It's true that players often sacrifice power for accuracy. It's also true that power players are often inaccurate. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Learn how to swing freely -- "no matter how hard you want to swing" -- and just HIT IT HARD
In the 1950's, Ben Hogan was recognized as the premier golfer by the golfing community, idolized as the best ball striker and an inspiration to all golfers for many reasons. He has traditionally been portrayed as a person who guarded his privacy and this novel intends to show another side of his personality. At some stage of his career, every professional golfer has tried to emulate Ben Hogan, either his work habits, intensity, knowledge of the game and swing mechanics, or 'his secret'. This novel imagines what would have happened if Ben Hogan had a protege.
"Fine Tuning the Golf Swing with PGA Golf Professional John "Jack" Henry Saffold" I may have played this game for quite sometime now but that does not mean that I am properly executing my golf swing for my self and for my game. Not until I have, actually, visually translated everything that I have read, learned, applied and experimented on about the golf swing, that I have begun to understand which type of golf swing works for me. I encourage you to try the "fine tuning tips" I have included in this book. They may just work for your golf swing and enhance your enjoyment of the game And why it may work this time? Albert Einstein, once wrote: That is the key to a creative life and to any sport. And it is
very much applicable to the golf swing. Much like a visual artist,
we must start to learn how to maximize the use of the "third eye."
The "third eye" is what Einstein calls imagination. In this book,
we will very lightly touch on the basics of the golf swing which
most of you already know but will proceed right away to how we can
use our imagination in executing the proper golf swing. "Introduction by "I met Glenn Bautista at the Hillcrest Golf Club in Alvin, Texas, in 2011 and he immediately became part of the group. Glenn asked for golf lessons, I readily agreed. Right away, as we started, I noticed he possessed a sense of humor and showed a great ability to grasp and understand the golf swing as I presented it to him." "We worked through grip, posture and balance and, then, the full swing to balance. We covered putting, chipping and pitching the ball. We talked about the philosophy of the game and the point of taking the "Practice Swing" from the practice area to the course." "Glenn's book contains a lot of procedural information and I
very much enjoyed reading it. I hope it will widen your
understanding of golf from a visual artist's perception. To PREVIEW this book, go to: www.createspace.com/Preview/1097786
There are many instructional books about golf. There are many inspirational books about golf. I have not added to this mess. I have tried to address the vast majority of golfers, the mediocre players that continue to play lousy golf despite all the efforts to instruct and inspire them. There is no attempt to add new techniques or thoughts that will elevate the lousy golfer to the sparse ranks of the accomplished golfer. There is an effort to make golf a little more fun and the nineteenth hole a more significant part of the game. I couldn't pass up poking a little fun at a lot of others as well. I know little about playing accomplished golf. Few do. I do know how to play lousy golf. Professional golf is a sport and it's played by talented athletes just like any other sport. Other professional sports depend on paying spectators, many of which have never even played the game. Golf may have spectators, but mostly it's got a bunch of hackers buying expensive equipment and paying green fees to maintain the courses for those few that actually know how to play golf. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It's just the nature of the game. It's been that way for hundreds of years and I expect it will go on for hundreds more. Through some warped sense of logic I've come to believe it takes a lousy golfer to inspire pathetic golfers. Good golfers know little about playing lousy golf. Most folks just don't know what to do with the advice they give. Golf's frustrating enough as it is. Golfers are constantly bombarded by game improvement gizmos and instructional material to improve their game. The goal is to reach your potential. I don't think there has ever been a golfer that thought they had reached their potential. It's a disease. The cure would be constant improvement. Maybe it's time to work on the symptoms; those sinking feelings after your usual lousy score, or the trauma of returning to normal after one of those rare exceptional rounds. Golf's a good game, really. Learn to enjoy it. Golf life can be good for the lousy golfer. You get to remember the feel and sight of a well struck ball. The accomplished golfer only gets to remember those that aren't stuck well. You can celebrate at the nineteenth hole remembering the few highlights of your golf round. The good golfers just get to cry in their beer over the few lost strokes that shouldn't have been. Best of all, the lousy golfer gets to win just as many matches as the good golfer. Golf has handicaps. It's a strange thing. You can win on the score card while getting your clock cleaned on the course. I guess that's just the concession the good folks had to make so they'd have somewhere to play. It's no wonder they stick to themselves.
