"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.
"A curious anomaly is found in a review of golf literature of the past fty years. Ninety percent of the literature deals with moving the ball from tee to green. Although there are hundreds of books and articles published on putting they deal almost exclusively with grip, technique, and stroking the ball. Practically nothing is written on how to read the green and estimate or calculate how much a ball will break." - H. A. Templeton, 'Vector Putting' To illustrate the general lack of advice in golfing books on reading greens consider the weighty "The Complete Book Of Golf" published by Colour Library Books. In its 520 pages the advice on putting makes up just twelve pages and most of that small section is devoted to stance and wrist action rather than reading the green. And yet is on the putting green that shots are lost and games sacrificed. There are eighteen tee shots in a game but a medium to high handicap player will take as many as thirty-five to fifty putts during a game. Reading the green is an essential component of a successful game of golf. This book rectifies this deficiency by explaining the way that a golf ball rolls and breaks after being hit. What happens after the ball is struck is outside the control of the golfer. All she can do is watch and hope she hit it to set it off at the correct speed and in the correct direction. This is where this book will guide you to better putting. "I would say that each day I holed between 2-5 putts that I would not have holed using the naked eye to judge. That is a huge return for someone with my handicap (six) representing a saving of nearly half of my handicap each round " Unsolicited praise from a fan of my work.
Can I really add 30 yards to my golf game? Yes... but let me warn you, if you are lazy and are simply looking for a "magic bullet" solution, this is not the program for you. The simple fact of the matter is this: the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program is NOT a "quick fix." It's a SMART fix to a very complex problem that consequently yields incredibly fast results. Oh, and did I mention that you'll probably even burn loads of fat off while you add distance to ALL your clubs at the same time? That's unheard of. But the reality is I've had clients do it over and over again, and you will too. At the same time, I want to make sure I'm being very clear: make no mistake, this program takes work, and if you're one of these people who can't dedicate 30 days to radically changing your golf game and body - a change that you will be able to enjoy for the rest of your life - then please, do not invest in this system. But for those of you who are serious, those who are ready to put forth the effort, the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system will absolutely give you every tool you need to immediately DOUBLE your rate of distance gains and experience the yardage gains you deserve - GUARANTEED. Others did it too...and so can you. If you have read everything up to this point, you definitely are not lazy. I think you genuinely want to get better at your golf game.. and you aren't afraid of practice, working out, or analyzing your stats. You enjoy the process of "digging it out of the dirt." I've taught thousands of other golfers just like you how to dig it out of the dirt and transform their bodies and golf games. Just about every day I get emails, Facebook posts, and tweets of people just like you who transformed their golf games and bodies using my workouts. Here are just a few clients of the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system and what they had to say: "I bought the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program already 2 months into my golf season. I was a little scared about working out and playing golf, not knowing if my body could hold up. I saw results right away in my swing and health of my body. What Chris puts together with not only the lifting but also the joint mobility and flexibility training helped dramatically to my swing and joints. This added health allowed me to work out harder and these workouts are right to the point, which helps because I am always on the move. Overall I was able to gain about 20 yards to my about 240-yard original full driver swing. I can't wait to continue this program and use this as a part of my life from now on." - Mitchell S., Norway "I tried your 30 yards in 30 days program back in May. It definitely works... when I swing in control. Won three longest drives this year in tournaments " - Dave, 34, Ontario, Canada "Your workout is going well. I was in pretty good shape before starting the workout but I like that everything is tailored around golf motions. Another one of my weaknesses was getting myself to stretch. This workout requires you to stretch and I am a big fan of that as well." - John W. "Just wanted to thank you for creating and allowing me to try the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less workout system. 2 weeks after starting we had a nice weekend and I hit the longest drive of my life so I can't wait to see what happens now that it has been over 30 days." - Chris S. "After just two weeks of doing the workouts, twice each beginners workout. I can see a marketable difference in my swing. I can't tell distance yet, as I haven't been out on the course. But I can tell the difference in my leg strength and flexibility already. It will be easily 30 yards " Thank you, - Chris Connell
Are you tired of golf instruction? What you need is game improvement - a Total Golf Transformation. The problem is that traditional golf instruction is based on a flawed model, which results in golfers failing to achieve their goals and falling short of their true potential. For the last ten years golf has been stagnant, for every new golfer that takes up the game, one existing golfer leaves the game. And it's partly the fault of the golf instruction community who have generally failed to change with the times. The world is changing, technology is all around us, changing our lives, mostly for the better, but golf instruction has failed to keep up. If your golf pro is not using digital video, launch monitor technology and maybe even motion analysis equipment, you are not getting the full benefits of modern data collection and sharing methods. The new paradigm in game improvement uses science and technology together with advances in brain science and learning methodologies to improve your understanding of the swing and to show you how to improve. Even though I became a scratch golfer, good enough to pass the PGA playing ability test and become a PGA professional, my own game didn't get really good until I started to research and understand the golf swing on a completely new level, thanks to the video and computer technologies that started to emerge in the early 1990's. Now, thanks to my research, and the tens of thousands of dollars that I have invested in golf swing research equipment, you can benefit from my experiences and put your game improvement into high gear. I've never met a golfer who didn't want to improve, even though many have become resigned to the fact that even though they love the game, they will never be good at it. In the pages of this book, you will find new insights into your game that will truly allow you to transform your golf game. You will learn the critical elements of the grip, setup, ball position, swing and balance that are used by the pros and elite golfers everywhere. In the first chapter, you will discover the foolproof strategies that will guarantee your success and allow you to create your own game improvement blueprint.

Morden is a sometimes comic look at the game of golf in all its glory and idiosyncrasies. Arranged like an eighteen-hole golf course-including trivia refreshments and three additional playoff holes-this collection of short stories offers life lessons and relies heavily on golf's fundamental tenets to remind golfers why they are so obsessed with this pastime. Morden conveys exasperation over the proverbial sand trap and laughs over Star Wars lingo and Verma Cup antics. Golf has not only taught him how to be a sportsman but it has also taught him how to be a better man to his friends, family, and fellow golfers. "Golf Shorts and Plus Fours" is a collection of well-informed, analytical and entertaining bits of wisdom that will warm the heart of any devoted golfer.
This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.

Hard-hitting Rory McIlroy was always destined to become a professional golfer, from the moment he recorded a 40-yard drive aged just two. His first hole-in-one came when he was nine, and he played in his first professional European tour event as a 16-year old in 2005. Despite high expectations, Rory keeps a cool head on his young shoulders and lets his golf do the talking. His maiden victory came in the nail-biting 2009 Dubai Desert Classic, and he has since gone on to win multiple titles around the world. After falling apart at the 2011 Masters, his breakthrough came in June 2011 when he won his first major, the US Open. An incredible 2012 followed, where he ended up ranked number one golfer in the world. But in 2013, despite high aspirations, Rory did not fare well in major tournaments until the end of the year, when he won the Australian Open by one stroke. This is the story of one of golf's greatest ever talents.
