Customer Reviews
Thumbs down
I can sum up this what this book preaches in 3 points: 1.) practice what you're not good at. 2.) Driving the ball longer helps your score. 3.) hitting approach shots (any shot that doesn't use a driver, putter, or wedge) closer to the hole helps your score. 3.) spend the majority of your time on the practice green putting from 8 to 11ft.
Nothing groundbreaking or what any golfer doesn't already know. DEFINITELY not worth the read.
Worth the read.
Sorry, I've got to counter the critical review below. I read a ton of golf books, 6 so far this year. I thought this was a great read. This book uses science to contradict many long held theories of golf. Will it make you a better golfer? I dunno, but it has changed my practice habits, and strategy on the course. My scores are lower for starting the season than they've ever been. I give this book some of the credit.
