Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-07 Summary: Golf for the Zen side of you. ... This is a great little book about the "inner" game of golf and what it really means. I enjoyed it and then donated it to my local library. --Craig ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-30 Summary: GREAT GOLF READ ... I'm currently half way through this book, and brother, let me tell you it's a great read. It's about golf and a fictional character named Shivas Irons-who is quickly becoming an icon in the golf world. If you golf, read this book. If you don't golf and don't understand why people golf-read this book. If you don't care, why are you reading this? I gotta go now and finish read Golf in the Kingdom before the movie comes out! ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-22 Summary: Inspired and Inspiring! ... It's been many years since I first read "Golf in the Kingdom" but I'm still trying to get other people to read it. Yes, it is ostensibly about golf, but it's really about the golfer's relationship to himself. When I read the book, I was an avid though struggling golfer - having a standing tee time at a particular Portland Oregon public golf course - Heron Lakes. The day after I finished reading the book, I met my usual golfing bud at the course first thing in the morning. We were teamed up with two singles and off ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Featuring further reflections by the author, this classic--and bestselling--tale of golf and mysticism reveals the possibilities for transcendence that reside in the human soul....more
[2] ... Review | Esalen Institute founder Michael Murphy's divine meditation on the royal and ancient game defied categorization when it was first published in 1972, and it still does. Instantly hailed as a classic, Golf in the Kingdom is an altogether unique confluence of fiction, philosophy, myth, mysticism, enchantment, and golf instruction. The central character is a wily Scotsman named Shivas Irons, a golf professional by vocation and a shaman by design, whom Murphy, as participant in his own novel, meets in 1956...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-21 Summary: If you love golf you must own this book ... Having read many many books in my pursuit of golf's holy grail I have to say that this one is the clear winner. I have done and tried it all. I have run across many very good books and teachers that for some reason cannot mate IT stick. Playing competitively I would see the cracks in their methods in tournament play and have to back to the beginning. Trust me, we all know what works on the range doesn't always work on the course. But if you want to really find out how you are doing go play competitively in your state ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-23 Summary: Very helpful golf help book ... I purchased this book for a school golf class, but found myself reading it even without required reading. Very helpful to beginners trying to improve without expensive lessons. (It can only help so much before a pro is necessary, but provides a great head start) ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-29 Summary: Simple sound golf instruction from the maestro, John Jacobs ... The early version of this book came out in the 1960s. Very little has changed in the fundamentals of golf since then. John Jacobs is simply the best at imparting the necessary knowledge effectively. Enjoy, as I have. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-26 Summary: If you could have only one golf book this would be the one. ... There are several really good golf books out there. But if I had to choose only one this would be it simply because it has all the instruction elements you need on which to build a solid swing and learn to play better golf. But more importantly is this that John Jacobs keeps it simple and to the point. Great book would recommend to any golfer especially those just starting out or struggling with consistency. ...more

6 Weeks to Winning Weekend Golf
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-19 Summary: Excellent! ... I recently retired and decided to learn to play golf. This book has been so helpful that I have read it twice. I don't know how valuable it would be for golfers with low handicaps, but for most of us just learning to play the game as well as golfers struggling to play bogey golf, the book is outstanding. As another viewer remarked, the book contains typos, but the typos were not distracting (and I'm a retired English teacher). For $1, you can't go wrong with this book. I would have paid much more! ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-22 Summary: Weekend Golfer ... Book was informative and helpful. I was a bit surprised and disappointed in the number of typographical errors in the book. But I guess for the price, I was able to read through the errors. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-26 Summary: Rest Golf Book Ever! ... 99 cents? This book is worth at least 10 times that. I'm a weekend golfer, not the club champion. This book explained what I needed to know to get a handle on my game and enjoy playing more. I really enjoyed the "Big Hole Putting" chapter. My game greatly improved in just 6 weeks exactly as the title implied. An easy read done in a quick, crisp style. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-30 Summary: John Purner's new book really improved my golf game. ... Everything I thought I knew about how to drive, chip or putt was wrong! "6 Weeks to Winning Weekend Golf" spells out 10 make- sense steps that will turn any 'duffer' into a golfing pro. John Purner may not be the "Sultan of Swat" but he is without doubt the "Socrates of Swing". Thankfully he took the time to write this book and luckily I read it. A round of golf is now the highlight of my week rather than "a good walk spoiled" as Mark Twain put it. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Mark Twain commented on golf by saying, "it is a good walk spoiled". He was frustrated by the game. Certainly there are days when "it is a good walk spoiled", thankfully there are moments when it is "a good life made better". This book is about the techniques that will make your walk better. How to putt, chip, drive how to aim, and most importantly how to think about each round of golf. Playing the game better will help you enjoy it more. The most valuable winning techniques that I have...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-09 Summary: A must have must do if you play golf ... If you play golf once a week or every day this book is a must read, especially if you are in the over 50 crowd and your range of motion has suffered from years of neglect, meaning stretching, weight training, fitness walking, biking etc. To jump out of the car and into the cart is an invitation for injury even if you are young and fit. It's just that the young and fit don't break as easily or quickly as the older and stiffer like myself. What I like about this book is that he covers all the aspects of how to play good ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-24 Summary: Got Golf Exercises? ... If you play golf and are looking to get in better shape to either improve your game or prevent imjuries, look no further, Golf Rx: A 15-Minute-a-Day Core Program for More Yards and Less Pain is just what the doctor ordered. In fact, it's written by a doctor. The book is divided up into distinct sections. There's a chapter on exercises to increase the air time and distance of your drives. There also is a chapter with warm-up exercises, another that has stretches you can do at each of the eighteen holes, and a cool-down ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-23 Summary: Wanna make a single digit handicap ... I bought this book to help me break the 11 handicap barrier I have been pushing for the last few months. Been focused on short game but know getting myself in better shape would also help. Am planning on using these over winter and see what the spring brings. Initial reading makes sense so am looking forward to using the suggestions. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Good exercises - but need an exercise ball for full effect ... Good exercises- but you need to buy an exercise ball as well -many of the exercises utilize it. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Now in paperback, the official physician to the PGA Tour shares his groundbreaking research on preventing back pain and adding more yards to your drives. It is estimated that half of all recreational golfers and one-third of all professional golfers suffer from some form of lower-back pain. Conventional wisdom suggests that the twisting nature of the golf swing is the sole culprit. But research conducted by sports-medicine specialist Vijay Vad, M.D., reveals that the swing is only one...more
