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.

So why settle for a swing that's either powerful or accurate when you can have both? 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.

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:
""Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.""

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
John "Jack" Henry Saffold: "

"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.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Who's Your Caddy? Reilly s is so good, it almost is painful for sportswriters like me to read him. The Sherman Report Rick Reilly is a sports writer like no other. A former ESPN columnist and eleven-time National Sportswriter of the Year, Reilly can make readers laugh, cry, and sometimes want to throw him across the room. He has no compunction telling readers what he thinks about today s most popular sports figures, including Tiger Woods. But for every brazen takedown, Reilly will tell a heartwarming story about the power of sports to heal the wounded and lift the downtrodden. With Reilly s new introduction and updates on his most talked-about columns, as well as his thoughts on athlete tattoos, NFL cheerleaders, and running with the bulls in Pamplona, Tiger, Meet My Sister showcases an unparalleled sportswriter at the very top of his game."

He's the leader of America's exciting new wave of golfing superstars. Young, fun and gifted, Rickie Fowler has taken the sport to a younger audience in the States - making headlines as much for his wacky dress sense and YouTube spoofs as for his God-given prowess with a golf club. Twenty-six-year-old Fowler, is America's answer to Rory McIlroy, and together they represent the gifted faces of golf for a new era: two young men destined to contest a Trans-Atlantic rivalry for that coveted World No. 1 spot. But it was motocross that was Rickie's first love. He had dreams of making his name as a racer until he broke his foot in three places at the age of fifteen. Then on, he focused purely on golf, winning tournament after tournament in high school, until, in 2007, he was chosen for the US's Walker Cup team and a year later became the first university freshman ever to be awarded the NCAA Player of the Year.Such was his burgeoning talent that in 2010 he also went on to become the first American rookie to be selected for the Ryder Cup and in 2014, he became only the third golfer ever to finish in the Top 5 at all four professional majors in the same season, following in the illustrious footsteps of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. He was moving ever closer to that first major victory as he and McIlroy continued to trade shots and tweets at courses around the world for the ultimate golfing honours. But for all his colourful clothes and joking around with fellow 'brat pack' member Bubba Watson, Rickie has a much more serious, emotional and intellectual side to his character. In this compelling first biography on the figurehead of US golf's young guns, Frank Worrall provides a fascinating portrayal of Rickie Fowler as both a fun-loving yet altruistic human being and a single-minded golfing superstar.

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.

"Feherty is at his self-effacing best." -- Los Angeles Times "Golf is not a game, it's a punishment." -- David Feherty The New York Times bestselling author of A NASTY BIT OF ROUGH and SOMEWHERE IN IRELAND, A VILLAGE IS MISSING AN IDIOT, returns with a singular assortment of ribald observations on golf, life, and how best to not take any of it seriously. "First Joyce, then Yeats, now Feherty. The tradition of Irish literary excellence continues, but with this difference: of the three, only Feherty is funny." -- Steven Pressfield, author of THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE and THE WAR OF ART
