A new, fully illustrated gift book commemorating the unparalleled
rise, fall, and comeback of golf’s greatest champion Tiger Woods
turned pro at age 20 in 1996, rapidly ascending to become the No. 1
ranked player in the world at age 21 and the youngest player ever
to achieve the career Grand Slam. Woods’ second decade on
the tour was one of reinvention, marked by injuries and personal
struggles before a comeback that culminated in Woods first major
win in 11 years at the 2019 Masters. In celebration of Woods’
first quarter century on the professional circuit, those moments
and memories are collected in Tiger Woods: Celebrating 25 Years on
the PGA Tour. Capturing the magic of Woods’ career as only Sports
Illustratedâ„¢ can, this new volume includes more than 100
full-color photographs, some of which have become nearly as iconic
as the man himself—from Woods’ earliest days on the golf course
with his father to his play alongside his son, Charlie, in 2020.
This commemorative book also features some of the best written
coverage of Woods’s career from the pages of Sports
Illustratedâ„¢, including pieces by Frank Deford, Rick Reilly, Gary
Smith, Alan Shipnuck, and more.
PUTTER PERFECTION is the first book to explain essential putter
fitting fundamentals in a comprehensive yet easy-to-read format for
the average golfer. FROM THE BACK COVER: "A very thorough guide to
putter fitting." -Pat O'Brien, putting instructor to major
champions Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink and many other PGA Tour
professionals. PGA Tour professionals are fanatical about making
sure that their putters are properly fitted. Why? Because they know
that a proper fit is essential to maximizing your putting
potential. Yet most golfers still just grab a so-called "standard"
putter right off the retail rack with little regard to how it fits,
creating a recipe for trouble on the green. Bad habits may be hard
to break, but the truth is that there's no longer any excuse for
failing to seek a better fit. After all, personal putter fitting
options are rapidly multiplying at the point of purchase, and
nearly all of the clubs offered by the top putter brands are
available in different configurations that you can fit to your
physique and your stroke. In other words, it's time for you to take
action and seek a better fit, and it's much easier than you might
think. You just need to know what to look for. Enter Putter
Perfection by Sean Weir, editor of PutterZone.com. Putter
Perfection is the first guide to give you the full scoop on putter
fitting essentials--and how you can apply them yourself to achieve
a better fit for better results on the green. Tour professionals
routinely employ putter fitting as an essential part of their
game--and now you can, too. It's time for you to achieve Putter
Perfection.
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.

These are just a few of the famous names that attract us to the
game of golf or inspire and motivate us to take up the game, but
there are many names that are lesser known - people that also make
up the rich tapestry that is the history of golf. Author Lee Wood
recounts a personal journey to the game of golf and includes the
stories, events and characters from the world of golf that
motivated and inspired that journey - because no one gets to the
game of golf alone. It is one that is shared from person to person
and generation to generation. When we share our experiences, we
just may inspire someone else to take up a game that can transform
a life. "An unusually compelling tale that goes beyond avid
sports-fan lore," - Dundee Press.
I'm not talking about Bulging Muscles or Towering Torsos. It's YOUR
body as it is NOW, plus some Budo training that will give you "Ki
Power." A Dozen plus One Secret Swings of Golf will take you high
handicappers and turn you into "Swingers " These SWINGS will give
you a "Golf Body" by JUST DOING IT AT HOME ALONE Think of all the
money you'll save on green fees Golf books are like the books on a
wedding ceremony. Hundreds of photos, thousands of words about what
you wear, what food to eat, where to sit, the cutlery, the number
of guests, the seating arrangements etc. However there is NOTHING
on "How to Get in that...whole Moses " What it all comes down to is
"I do," and then you JUST DO IT. That's the wedding ceremony; all
the rest is for...wedding related businesses to make lots of money.
Sound like the 'Golf Business' uh huh? Finally we have a golf book
that tells us NOT about the grip, the stance, the take back, the
weight transference; but a book that tells you how to "Get There"
and when you finally get there, to Just Fxxking Do It. It is
written in simple, easy to understand words and drawings, with
occasional obscene language, that will tell you all that you will
ever need to know about " How to Get There " You will laugh; you
will cry; you will throw up...you will do a front flip, tear off
you shirt and run towards the screaming fans, raising your fist,
high in the air, with the One Finger extended; telling everyone
that you are "UNO" and that you always just DO IT " Crazy Driver
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.
Breaking 300 yards off the tee box is an achievable milestone for
the average golfer. In this book I reveal several simple ways to
improve your clubhead speed resulting in longer drives down the
center of the fairway. I spent a major part of my life developing a
golf swing that allows me to break 300 yards with the driver.
Regardless of your swing type, handicap, or skill level this book
is designed to help every golfer improve overall distance and move
one step closer to breaking 300. The focus of this book is to build
a sturdy foundation for your golf swing. If you have a good, solid
foundation, the rest of the swing will naturally fall into place.
The majority of golfers have a good idea about how to hit the ball,
but their foundation may not be the strongest. As a result, they
are forced to use their athleticism to compensate for swing faults.
By building a stronger foundation from the beginning, you will have
more fun and see increased distance in your golf game. Thank you
for sharing my interest in breaking 300 yards off the tee box. I
wish you the best of luck in discovering the hidden distance within
your reach.
