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.

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.
