Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-02 Summary: The Match ... A compelling story about a Golf Match set up by 2 friends in the early days of the Crosby Clam Bake. It makes you wish you could have been there to witness that much talent going at it in a best ball team format. Being around golf for my entire life, I had never heard about this match. It tells a lot about the match itself and describes Golf in the days of Hogan and Nelson. The match had Nelson and Hogan playing against 2 amatuers (Venturi & Harvey Ward). A lot of pride was at stake and the writing is very well done. ...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

It is estimated that half of all recreational golfers and one-third of all professional golfers suffer from some form of lower-back pain.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-19 Summary: If you play golf - this is the book! ... This illustrated version is essential to fully understand the rules of golf. The standard little rule book is interesting; this version is everything! You need to be a Philadelphia lawyer to understand the little USGA book.

How I Play Golf
Feature: ... Hard Cover ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-06 Summary: Tiger Woods book ... I've only read a couple of chapters but from that sample the book is very good. The book is an easy read- informative without being technical and the right amount of anecdote is mixed in. The only negative I can find so far is the actual writing style. After hearing him talk & realizing his age at the time of publication the words don't seem to be his voice. It seems that editors style is most prevalent. It's not a problem once you get used to it though it was a disappointment at first. ...more

A 'Must Have' if you are a golfer. ...more
