This book will revolutionize the way you see and learn the golf swing Did it ever occur to you that a swing plane doesn't even exist? Do you know that Mr. Ben Hogan didn't swing on the plane he wrote about? Can you imagine that the swing plane you have in mind may be the cause of your slice or shank? In an effort to clarify the misconceptions on the seemingly simple swing plane, this book reveals the truth and fundamentals hidden behind. Here is the shocking truth: there is no backswing or downswing plane in a conventional full swing, there is only the striking plane. The book introduces the Striking Plane Swing Model, which has been extracted from the swings of numerous great ball strikers in history. The model defines the essence of the swing and the proper sequence of club movement, and is based on the laws of classical mechanics and the knowledge of human anatomy. This book will show you why and how many of existing swing plane theories are flawed. A simple but accurate swing analysis method is also introduced and can be used to analyze your swings and pinpoint your issues. Golfers of all levels can benefit from the concepts discussed in this book and will be able to look at the golf swing from a brand new perspective. Knowing the true swing plane fundamentals, an amateur will be able to better understand and diagnose his swing issues; an advanced player will be able to own his swing by creating a swing style that suits him the best.

D.J. Gregory fell in love with golf at the age of twelve, when he first began watching the game on television and attending local tournaments with his dad. But unlike many other golf fans, D.J. never dreamed of playing professionally. He never thought of becoming a ranked amateur, or even a caddie.

When D.J. was an infant, doctors told his parents that he would probably spend his life in a wheelchair because of his cerebral palsy. But that didn't keep D.J. from trying to beat the odds, enduring five surgeries, learning to walk with a cane, and eventually earning college degrees in sports management. Golf had always remained D.J.'s passion, and in 2008, he decided to make a dream come true -- to travel the country and walk with a different player at each event on the PGA Tour.

From the first event on the island of Maui, through the season-ending tournament at Disney World, D.J. lived out a sports fantasy unlike any other. Every week of the tour, he traveled to a tournament where he walked every round with the greatest golfers in the world: Boo Weekley, an affable country boy who went on to be the hero of the Ryder Cup...Davis Love III, whose twentieth career win earned him a lifetime card in the PGA...and Kenny Perry, the forty-eight-year-old veteran who, like the last days of a bright nova, made his final professional moments in 2008 the hottest and most brilliant of his career.

For D.J., it was the most exciting year of his life, a physically challenging but emotionally rewarding adventure filled with wonderful people, unforgettable moments, and cherished memories. "Walking with Friends" is a book for all the fans who live for the love of the game, for the dreamers and doers who make things happen, and for the friends who help us walk through the journey of life.

"Golfing with Grammy," is about the art of learning how to win your round of golf at all costs. It's about using every mind game or sneaky trick you can think of to distract your golfing opponent. If you are similar to me, most of your golfing buddies, girlfriends etc., are not all that mentally tough when it comes to the rigors of competition, so any thought you can put in their weak little minds during their round of golf will easily send them down a double bogie path of misery. I am here to teach you the keys to not letting your opponent know that you are the underlying reason for their golfing demise. Enjoy watching your opponent three putt knowing that you were the cause of their shaky hands. Giggle to yourself as you watch your opponent's golf ball fly high against the bright blue sky and land in the green forest of triple bogies. "Golfing with Grammy" is not about playing golf with your Nana. Hopefully only a few of you will be disappointed. Have some few laughs and play well, but just not as good as me.
