Golf Books

This book is a classic. It's the finest example of life-as-a-golf-game literature as I've ever seen. Bravo! And fore!

This is a book about the do's and don'ts of behaviour on the golf course and in the clubhouse. There is guidance for every situation you could imagine.

This tiny book fits nicely into a leather cover so you can keep it in your golf bag.

"There can be few things more irritating, and at times even infuritating, for a golfer than to find his game ruined by thougtless and ignorant behavior by other players on the course."

Simple things like picking up your broken tee sound logical, but then again there are still people who toss trash from their cars. So, you just never know.

Very Matter-of-Fact style. This is just what
is expected.

Letting faster players move ahead of your group, being aware of time-saving-tips (like removing gloves while walking) will keep the game moving smoothly along.

The section on taking care of the course was informative. Simple things like raking away footprints helps the next golfer if their golf ball happens to rest in the exact spot where you just walked.

Helpful tips like protecting your set of golf clubs while travelling abroad and taking the proper clothes for various
weather conditions helps to protect you and your
investment.

~The Rebecca Review

This is by far the best rule book I have seen. Finding the answer to my rules questions is very quick & the answers are easy to understand.

Imagine the rumpus if Dwight Eisenhower was bowling when some international calamity cropped up. In his two terms as president ... spanning 1953 to 1961 ... he was usually on the golf course when they did. Better to receive heavy news in spikes than in three-tone bowling shoes.

In Catherine Lewis' revealing new book, "Don't Ask What I Shot: How Eisenhower's Love of Golf Helped Shape 1950's America," the Atlanta-based golf historian and Kennesaw State University professor tells an intimate story about a president's public obsession ... an obsession so passionate that at times you wonder if he cared what America thought about how he spent his time in office, and out of it. Eisenhower cared what America thought. Golf addicts, though, can't help themselves.

The 1950s was a time when an average American didn't know what their president was doing every minute. We do today, whether we like it or not, and seeing presidents in jogging togs or delivering insignificant speeches they've been pressured to deliver just ain't that inspiring. Eisenhower played golf nearly eight hundred times while he was in office. He was the first president to have a putting green installed on the grounds of the White House. It wasn't his idea ... it was the USGA's ... but Eisenhower saw its completion a little over a year after he was sworn in the first time. Eisenhower played at the nation's most exclusive golf and country clubs. Most of the time he was seen, and even photographed, with a golf club in his hand. He recuperated from heart attacks by playing golf. He had some golf pals named Snead and Hogan. Jones. Like everyone else he snuck out of the office to whack nuts ... even though it was the oval one ... and amazingly he always came back to an afternoon and evening of appointments less agitated. He was already a member of Augusta National Golf Club before his first term and made twenty-nine trips to his club during his two terms, sporting a handicap between 14 and 18. He broke 80 four times in his eight years as president. He paid dues to Augusta National Golf Club like every other member. He had a big pine tree on the 17th hole named after him. A cabin, too. His addiction was constantly fueled.

Lewis eloquently tells us that America's attitude toward their golf nut president was positive when things were swell. During his presidency, the birth control pill was introduced. Polyester was invented. Sputnik got him feeling competitive. He still did something he loved ... a lot ... when things weren't so swell in 1950's America, but it wasn't scandalous. Chasing a golf ball wasn't impeachable. But his magnificent addiction made more Americans aware of the sport, however ambivalent they were about why a man chases a golf ball. Then Arnold Palmer came along and gave the sport a working man's face ... and Eisenhower and Palmer became good friends. The president proved you didn't have to be good at golf to enjoy it. You really didn't have to know what he shot, because in this fascinating book you learn that American presidents do something right from time to time, even if it's way over par.

This book is great even for people that don't really enjoy golf. To get all of Schillerstrom's comics in one book is like a dream for me, since that was the most exciting part about reading Golfweek.

Drive It!: A Golfer's Guide To Greater Distance & Control With The Toughest Club In The Bag by NCAA championship golfer Frank Groves is a thoroughly "player friendly" golf guide that especially focuses on how to achieve longer distances and greater accuracy with the driver club. Extensive descriptions, instructions, black-and-white photographs, and subtle dissections of optimum movements are capped off with a spectrum of recommended exercises specifically designed for daily flexibility. Drive It! an outstanding do-it-yourself instructional resource and highly recommended for any and all dedicated golfers seeking to improve their playing skills.

For how closely golf is followed by the golf media and avid fans, not many details are known about the burgeoning golf academies. Thanks to access granted by David Leadbetter and several families, author Kevin Cook is able to shed light on the nearly invisible world of high-powered, test tube, uberphenom golf.

The book offers more insight into the lives of Ty Tryon, Michelle Wie, Sean O'Hair, and the next wave of top juniors moving on to professional golf like the Lendl sisters or Peter Uihlein. You will also be treated to Cook's theory on the path all tournament golfers should take in order to eliminate the mistakes that could derail their promising careers. To do this, "Driven" not only looks at junior golf, but also the careers of Eldrick Woods, Nick Faldo, and Nick Price.

Well researched, well organized, and well written, I think you'll enjoy "Driven".

Great story about competitive carriage driving...one woman's triumph and heartbreak. If you are at all interested in pursuing this sport, you should read this book FIRST.

This book took me from a rank beginner to a accomplished player..... I couldn't have made it without this book. A must read!!!!!
