Timeless lessons
I picked this up to give my golf game a little boost and it didn't disappoint. Hogan simplifies many of the most essential elements of golf, including grip, stance, ball position, backswing, downswing, etc. All this info comes in a tight package and makes an excellent reference guide.

Back Bay Books, 2004

Beautiful, Poignant, Sad
I just finished The Lovely Bones, and then I cried for an hour. Now my face is poofy. The book is, of course, sad. However, it also has a beautiful image of heaven and a wonderful story of a family that ends up healed and whole after the death of their daughter. I was comforted by the way Susie could look down on her family and be near them, even make herself known to them a time or two. ...

The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down

25 reviews
Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2007

Great treatise on the chipping, pitching and sand shots
After reading Stan Utley's "The Art of Putting," I spent four months retooling my putting approach to great effect. I was really anxious to read his ideas about short game shot-making in this book. After four weeks of absorbing and practicing his ideas in this great little book, I'm a bigger Utley fan than ever. He explains his short game ideas very clearly and concisely here. As in his first ...

Excellent buy
I have been playing golf for 2 months (took lessons,pored over videos on internet,read many books including Hogan's,Hank Haney's,Leadbetter's, read golf magazines such as Golf Digest and Golf Tips) and I would say this book is one I take to the practice range. At the end of each practice session,I write down a list of what went right and what went wrong. I then flip through the section that ...

The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport

40 reviews
Carl Hiaasen

Knopf, 2008

A great read
As a "golfer" (and the quotes are necessary in the interest of truth), this is one of the funniest books ever written about this most confounding and frustrating sport. If you ever or never played the game, you'll enjoy it. If you've played a round and are ready to give up, but then remember the one or two respectable shots you hit, you'll relate to his story of returning to the game after a ...

The Art of Putting: The Revolutionary Feel-Based System for Improving Your Score

28 reviews
Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2006

Simple, natural and powerful!
First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this ...

Instinct Putting: Putt Your Best Using the Breakthrough, Science-Based Target Vision Putting Technique

The proven approach that guarantees results on the green by tapping the power of natural intuition— based on cutting-edge research Born out of the most popular Golf Magazine cover story of 2005, Instinct Putting begins with a crucial but counterintuitive premise: You should look at the hole, not at the ball, while putting. Golf-club technology has helped amateurs drive the ball farther than ever, but no amount of technology has managed ...

Golf is Not a Game of Perfect

Dr. Bob Rotella

Simon & Schuster, 1995

My golf game improved after reading this book
The saying that goes "golf is 90% mental" cannot be more true and revealing after you finish reading this book. Granted you have to have the physical ability and a few golf lessons under your belt to be able to put a good round of golf together, but what this book does is help one put aside, or dismiss, those negative thoughts that somehow show up in your mind just as you set up to hit the ball. ...

Dave Pelz's Putting Bible: The Complete Guide to Mastering the Green (Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series)

58 reviews
Dave Pelz

Doubleday, 2000

the guru
Dave Pelz is a scientist who has studied the art of putting. I don't know if reading this book will improve my putting; that has yet to be proven. The text is well written. There are abundant illustrations and the quality of the paper, the binding, the illustrations and photographs are excellent. This is not the kind of book one reads in an evening. There are practical exercises, and one must go ...

Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what counted. Well, posture and losing weight solved that problem. Had a completely different feeling problem. Went back after ...

The People He Knew
I am the author of Striking It Rich: Golf in the Kingdom with Generals, Patients and Pros This book has been reviewed a lot and the golf advice is worthy of mention but the best parts of this book were the stories about the people he met along the way: 1. The story or Morris williams, Jr. dieing in a plane crash before going out on tour. "I had to relate the tragic news to his mother and ...
