowler, Hank Haney, Lorena Ochoa, Stan Utley, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Dave
Stockton, Rick Smith, Paula Creamer, Ernie Els and Jim McLean.
