Technical Golf

- Friday, 10 December, 2010

Fabulous book No II - The World's best, such as last week's winners Lee Westwood and Graham McDowell are incredible players - the gulf between those you watch on the TV and what ordinary sport-people can do is enormous, even accounting for Golf?s unique handicapping system.

These golfers hit it further and better than a fifteen or five handicapper because they play and practice every day and they are physically able to complete the motion of a swing maximising their structural abilities, again and again.

There are two very different books available for your Christmas stocking or to spend those book tokens you receive, help that will improve your skills and your ability to actually make the most of what you physically can do. And both can take you onwards and upwards to more consistency and then even better use of the 'machine' that you are, whatever shape and size you may be. This article is about Techncial Golf -

'From Tee to Green', from Today's Golfer, is a more than useful book for all standards of golfer. It includes many of the 'basics', such as the why and how you should grip the golf club and how to create the perfect set-up.

Those very low handicappers who can hit the ball similar to a professional do often ignore these most simple needs because they have the talents to compensate for any problems caused and what is most impressive about 'From tee to Green' is that it includes the vast majority all the 'tricks' that get a player from a mid-handicap down to single figures and then to the magic of five and below.

It's the mimicking or analogies of actions such as hitting a sheet or swinging with a garden fork which are brilliantly drawn to show why a 'trick' will give results that can make the better player give books such as this a miss but true to its editorial style, Today's golfer shows any golfer a 'warts and all' illustration of what golf is like before it gets smooth and effortless. There are maybe twenty or more of the 158 pages where a problem which is only found in higher handicap swings is there perfectly shown - and with how to start the process of fixing it. The elite who are in anyway snobbish do ignore great other advice - don?t make that mistake because any golfer will find more than a nugget or two of handicap reducing, match winning or just long driving success in 'From Tee to Green'.

'From Tee to Green' by Today's Golfer is priced £ 9.99 and available from all good bookstores and online retailers
