A golf instruction book written by Graham Hawkings, PGA Advanced Golf Coach with over thirty years of experience of teaching all standards of player, from the complete beginner to the elite competitor. The book takes you on a journey in which you will learn how to maximise your own personal strengths, at the same time as giving you the necessary information you need to improve you weaknesses. The basis of the book is that we all have what Graham calls our own individual "DEFAULT GOLF SWING" this is the one which we were born with, unfortunately very rarely is this the method that will allow us to reach our optimum performance level. However what our DEFAULT SWING provides us with is a framework on which we can with one or maybe a number of tweaks allow us to capitalise on our natural skills. Using tried and tested methods DEFAULT GOLF offers the reader in plain and easily understood language the opportunity to maximise their potential by travelling along a structured route. It begins in Part one with a brief explanation of the impact that the golf clubhead has on the flight that the golf ball will take, but the book never deviates from its initial theme that a golfers performance is totally their own responsibility. No one method is preferred to another, the reader is encouraged to go out and explore various options. Like all good teachers Graham tells you where you need to look to find improvement but he doesn't necessarily tell you what to see.

Treat yourself to Second Helpings and more choice cuts in the style of Simon Brown's much lauded first volume of memoirs, Playing off the Roof & Other Stories. Exuberantly revisiting his early years in National Service, at Oxford and as a young barrister, Lord Brown recalls matters grave and trivial from his time at the Bar and on the Bench, along the way regaling us with tales of Paddington Bear, Nigel Lawson and Mozart at the Warsaw opera. He also has something to say about the current legal scene and considers such thorny problems as the 2019 prorogation judgment and whether trial by jury might be dispensed with in order to clear a mounting backlog of criminal cases. Drawing witty lessons from a life of trials, Lord Brown finds time to muse on when a judge might choose to change a sentence already imposed, what to say after dinner and why the game of golf is strictly for the birds!
