Signature Golf Swing - Stop Fighting with Complicated Swing Mechanics! (Paperback): Lee Kopanski Signature Golf Swing - Stop Fighting with Complicated Swing Mechanics! (Paperback)
Lee Kopanski
R973 Discovery Miles 9 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Build your own golf swing by simplifying the basics to naturally hit longer and straighter, injury free. This edition of Signature Golf Swing comprises 152 pages and is illustrated throughout. For a full colour version see ISBN 978-0-9569633-0-7.

The golf swing is a natural movement which has been extremely over-complicated, extensively over-analysed and therefore completely misunderstood. This inevitably results in consistently poor and injury prone golf. Each and every golf swing is unique and yours is no different. Learn how to dynamically position your body ready to spring into action and how to build your own golf swing by simplifying the basics to naturally fit your body, the way your golf swing should. Learn to hit longer and straighter golf shots time and again, utilising the power of your whole body whilst ensuring that your golf remains injury free. Practise makes perfect. This is especially true when in a controlled environment, using simple objects available to every golfer (at no extra cost), strategically positioned to keep your golf swing on the straight and narrow.

Discover the driving force behind any great golf swing by isolating the boss of your swing and improving it. Elite players know only too well that this is the best way to build your golf swing in practice and in play. Without a target you have nothing to learn and the ball will ultimately be your best teacher as you develop the skills to read the clear footprints left behind by each and every shot that you play. Totally transform your golf using insider tour proven techniques that will develop your instinctive feeling for your target. This does not need to be any more complicated than throwing, catching or kicking a ball. Your golf can simply be so much better

Lee Kopanski has worked intensively with 3 highly acclaimed tour professional coaches over an 11 year period which opened the door for him to the world of elite coaching. Through 20+ years of dedicated hands on experience Lee has developed a unique teaching system using many tour proven insider techniques that are equally effective for a professional golfer striving to be one of the golfing elite as they are for a complete beginner. No quick fixes, cheats or useless tips or tricks, just straight forward facts backed up by techniques that really work and are guaranteed to dramatically revolutionise your golf.

I've heard many golfers tell me that they played great but scored horribly. That statement made me really think about my own golf game. I, too, have had rounds where I've hit the ball well but it wasn't reflected in my score. How is it possible that we can hit the ball so well yet still take a 6 on a par 4 hole? The answer isn't easy, but it can be addressed. I'm not a golf pro, but I do love the game of golf. I've always wanted to improve my golf game, so this book will help both you and me.

John Norsworthy, Mark Mansfield; Foreword by Morgan Mason
R327 Discovery Miles 3 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

About Good Golf is Easy In this book John Norsworthy shows you how to: Make your swing and your overall game consistent and reliable. Rediscover and draw upon your innate skills of coordination, timing and feel you first learned as a child. Save shots on every hole with techniques for trouble shots, the short game and for putting. Master your attitude so that you not only play your best but also positively enjoy yourself when playing If like most weekend golfers you have only limited time to practice and to play golf, this book will provide you with an approach that is perfect for you. John is a P.G.A. teaching professional with more than a half century of experience as a professional teacher. His methods are the result of teaching thousands of students at every level from complete beginners to tournament professionals, from celebrities to politicians, and even a king They are also the result of extensive research into the methods used by the greatest players and teachers over the past century. Let the player within you play Good Golf is Easy teaches you to play naturally and instinctively. You will learn how to dissipate tension, set aside fear and instead play with freedom and joy. Slices, hooks, fat shots, thin shots or plain missing the ball should become a thing of the past and your scoring should also improve appreciably. Luke Donald has an amazing short game, Rory McIlroy a beautiful, fluid swing and Tiger Woods an incredible record of victories. We can not guarantee you such lofty heights but we will help you play consistently and reach your full potential far more often. Just look at Bubba Watson's magical victory at the 2012 Augusta masters. Bubba is mostly self taught and has no swing coach or mental guru. His swing may not look perfect but his instinctive play gave rise to amazing comeback on the final day. He beat the 2010 St Andrews Open Championship winner, Louis Oosthuizen after a stunning two-hole playoff. Great players find their player within. And many years ago when players relied more on their instincts, such achievements were more commonplace. This is the secret to bringing out the very best in your game, a secret within Good Golf is Easy Golf 2.0 Jack Nicklaus is a great supporter of Golf 2.0 which is opening the game of golf to us all. Good Golf is Easy embraces the principles of Golf 2.0 by making golf simpler to learn and to play. Foreword by Morgan Mason I have been blessed in many ways over the years. One of those blessings was an impulse to take a golf lesson having never touched a club or had any interest before. That day I was blessed again to meet John Norsworthy. Since then he has become a true friend and mentor. Although I didn't take that first lesson until well past the age of 40, I was able, with John's guidance and confidence in me, to go from complete novice to a single digit handicap in less than 3 years. Something I didn't really believe was possible but John did. John is not only a great teacher but also a great gentleman. I believe this book will be a tremendous asset to golfers of all levels. The comparisons between the players of yesterday and today are revealing and show that with all the modern technology available now, not much has really changed in the last 100 years. These eternal truths will benefit the game of all golfers and more importantly will make the game easier and more enjoyable. Thank you John and bless you for making my life so much more enjoyable Morgan is a politician, film producer and actor. He was the former chief of protocol (acting) of the United States, special assistant to President Ronald Reagan and is the son of British actor James Mason.

Hit Down Dammit! - The Key to Golf (Paperback): Clive Scarff Hit Down Dammit! - The Key to Golf (Paperback)
Clive Scarff
R559 Discovery Miles 5 590 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Most golfers have difficulty with the concept of hitting down at the ball to make it fly. Surprisingly, a great many players surveyed did not even know you need to hit down to get the ball up in the air. Hit Down Dammit concisely explains the concept - and the technique - of hitting down at the golf ball for proper trajectory, increased backspin, much improved distance, proper divot taking, and best of all: consistent shotmaking. If you are inadvertently - or intentionally - hitting up at the ball, Hit Down Dammit is for you. If you are a seasoned amateur who has inexplicably "plateaud" - just cannot seem to get to the next level despite lessons and/or acquiring a library of books and videos - Hit Down Dammit is for you. Symptoms of hitting up include (but are not limited to): - topping the ball - skulling the ball - pushing the ball - slicing the ball - poor distance - difficulty getting off back foot - poor backspin - no divot - fat divots - chunking the ball - thin/fat chip shots - roofing the ball with your driver - inability to hit long irons and/or fairway woods - good shots followed immediately by poor shots Hitting down at the golf ball is not a new concept, but it is a hitherto poorly explained (or completely avoided) concept. All pros agree on the need to hit down, so there is no debate there. Even Tiger Woods, in his 306 page "How I Play Golf," states the need to hit down at the ball - but does not explain how. Hit Down Dammit does. Learn to hit down, watch the ball go up, and your scores go down.

His Father's Son - Earl and Tiger Woods (Paperback): Tom Callahan His Father's Son - Earl and Tiger Woods (Paperback)
Tom Callahan
R555 Discovery Miles 5 550 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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

R861 Discovery Miles 8 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Perhaps the best golfer ever, Tiger Woods rocketed to the top of a once whites-only sport. Endorsements made him a global brand and the world's richest athlete. The child of a multiracial marriage, Woods and his blond, blue-eyed wife, Elin Nordegren, seemed to represent a new postracial America. Then, in late 2009, Woods became embroiled in a sex scandal that made headlines worldwide. In this concise yet far-reaching analysis, Orin Starn brings an anthropologist's perspective to bear on Tigergate. He explores our modern media obsession with celebrity scandals and their tawdry ritualized drama, yet he offers much more than the usual banal moralizing about the rich and famous. Starn explains how Tiger's travails and the culture of golf reflect broader American anxieties--about race and sex, scapegoating and betrayal, and the role of the sports hero. "The Passion of Tiger Woods" is required reading for all those interested in the high-stakes world of professional golf, the politics of sports and celebrity, and the myths and realities surrounding the flawed yet riveting figure who remains among the most famous athletes of our time.
