A golf instruction book written by Graham Hawkings, PGA Advanced
Golf Coach with over thirty years of experience of teaching all
standards of player, from the complete beginner to the elite
competitor. The book takes you on a journey in which you will learn
how to maximise your own personal strengths, at the same time as
giving you the necessary information you need to improve you
weaknesses. The basis of the book is that we all have what Graham
calls our own individual "DEFAULT GOLF SWING" this is the one which
we were born with, unfortunately very rarely is this the method
that will allow us to reach our optimum performance level. However
what our DEFAULT SWING provides us with is a framework on which we
can with one or maybe a number of tweaks allow us to capitalise on
our natural skills. Using tried and tested methods DEFAULT GOLF
offers the reader in plain and easily understood language the
opportunity to maximise their potential by travelling along a
structured route. It begins in Part one with a brief explanation of
the impact that the golf clubhead has on the flight that the golf
ball will take, but the book never deviates from its initial theme
that a golfers performance is totally their own responsibility. No
one method is preferred to another, the reader is encouraged to go
out and explore various options. Like all good teachers Graham
tells you where you need to look to find improvement but he doesn't
necessarily tell you what to see.

Success, failure, heroism, stupidity, talent, skulduggery - Upton
Park has seen it all. If supporting his club for fifty years has
taught Brian Williams one thing it's that football fans defi nitely
need a sense of humour - how else would they cope with the trials
and tribulations that are part and parcel of cheering on their
team? In this frank and funny take on the travails of a die-hard
football supporter, Williams takes a nostalgic look back at some of
the great players, great triumphs and great calamities that have
marked West Ham's time at Upton Park, exploring the club's
influence on its fans, the East End and football as a whole over
the course of a lifetime. A Fever Pitch for the Premier League
generation, Nearly Reach the Sky is an anecdotal journey through
the seminal goals, games, fouls and finals, told with all the
comedy, tragedy and irrationality fans of any team will recognise.
This is a witty, fond, passionate and poignant tribute to the end
of an era at Upton Park, as well as a universal meditation on the
perks and perils of football fandom.
Cheslin roared with happiness as the final whistle blew in Yokohama. They were champions! Later, as his captain lifted the 2019 Rugby World Cup trophy into the air, he felt prouder than he'd ever been before - of himself, his team and his country.
Cheslin Kolbe tells the story of a kid from Kraaifontein, Cape Town, whose talent took him to international sports stardom, first to Toulouse, France, and eventually to the call-up that would change his life forever: to play for the Springbok 2019 World Cup squad. It's the heartwarming story of a small player with a big heart whose signature sidestep helped the Springboks win the World Cup trophy for South Africa.
Cheslin Kolbe is part of the "Road to Glory" series, which covers some of South Africa's sporting legends as they set out on their journeys to becoming national and international stars.
Surprisingly, perhaps, cricket is a game rich in international
history, sporting characters and, on occasions, controversy. Over
his long career as a cricket commentator and journalist Ralph
Dellor has met some of the greatest exponents of the "summer" game.
In the 1990s he conducted a series of face-to-face taped interviews
with famous cricketers past and present. Along with Stephen Lamb,
his fellow sports journalist and business partner, he has edited
and annotated the interviews so they are put into context of time
and place. Each chapter is a classic piece of cricketing history
and insight into the legends and lore of the game. Featuring such
names as Denis Compton, Brian Statham and Cyril Washbrook.
