Coaching Golf Successfully

David Morgan - Thursday, 9 December, 2004

By Bill Madonna – a specialist book from Human Kinetics. 20 000 coaches for 300 000 young golfers is the background to this book, a complete guide, actually the official training manual for the National Association of Golf Coaches and Educators (in the US), a book written by the man who started the organization, Bill Madonna.

A manual such as this has to provide every detail of on every subject that could be involved in the development of young people. This book however avoids the political correctness that has engulfed the UK in setting standards and procedures for ensuring that children are safe and have the best possible help within a sport.

You could virtually be someone who has no knowledge of golf, such is the precision and the explanation of everything about the game to go together with how to build communication throughout the coaching process and for all the opportunities that should be taken to complete a programme.

Madonna has to be complemented on his approach to firstly organising the Association and then to providing a book such as this which has 100% more chance of being read and kept easily available than a manual in binder form. For anyone who works with developing Junior Golf, this book is common sense as a must buy.

Coaching Golf Successfully is available from all good books shops and from www.humankinetics.com
