An interesting tale about the lengths that one man would go to reclaim what was rightfully his-- a genuine love for a timeless game.

You should read this book for a very fundamental reason; one of the profound realizations golfers ultimately make in the effort to improve is that Bobby Jones was right about managing the course between your ears. The problem is that it is difficult to do. For the first time, this book gives you a real understanding of how the brain works to help you. We have distilled very complex concepts into simple language, and have given you proven techniques to utilize the power of your mind. Play well and enjoy. Jim Yockey Having spent a career studying and writing about language, psychology, brain functioning, and human behavior I can without reservation assure you that using the scientifically sound precepts in "Playing With Your Mind" will help you develop a better golf game. Moreover, you may find the techniques useful in many areas of your life. What I know about golf is that it requires creative thinking and persistence to play well. Read this book with that same search for insight and you will be rewarded. Harry A. Whitaker

In 1957, when very few Mexican-Americans were familiar with the game of golf, and even less actually played it, a group of young caddies which had been recruited to form the San Felipe High School Golf Team by two men who loved the game, but who had limited access to it, competed against all-white schools for the Texas State High School Golf Championship. Despite having outdated and inferior equipment, no professional lessons or instructions, four young golfers with self-taught swings from the border city of Del Rio, captured the State title. Th ree of them took the gold, silver and bronze medals for best individual players. Th is book tells their story from their introduction to the game as caddies to eventually becoming champions.

Have you ever heard a golfer say, "Golf is a commentary on life?" J.D. (Jerry) Cole has taken that idea to task in The Course. The Course is filled with golf metaphors, stories and illustrations on golf and life. Jesus spoke of the "Sower and the Seed, "The Mustard Seed" and the "Wheat and the Weeds" to farmers, and Jerry writes about the "Golfer and the Course," "The Grip" and "The Scramble" to golfers. The Course is a metaphor on life. Its ups and downs, sorrows and joys, and its defeats and triumphs are all part of God's course design. If life is a tapestry of stories, within these pages are the stories of one golfer as he walked the course of life with his friend, Savior and Lord." Experience the passion of a true lover of the game and insights into the Christian life as Jerry shares his experiences on the golf course and The Course of life. J.D. Cole has experience in many ministries over the last thirty-six years: Pastor-Teacher and Church Planter with the Next Generation Churches, Field Staff with Young Life and Youth Pastor. Presently, he is a Discipleship Trainer with Discipleship Training International and an International Advocate for Haiti with Missions Door. His life's mission has always been to simply tell people about Jesus. The Course is an outworking of that desire. Jerry loves the game of golf and holds a handicap index that moves over and under 10. He considers his greatest accomplishment as helping his wife, Susan raise their four children, Leta, Jonathan, Jessica and Stephanie. He and Susan live in Nevada enjoying their grandkids.

The Five Inch Course: Play better golf with the swing you already have.. In 1960, the average golf score was 100. Fifty years later, with all the innovations in clubs, balls and instruction, the average golf score is ... still 100. In fact, only 20 percent of all golfers will ever (honestly) break that mark. More bad news: Barring a major investment in time and money, you're stuck with the swing you have. Tips from golf magazines, your buddies -- even the occasional lesson from a pro-- aren't going to result in long term improvement. Studies have shown that most players never get better than they are five years into their golfing "career." However, this doesn't mean that lower scores are out of reach. The Five Inch Course offers more than a hundred strategies for improving your golf score without improving your swing. By playing smarter, more strategic golf, even weekend hackers can dramatically improve their scores without improving their swings.

Using some simple instruction, a few easy drills, and many diagrams, "Stop Coming Over-the-Top" can help any golfer get his swing back on plane, as well as teaching him how to improve distance and accuracy. After learning how an over-the-top move simulates a wood chopping motion, you'll be shown how a correct swing eliminates these errors. In this Quick Guide you'll learn: ** What really causes an over-the-top swing ** How to create a good shoulder coil with a big swing arc ** A simple way to get your swing on plane ** Why your lower body always starts your downswing... but not always correctly ** How to start your downswing correctly every time ** How to "hold" your wrist cock until late in your downswing ** How to stop "chicken-winging" ** And more So don't fuss with the symptoms of a poor swing.

A revealing and intimate biography of the man who influenced Tiger Woods the most-his father, Earl Woods.

From the time he entered the public consciousness as a two-year-old golf prodigy on "The Mike Douglas Show," Eldrick "Tiger" Woods has often seemed to be not much more than a ball-striking machine- reinforced by his carefully guarded image and emotionless persona. Even after his recent bombshell adultery scandal, the public still knows very little about the man behind the golf clubs and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals. But one thing is certain: Earl Woods, Tiger's beloved and now deceased father, knew him better and influenced his life more than anyone.

In "His Father's Son," Tom Callahan offers a full-blown biography of earl Dennison Woods, the Vietnam War veteran who raised the golf phenomenon and, in turn, a full-blown biography of Tiger. With exclusive access to and interviews with Earl, Tiger, and a host of other key figures, Callahan provides an unprecedented look into their lives and the remarkably close relationship they had. With unparalleled insight into the man who made Tiger Woods the person that he is, "His Father's Son" is part biography and part father-and-son love story.

Here are a few excerpts: WOW A lot has changed in the past 20 years. When I first published this book in February, 1991, I didn't have a web address or a cell phone. Home computers were just starting to gain popularity and I hadn't quite turned 30 yet. ... Surprisingly, one thing that hasn't changed are the 10 Secrets for Golfing Success. They are still just as valid today as they were when I originally wrote about them 20 years ago. ... I Found the Golf God, 10 Secrets for Golfing Success was the first book I ever wrote, so it will always be very special to me. Based on the letters and comments I've received through the years, it's been a special book to dozens of other people, as well - both golfers and non-golfers alike. I've received letters from golf professionals giving the book credit for their first big tournament wins. I've received phone calls from men and women in all walks of life telling stories of how the book changed their lives (not just their golf games). I've even had several non-golfers get "mad" that it was a golf book and not a life improvement book, saying they almost hadn't read it because of that. One of the most magical moments for me was receiving a handwritten note from tennis legend, Martina Navratilova, stating how the concept of "target golf" had helped her golf game. Another was when international self-help author and success coach, Anthony Robbins, happened to come into a bookstore where I was doing a book signing, and asked me to autograph a copy of I Found the Golf God to his friend, Ken Blanchard (author of The One Minute Manager), as a birthday gift. ... I Found the Golf God sold nearly 10,000 copies in its first year, going to print three times in the first nine months. It's been used as a sales training tool, as a textbook for golf colleges, as a tournament gift bag item, and more. GOLFERS AND NON-GOLFERS ALIKE LOVE I Found the Golf God With years and years of rave reviews from men and women golfers of all levels, this timeless golf and life improvement book is sure to help you improve your golf swing and your game

"When Golf was Fun" is a collection of tales from what is known as the "beer and barbecue circuit" of golf tournaments. These tournaments held in small town all across the state of Texas were not only the beginning of the careers of many great golfers but also produced some local legends. It was a time when golf was still a game, not a big business. This collection of 38 stories will entertain and amaze as you read first-hand accounts of some of the greatest exploits in the history of golf. You will read about local golf pros who are unknown outside of their local country club and you will also read about legends like Ben Crenshaw, Bruce Lietzke, Charles Coody, Miller Barber, Ben Hogan and others. Texas has a very rich golf history and much of it is captured in "When Golf was Fun." The late, great beer and barbecue circuit was a bygone era of Texas golf in which many Lone Star legends were born and raised but has since given way to the more civilized and organized golf industry we know today. Much like baseball's barnstorming days, the barbecue circuit was a series of unaffiliated events that brought an extremely high level of golf and excitement to tiny towns like Center and Athens; Quanah and Pampa-places you might otherwise never have known even existed.

"From the deep South to the PGA Tour, the hilarious and inspiring memoir of golfer Boo Weekley "

Ever since his breakout performance at the 2008 Ryder Cup, professional golfer Thomas Brent Weekley, known affectionately as "Boo," has captivated fans with his eccentric, Southern-fried country humor and incredible path to the PGA Tour.

True Boo is the candid and often hilarious memoir of a larger-than-life athlete, and a wild behind-the-scenes look at life on the PGA Tour. Boo takes readers on a rollicking journey that begins with his humble childhood growing up in Milton, Florida. Called "a nobody from nowhere" and the "Crocodile Dundee of golf," Boo had to earn respect on the Tour. His game ascended in record time, culminating in his now legendary Ryder Cup victories--going 2-0-1 in his three matches--and his back-to-back Verizon Heritage wins.

With stories of his personal relationships with other players on tour including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, frequent down-home phrases, figures of speech, locker-room language, plenty of "Booisms" and never-before-seen photos, this is a golf book unlike any other.
