FINALLY: THE GOLF SWING'S SIMPLE SECRET - A revolutionary method proved for the weekend golfer to significantly improve distance and accuracy from day one
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-29 Summary: The best money you will ever spend in a golf book ... This small honest book is a jewel. The author has been able to identify and provide easy fixings for 3 elements of the swing that made a great difference for me. Upper arms, shoulder rotation, and lag. The title is more ambitious than the book. The best money ever spent in golf. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-22 Summary: Not quite there yet ... I took the instruction to the range, but teeing off with my three wood, I found this swing produced a pretty severe hook. My driver was better, long and high with a draw. Maybe Mr. Tamayo felt the need to keep the text within some range (this would have been better achieved by editing the rationale behind some of his teaching ), but I think a chapter on troubleshooting the swing would be highly welcomed. ...more

I've been playing golf for more than 15 years and have read my share of golf books who promise better distance better this better that... But this book I found to be different. It is really for the golfer who doesn't have anytime to practice day in and day out but want to have a fundamentally sound swing. He explains the technicalities for formalities just so that the reader knows that he has thoroughly made his research but the best part is he can breakdown the key moves that matter in the swing so you don't have ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-14 Summary: Fantastic! ... I have been playing golf for 40 years, since I was 10 years old. Recently turning 50, I have had more frustrations lately than I can deal with. I've gone from an 8 handicap to a 13 handicap, and thought about giving up the game. But since I am in the golf business, that would be difficult to do. I have read literally dozens of golf books, and spent thousands on lessons. I just finished this fantastic book in less than 24 hours, and I know this is the answer. I haven't even practiced the drills, but I know that this ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Have you ever wondered why the average handicap on the USGA has barely improved in the last 20 years? The answer is very simple: a) The Golf Swing is very difficult to understand and to perform. b) The average weekend golfer would love to improve but doesn´t have the time or the interest to spend long hours practicing. After studying the golf swing for over 25 years, JF Tamayo has developed a revolutionary method proved for the weekend golfer of any level to significantly improve distance...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-31 Summary: 2 Tips to make Ben Hogan's swing easier to accomplish ... This is without a doubt the only golf book you should read. Every tip and every explanation is a revelation. From the grip pointing at your chin and right ear, to your stance, the takeaway, and the downswing, everything makes sense. Here are two other tips to make Mr Hogan's swing easier to accomplish: 1. INITIATE YOUR TAKEAWAY WITH YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER! PULL IT BACK AND UP To match the ball-to-shoulder plane and you won't believe how easy it is to make a complete shoulder turn, tilted at the ball with your left arm ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-20 Summary: excellence in simplicity ... i am a beginner golfer who had a consistent, horrible, push slice (yes, both). i've straightened out my shots, and generate more power as a result of just gripping, standing, and swinging properly. it is titled five lessons but it really is only four lessons; grip, posture, backswing, downswing. chapter 5 is a short review. the value of the knowledge here is immense, particularly if you attempt to be sure that you are following his main points reasonably close to the letter. maybe i am just a book learner, but i read ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | You can shoot in the 70's! Ben Hogan has long believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently -- and here, with Herbert Warren Wind, and artist Anthony Ravielli, he tells you, step by step, just how to go about it. The greatest golfer of our generation has distilled his experience as teacher, player, and observer of golf into a series of richly illustrated "visual instructions" that not only can improve your game and lower your...more
[2] ... Review | Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library....more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-28 Summary: Self awareness is the path to par ... For many people, golf is a game of "could've, would've, should've." I could've hit that shot better. I would've hit that shot better if I had done this or that. I should've hit that shot better. Normally, rational people seem to develop unrealistic expectations upon arrival at the golf course. Instead of having fun, they put pressure on themselves to make a certain shot or achieve a particular score. If that doesn't happen, frustration and self-doubt set in. A normally relaxing game becomes a test of self worth. Attempts ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-07 Summary: Buy this Book - Do Not Buy the Kindle Edition! ... The content of this book is 5 stars and is well described by the other reviewers. However there is a problem with the Kindle edition. On location 3820 there is a critical table of information. 1/3 of the table is truncated and is not visible - even if the font is reduced to the smallest size. Therefore I strongly suggest you do not purchase the Kindle Edition and stick to the paper version. I have been very pleased with my Kindle to date. Hopefully Amazon will consider re-digitizing the book. Of course it's always ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-04-14 Summary: A Good Update to The Original ... I bought the original version quite a while ago and wanted to revisit the topic, so I bought this revised edition. The inner game principles and exercises remain valid, but are enhanced by apporpriate connection to technical teaching. The simple act of paying attention in various ways to the various aspects of the game does actually enhance the enjoyment of the game -- at least for me. One can get over-driven to be technically correct and results focused and forget the simple pleasure of the game. So far I am only ...more

[2] ... Review | Long before Dr. Bob Rotella made tweaking a golfer's head as important as tweaking his swing, Tim Gallwey, who knew virtually nothing about the mechanics of the game when he penned the first edition of this visionary work, understood that even the best technique collapses when the mind cracks under the game's pressure. Gallwey's ultimate insight into the game was that a golfer's mind is a golfer's worst enemy; too much thinking only gets in the way. The new edition of this groundbreaking instructional...more
How I Play Golf
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-12 Summary: Golfers will enjoy this book ... I enjoyed listening to Tiger Woods` "How I Play Golf". My husband is the golfer in the family and I got this book for him. I started listening to it and was so wrapped up in the book that I finished it before he began it. Tiger is an exceptional player. In this book, he explains many different aspects of how he plays the game. His father taught him to play when he was a young boy. He learned to play in the dark which helped him win one amazing tournament. The book covers a lot of information such as: how to have a ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-29 Summary: Great Golf Instruction Book ... This book is a must for any golfer wishing to improve his/her game. It is clearly written with great sequential pictures and illustrations. It explains many of the fundamentals in an easy to understand manner. Based on the information in the book, I changed my grip and technique for putting and I am much more consistent. I also changed my grip and swing technique for my drives with much better results. With some practice over the past month using the techniques from this book, I've moved from a 90's to 80's golfer. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-18 Summary: Thoroughly enjoying this audiobook... ... Really good car "read." It's funny because the narrator sort of sounds like Tiger too... Really good visualization tool, and the PDF's are pretty helpful in concert with the audio. Couldn't help but laugh, though, when Tiger states, "I like to have fun" when talking about celebrating after a win. ...more

[2] ... Review | No athlete has changed his sport the way Tiger Woods has transformed the world of golf. The Tiger phenomenon has created a new legion of golfers, seduced by Woods's almost effortless mastery of this most difficult game. In How I Play Golf Woods reveals the many facets of his game and offers a plethora of tips and advice aimed at all levels of play. Unlike most golf guides, and perhaps somewhat surprising from a player best known for his long game, How I Play Golf begins with the short game--putting,...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-23 Summary: The book has become my bible ... The instruction in this book is excellent. Jack breaks down his golf swing into terms that make it easy to follow. I've played gold for over 40 years and it wasn't until I read his book that I really learned how to swing a golf club properly which has resulted in my hitting the ball consistently and effectively. I first got the book from the library and then purchased it so that I could "highlight" the important points and keep it as a reminder of what to do when I "fell off the wagon! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-26 Summary: Great Golf Booik ... I learned more in the 1st 3 chapters than I learned from any lesson. And the chapter on what I call "Golf Speak" explained all the hook, slice, fade etc. Great book for beginner or advanced golfer. He talks my language. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-20 Summary: Before Tigermania there was this guy named Jack... ... And his book is an excellent read for anyone who plays the game. Jack shares an awful lot of what made him the greatest golfer of his time (and I'm still not convinced of all time). Having owned the original, the revised version is even better. This book is a must for any golfer's library. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-04-14 Summary: Great insights, but not an easy book for golf beginners ... Jack does a great job in going through his swing, and it provides quite some interesting and thought-provoking suggestions on why he did things a certain way. Nevertheless, the book is quite long to read, and in my opinion, requires already some understanding about how a golf swing works. For this, I would suggest golf newcomers to start with Ben Hogan's "Five lessons" first. Building on that one, Jack's book offers an array of options to adapt and improve your swing, doubtless. ...more
