"When I retire, I'll finally get my golf game in shape." This is a myth- unless you dedicate yourself to a plan for healthy living and a focus on the principles of good golf. The myth of better golf in retirement is based on a few faulty assumptions. 1. If I play everyday, I will get better. 2. The absence of work and more control over my time will result in better golf. I will be relaxed and stress free. 3. My current set of clubs and my old swing will work even better now that I am playing more. The truth about building a better game of golf in our later years is based on a very different set of principles, not mythical assumptions. The principles of improvement are: 1. Your life must become a "portfolio" of living that includes health, conditioning, positive relationships, higher purpose and meaning. 2. Your golf game must become a project with goals, objectives and specific action items that elevate your game. 3. You will need to invest in modern equipment, swing analysis and find a local teaching pro to help you build an enduring game. I have an admission to make you you, the reader and golfer. Currently, I am at a 15 year low point in my game. Two years of cancer treatment and back injury have elevated my handicap from a "5" to an "11." Selfishly, the writing of this book is for me. However, the greater good of book is for you, the recent retiree. Together, we will learn how to have a great "back nine." The following pages are a blueprint for my recovery and rebuilding of a respectable golf game. Perhaps it will serve as your blueprint as well. Today is truly the first day of a better game of golf- and life on our "back nine."

During the Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s, Walter Hagen was to golf what Babe Ruth was to baseball. The first professional golfer to make his living playing the game rather than teaching it, Hagen won eleven major professional tournaments over his long career -- two U.S. Opens, four British Opens, and five PGA Championships (including an amazing streak of four consecutive PGA wins) -- a record surpassed only by Jack Nicklaus. Hagen was also influential in helping to found the Ryder Cup and was the first American golfer to top $1 million in career earnings -- a figure equivalent to over $40 million today.

Award-winning sportswriter Tom Clavin has penned a thrilling biography that vividly recalls Hagen's dazzling achievements and the qualities that made him a star. Energetic, witty, and one of the best putters ever to walk the green, Hagen was a man who loved to party, was extraordinarily generous to his friends, and golfed the world over, giving exhibitions. He preferred to travel by limousine, and if he intended to stay awhile he'd bring a second limo just to transport his clothes, which were nothing but the finest. On his many trips across the Atlantic to compete in the Ryder Cup or British Open, Hagen was known to throw parties that lasted days, ending only when the ship reached the shore. He was also the first professional golfer to admit to playing not only for the love of the game, but also for the love of the winner's purse.

Walter Hagen, forerunner of today's sports superstars, is as dynamic a character as can be found in American sports history. Bringing Hagen to life with incredible detail and countless anecdotes, "Sir Walter" is the authoritative biography of the man who helped create professional golf as it's known today.

Golf is one of the most popular games in the world. That is a strange thing to say, since almost all serious golfers actually have a love-hate relationship with it. A good round can bring great joy and satisfaction, while a bad round can end in depression, a binge at the bar, arguments with one's partner and the need for prompt evasive action by the family cat. Although this book is written in a light-hearted manner, it contains a wealth of information about every aspect of the game. Learn about its long and speckled history and some of the quirky characters who have graced the links. It also has some advice on putting and chipping, two parts of the game which cause the occasional golfer frustration, heartache and sore knees after repeated attempts to break the clubs. Failing that you will find a selection of fascinating anecdotes about the game's greats and plenty of intriguing trivia.

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.

It helps you understand both how to make the correct moves and how to avoid the incorrect ones: ** "Hold" or even increase your wrist cock during the downswing ** Avoid casting from the top ** Develop maximum clubhead speed as you near impact ** Learn how Hogan's supinated wrist position works ** Create a downward strike on the ball that prevents flipping ** And more There are no secret tricks to creating clubhead speed, and you don't need expensive training aids to create solid strikes on the ball. All you need is a clear understanding of what your club does during your downswing and how you can cooperate with it to get the most clubhead speed possible. All you need is "More Golf Swing Speed."

Do you want to attack the pin and leave yourself shorter putts? Then "Accurate Iron Play" is the Quick Guide for you. It focuses on the approach shot-what makes it different from a drive for distance-and how it enables you to zero in on your target. It looks at both the factors that affect your shot choices and the techniques that improve distance control and accuracy with your irons: ** Understand the strategic choices involved in approach shots ** "Hold" your wrist cock during the downswing ** Avoid casting from the top ** Make a crisp downward strike on the ball that prevents flipping ** Learn to "dial in" distances with different irons ** Control your trajectory ** And more The techniques for making better approach shots aren't hard to learn, and it doesn't take endless hours on the range to gain an amazing amount of control. All you need is a clear understanding of why the ball behaves as it does and how to choose and use the best iron for the job. All you need is "Accurate Iron Play."

This is the only book that describes how to use Zen and other East Asian practices in order to improve the physical techniques of golf. Japanese martial artists, such as the samurai, trained in Zen in order to control the movements of their bodies. Through such training, they eliminated excess movement, resulting in greater speed and efficiency. Eliminating excess movement also served to increase their consistency. These same practices can be used to play better golf. Applying the concepts of Zen and the martial arts to the game of golf will help players to eliminate extraneous movements, resulting in greater consistency, increased confidence, and overall proficiency. The techniques found in Zen and the Japanese martial arts can also have a profound influence on the mental aspects of golf. If the Samurai Played Golf... combines the philosophical and spiritual teachings of samurai warriors and Zen monks, and interprets them for use by golfers and other athletes. It is the only book that presents East Asian philosophy as a tool that can be used to train both the body and the mind in golf.
