Bring Out The Beast In Your Golf Game!

When John Daly, winner of the 1991 PGA Championship and an eleven-time PGA Tour leader in driving distance, started playing golf with his old friend Sean Fister, he was always able to drive the ball farther than Fister could. Not anymore. After years of practice, Fister has gone on to win numerous World Long Drive Championships and hold the record for the longest carry in the world finals at a whopping 393 yards.

Now Fister has taken all the winning tips and techniques he has learned over the years and organized them in this book so that you too can drive better and more consistently. With Fister's Ten Commandments of Distance, you'll learn proven secrets to increase the power and accuracy of your drive, including: ANTI-SLICE TIPS HOW HIGH TO SET YOUR TEE THE BEST LAUNCH ANGLE EXERCISE ROUTINES TO STRENGTHEN YOUR SWING HOW TO FIND THE BEST SHAFT-CLUBHEAD COMBINATION PRACTICE DRILLS AND TECHNIQUES AND MORE

"When I'm picking a partner for a tournament, I always pick Sean. I'm not going to lie: having a guy fly it 360 isn't going to hurt you in a scramble, but it's way more than that with him. I think the ultimate compliment you can give an athlete is that he'd be a perfect team sport guy, and there's no doubt Sean Fister would fit in to any locker room. Golf is such an individual sport that you wonder how a lot of these guys would react when other guys are relying on them, or in that give and take. You don't wonder that about Sean. He's just a great, great guy and a great teammate. There's no helping my game-I've got golf demons in my head that I've got to get rid of-but I've seen him do some amazing things."
--NBA HALL-OF-FAMERCHARLES BARKLEY

"Sean 'The Beast' Fister is the ultimate competitor, and watching him perform at the highest level in his sport has been inspiring. I'm proud to be associated with him in business, and I'm proud to call him a friend."
--CRAIG PAYLOR, PRESIDENT, JLG INDUSTRIES

Every golfer dreams of making a pilgrimage to the British Isles, and it sometimes seems as though every golfer is in fact making that pilgrimage, especially when you're trying to book a tee time. The legendary courses of Scotland and Ireland are magnificent shrines, but their fame has obscured the greatness of the golf to be found all across the landscape of England and Wales.
From the heathland in the north and center to the linksland on the coasts, England and Wales present an extraordinary variety of great golf experiences. "In All Courses Great and Small, " James W. Finegan treats the reader to a countries-wide survey of these golfing delights -- some famous, like the Open Championship venues of Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and Royal St. George's; some well known, like Sunningdale, Wentworth, and The Belfry; and some gems that have long been hidden in plain sight, like The Addington (in suburban London) or Southport & Ainsdale (not ten minutes from Royal Birkdale). There are as many outstanding courses in England and Wales as there are in Scotland and Ireland combined, a shocking fact that is easily explained: While Scotland has 5.2 million people and 550 golf courses, and Ireland has 3.5 million people and 400 courses, England and Wales have 50 million people and more than 2,000 courses.
Finegan provides a charming guide to the courses and the towns, the inns and the eateries to be found along the way. He highlights the best of the not quite four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire; gives advice about lunch after your round at Sandwich; raises a cup of grog at Gog Magog; and tackles the playing and pronouncing problems posed by Pwllheli. He gives full due to the best-known places such as Rye, Wentworth, Hoylake, and the royals, but he also declares such lesser-known treasures as St. Enodoc, Silloth-on-Solway, Southerndown, and Pennard to be every bit as worthy of your time and attention. His books on the courses of Scotland and Ireland, "Blasted Heaths and Blessed Greens" and "Emerald Fairways and Foam-Flecked Seas, " have become invaluable companions to thousands of travelers; "All Courses Great and Small" is an irresistible and even more essential addition to the touring golfer's shelf and suitcase.

FORE Is a collection of ten short golf stories by the famous humorist P.G. Wodehouse, a genuine golf addict. The talent he displayed when writing lyrics for Broadway shows like Oscar Hammerstein's "Show Boat" and "Anything Goes," plus the movies adapted from his stories comes through without effort in these stories, which include the following - as told by The 'Eldest Member' of Wodehouse's country club, as he sits in the bar at the nineteenth hole: "THE CLICKING OF CUTHBERT" "A WOMAN IS ONLY A WOMAN" "A MIXED THREESOME" "SUNDERED HEARTS" "THE SALVATION OF GEORGE MACKINTOSH" "ORDEAL BY GOLF" "THE LONG HOLE" "THE HEEL OF ACHILLES" "THE ROUGH STUFF" "THE COMING OF GOWF" As an extra added feature, the publisher (Magic Lamp Press) has added an appendix containing select quotes from the Wodehouse works, as well as numerous humorous utterances about golf made by other celebrities.

The controversy began with a seemingly innocuous private letter, and spiraled into the biggest media event in golf history. The Augusta National membership dispute dominated headlines and watercooler conversation for nearly a year, propelled by twenty-first-century hot-button issues and a pair of perfectly drawn foils in Hootie Johnson and Martha Burk. But a year after Burk's messy Masters week protest, the meaning of the membership controversy remains elusive. In "The Battle for Augusta National, " Alan Shipnuck -- who reinvented the PGA Tour narrative with the rollicking "Bud, Sweat, & Tees" -- provides the definitive account of what really happened and why.
In this lively, irreverent, ambitious book, Shipnuck chases the story from the chairman's office at Augusta National to the living room of the One Man Klan, along the way bringing to life a vivid cast of characters and revealing subplots aplenty. With meticulous reporting and penetrating insights, Shipnuck provides a nuanced look into the complex and contradictory worlds of Hootie and Martha, who were drawn together like moths to a flame; reveals Augusta National's secret plots to undermine the press and the accompanying turmoil at "The New York Times, " including an exclusive interview with the Times's disgraced executive editor, Howell Raines; and explores the Southern politics that led to Burk's Masters week banishment, drawing on Senate confirmation hearings and campaign contribution documents to link local politicians and a federal judge to Augusta National.
From Tiger Woods to Jack Welch, Sandra Day O'Connor to Bryant Gumbel, Treasury Secretary Snow to Jesse Jackson, the gang's all here in this withering look at a story that never stopped churning.
Along the way, many of the membership controversy's mysteries are revealed. How did Augusta National's top-secret membership roll become public? Who was the shadowy protester identified by hoodwinked reporters as Heywood Jablome? Did Burk lie about a vast right-wing conspiracy to undermine her demonstration? All of this and much more can be found in "The Battle for Augusta National, " a book that captures the passion and absurdity of a great national debate that continues to simmer.

When George McGowan asked me to critique the manuscript for this book, I told him, "I'll take it with me, but I won't be able to go over it for a few days. I've got to get some yard work done this weekend."
I never should have thumbed through SWINGIN' ALONG the following morning at the breakfast table. When I left for work on Monday, my lawn still needed mowing.

Greetings new golfer Welcome to the most frustrating, infuriating, intimidating yet greatest of sports. Beware that, in taking up golf, your self-esteem is about to suffer irreparable damage.
You have, no doubt, remarked, in scanning the myriad of available golf books, that the authors, all blessed with olympian reflexes and hand-eye coordination, first took up the sport before the age of ten. Insightfully, you have probably also concluded that there may be a communication gap between these venerated masters of the game and your own tired, ripened and athletically-challenged physique.
Happily, you have just found the holy grail of golf wisdom for beginners. This book is about taking up golf - from a beginner's perspective. Like yourself, the author is a mere mediocre mortal who took up the game in his mature middle years and whose only previous athletic renown was winning a hula hoop contest in a church basement.
There are two things to learn about golf - how to hit a ball and understanding the game. The former is best learned, not from a book, but on a range from a teaching pro. You must also learn about the game's culture, customs and conventions, which is what this book is all about.
