Written by a longtime golfer and resident of Augusta, Georgia -- home of The Masters -- Golf Etiquette doesn't waste time trying to teach you how to drive the ball, approach the greens with fades or draws, or how to putt. Instead, this is the one book you need if you're new to the game, new to a golfing community or just want to brush up on what's expected on the social side of golfing.

The nearly 37 million people in the United States who play golf probably all have one thing in common: At some point they have contemplated giving up the game because they were frustrated with the way they were playing. When those blissful moments of precise drives and perfect putts disappear, when the ball seems to have a mind of its own, and when well-grooved swings become totally unhinged, we find ourselves in that panicked state known as a "slump."

When Jimmy Roberts, the award-winning reporter and writer, entered his own period of frustration with the game, he decided to ask some of the most famous golfers and successful people in the world for advice. Here, for the first time, are the stories and recollections of eighteen veteran players whose wisdom is both practical and philosophical. Some concentrate on technique (when Phil Mickelson is dissatisfied with the way he's driving the ball, he practices bunker shots to reinforce the most important element of the tee shot--rhythm). Others focus on mental adjustments (Davis Love III remembers his late father's essential advice when he's frustrated: Try less hard).

With stories from greats Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller, Dottie Pepper, Greg Norman, George Herbert Walker Bush, Paul Azinger, and many others, this is an emotional and spiritual first aid kit for anyone who plays the game and even those who don't. As the 41st president says, the way we handle adversities in golf can provide a template for how to handle the challenges in life: Golf lessons can sometimes be life lessons too. There may not be a universal cure-all, but there are many ways to recover from a debilitating slump.

Instead of continually trying to apply the usual golf mechanics to your swing, this book argues that the key to real improvement is exploring your own timing, balance, and power. It then helps you do that.The book also covers the mental side of golf, emphazing a key distinction beteen concentration on the practice tee and focus on the course.

As football is described as a game of inches,"golf might be depicted as a "game of millimeters." The "fine tuning" that a golfer must develop in order to execute plays has as much to do with the use of the mind as it does with any technical training. Being able to identify successful play and recapture that same feeling in order to repeat it is a mental process that requires specialized training and practice. The Mental Side of Golf provides that training for golfers who can master its technique with practice. This program truly will become the most important and trusted "club" in your bag.

Golf has undergone a titanium revolution: new materials, new techniques, and new approaches have radically reshaped the simple act of swatting a little ball towards a distant target. The endlessly inquisitive golfer-which is to say, all of them-has had nowhere to turn to get any sense of WHY their shots go slicing into the distance, WHY they should care about the properties of titanium, WHY putts tend to break to the west, WHY swinging harder doesn't necessarily make the ball go further, and WHY they can hit the ball like a dream one day and like an orang-utan the next. At last, John Zumerchik, a passionate golfer and inquisitive science writer and editor, explores and explains the little details that make golf such a maddening, fascinating, and tantalizing pursuit. NEWTON ON THE TEE covers all of the game's hot topics. With a firm grasp of both his subject and his seven-iron, Zumerchik takes the reader through all these topics and more, in an entertaining and enlightening work that crosses the questing appeal of Golf in the Kingdom with the coherence and clarity of popular science works from Cosmos to Chaos.

Now in paperback, the official physician to the PGA Tour shares his groundbreaking research on preventing back pain and adding more yards to your drives.
It is estimated that half of all recreational golfers and one-third of all professional golfers suffer from some form of lower-back pain. Conventional wisdom suggests that the twisting nature of the golf swing is the sole culprit. But research conducted by sports-medicine specialist Vijay Vad, M.D., reveals that the swing is only one of several factors. Applying Dr. Vad's winning combination of mind/body wisdom and medical expertise to the game of golf, "Golf Rx" shares his cutting-edge findings.
Complete with more than one hundred photographs, "Golf Rx" is a practical guide that brings the wisdom of one of America's leading sports-medicine authorities to golfers of any level or age.

At the age of seven, author Tony M. Small accompanied his parents to the local golf course, never knowing that golf would become an integral part of his life. After a few years of playing, Small couldn't imagine life without it.

After graduating from college, Small realized that his love for golf, when combined with his personal relationship with God, made him a better golfer. "Golf is God's Game" is Small's story of the journey that has given him insight into life, golf, and the interpersonal relationships necessary to be successful in golf and in business.

Using the wonderful stories in the Bible as a basis for the structural knowledge necessary to play great golf, "Golf is God's Game" relates the mental and emotional side of the game, with Biblical background to help the common person become a better golfer, person, and spouse. Small discusses subjects such as the following: Coping with your failures Developing patience and self-control Expressing love Learning to listen to God

Through an honest and sincere relationship with God, you can find the strength necessary to improve your golf game "and" your life

Golf Fitness FOR MEN is a book that approaches the game of golf and improvement from the aspect of improving health and fitness. The main components of the book include: strength, flexibility, mobility, stability, motivational factors, nutrition, and the cause and effect relationships between fitness and the golf swing. Concepts are discussed in a slightly technical way and then broken down in laymen's terms so that any average Joe can pick up the book, read it, and understand the concepts. The book is designed for men, and is written in such a way that is very masculine and straight forward. Most guys are not comfortable bouncing on a Swiss-ball in the middle of a gym, going to yoga classes, or doing Pilates because it's not seen as a manly thing to do and that's just the fact of the matter. The goal of the book is to provide men a way to get themselves in better shape for golf and life while still feeling masculine. All they will need is a basic gym membership and desire. The way the book is written makes it easy to understand and process the information because it is fun to read. Many books for fitness or golf are like instruction manuals; this book is more like a guidepost that's fun and easy to read.

The Golf Professional's Golf Professional.
Warren Smith led a 50-year career as a country club golf professional, record-setting player and legendary instructor of the game. Warren was viewed by many in the industry as a model for other club professionals, those tireless men and women who work and teach at private clubs, resorts, and municipal courses around the country. His quiet style of leadership set an enduring example for hundreds of players, junior golfers, and other golf professionals, even as he played with many titans of golf such as Arnold Palmer, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Hale Irwin, Dow Finsterwald, and Lee Trevino. In his humble, self-effacing way, Warren had a huge impact on others. This biography features engaging and amusing stories from a career led--and a life lived--in the full.
