The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-26 Summary: One of the best golf stories ever ... If you like golf you must read this book, it's written in a superb manner! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: Compelling ... I adored this book. Managed to take a single practice round played six decades ago and turn it into a compelling story. I learned so much about the origins of golf and finished the book feeling the need to read a biography on Bing Crosby. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-23 Summary: Good Overview of Historical Event ... As the author notes, this match could never take place today. Two of the greatest golfers of all time in a "practice round" with the two top amateurs of the day. Beyond giving solid histories on each player, and even the two business men who concocted this event, Frost really excells at painting descriptions of the match -- hole by hole, shot by shot. Not only does he place the reader at the match with his portrayal of how it unfolded, but one can feel some level of the tension that must have engulfed the players and ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-20 Summary: Very Enjoyable Read ... The perfect vacation book. Great background on the four players involved, Venturi/Ward and Hogan/Nelson, and a fantastic description of Cypress. May have moved that golf course past Augusta as the place I'd most like to play. If you have any interest in the history of golf, this is a well written account about the secular shift from amateur to pro at golf's highest level, framed in the context of an extraordinary match play outing. A few entertaining descriptions from the Crosby Clambake thrown in as well. Easy, relaxing ...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

The writer becomes a mentor for you. This is a person you would like to know. You do come to know him as a friend and guide to a stress free approach to golf. ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | SHARPEN YOUR MIND AND SHINE IN YOUR PERFORMANCE IN THE GAME OF GOLF AND IN THE GAME OF LIFE W. Timothy Gallwey’s bestselling Inner Game books–with more than one million copies sold–have revolutionized the way we think about sports. As he did in his phenomenally successful The Inner Game of Tennis , Gallwey provides methods that can be applied to situations beyond the green. The Inner Game of Golf delivers strategies to achieve potential–both in the crucible of competition and in...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
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

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

[2] 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. This illustrated book explains the written words of the "pocket" version using photos, diagrams and cites on-point rulings from archives. Since this illustrated version is also USGA sanctioned and authored, it is based on the pocket-book official rules. This is NOT some third-party "interpretation." ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-26 Summary: Golf Rules Illustrated ... USGA golf rules can be very confusing.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-09-06 Summary: Stack and Tilt ... This book was extremely well written. It was very logically put together, easy to follow, and the pictures were excellent. I particularly liked the endorsements by the current touring pros who are using the Stack and Tilt. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-19 Summary: good book, good swing ... This is an excellent system for ball striking. Makes a person more consistent. It is not easy to learn, and there will be many topped or smothered shots, but it's worth the struggle. Book has detailed explanations and many pictures. Some instruction books tell you how to do things and let it go at that. This book also tells you how to correct your problems like pulling, pushing, etc. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-10 Summary: An easy to understand and follow GOLF SWING ... The book should be read in conjunction with the DVD set. They both have helped me a lot in gaining a repetitve golf swing. After 6 months of lessons at Golftec, I began to feel frustrated for knowing what the right things to do but I could not execute and the scores instead of going down, went up by 3 to 4 per 9 holes. . Then I read this book and watched their DVD, voila now I can FEEL the right move with backswing, then the right move for hitting pass the ball. Yesterday, I played 9 holes in the heat but was able ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-10 Summary: Kindle & DVD Review-Stack & Tilt Golf Method ... Both the Kindle book and DVD training information for the Stack and Tilt Golf Method are really effective. I have been working for several years to fix my golf swing which is dominated by an over the top, inside out swing that was not making good contact, hitting behind the ball, lacking power and control, etc. I was barely a 36 handicap index player! Then, I purchase both the Kindle Book and the DVD training information from Amazon.com. Today, really began to apply only the 1st training lesson that being making good ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | An in-depth, full-color, step-by-step guide to the new golf swing that has taken the PGA Tour by storm The traditional golf swing requires a level of coordination that few golfers have. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer spent a decade researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics to create...more
