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!
So, who’s the best of 'em all? Tiger Woods? Jack Nicklaus? Bobby Jones?
Ben Hogan? Golf fans will disagree until the end of time, but one thing
is certain: For well over 100 years, the sport has provided its share
of spectacular careers and indelible moments. And what about fan
favorites such as Phil Mickelson, Nancy Lopez, and Lee Trevino? Where
do they rank on the list? Or modern players like Scottie Scheffler,
Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Nelly Korda, and Justin
Thomas. Did they make the final cut―and if so, where?
In a joyride through golf history itself, New York Times bestselling
author Michael Arkush establishes a ranking system that places a heavy
emphasis on the game’s major championships and profiles the most
accomplished and impactful golfers ever―men and women, known and
unknown. Arkush captures the flair, as well as the flaws, of athletes
who are intensely competitive, funny, peculiar, or larger-than-life.
