Originally this instruction book was my golf diary, it slowly evolved as I kept notes during my long journey back to playing golf after a hip injury. I never intended to publish it. I'm not a professional golfer; my golfing friends and others I have taught encouraged me to publish this book, but it took a stranger playing in our foursome to convince me. After we had played a few holes I complimented him on his swing; he told me that he was a beginner. To my surprise he held up a few pages of my golf notes that I had given to our mutual friend. After I informed him that they were from my golf diary, he asked if he could have a copy and suggested I should consider writing a golf instruction book. This is it. I hope it helps you as much as it helped him and others. Most beginner golfers know what a good swing looks like; they've seen the best golfers on television. However, when they attempt to learn the game, they soon discover they can't organize all the moving parts to send the ball in the right direction. Knowing how to communicate to your body, and understanding your natural golf swing builds confidence and gets good results. After you've learned how to communicate the golf swing to your body it compensates for your swing hitches; the correct swing positions will happen naturally on their own.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

In the summer of 1955, early in the modern civil rights era, six African American golfers in Beaumont, Texas, began attacking the Jim Crow caste system when they filed a federal lawsuit for the right to play the municipal golf course. The golfers and their African American lawyers went to federal court and asked a conservative white Republican judge to render a decision that would not only integrate the local golf course but also set precedent for desegregation of other public facilities, as well.In Fair Ways, Beaumont native Robert J. Robertson chronicles three parallel stories that converged in this important case. He tells the story of the plaintiffs-avid golfers who had learned the game while working as caddies and waiters-and their young lawyers, recent graduates from Howard University law school, and the Republican judge just appointed to the bench by President Eisenhower. Would the judge apply the new principles of Brown v. Board of Education to the questions before him? Would he use federal judicial power to override state laws and outlaw local customs?Fair Ways gives an uncommonly vivid picture of racial segregation and the forces that brought about its end. Using public case papers, public records, newspapers, and oral histories, Robertson has recreated the scene in Beaumont on the eve of desegregation, describing in detail the parallel white and black communities that characterized the Jim Crow caste system. Through this account, the forces at work in the South-education, military experience, rising expectations, the NAACP, and the rule of law-are personified dramatically by the golfers, the lawyers, and the judge.

Author Lee Wood recounts a personal journey to the game of golf and includes the stories, events and characters from the world of golf that motivated and inspired that journey - because no one gets to the game of golf alone. It is one that is shared from person to person and generation to generation. When we share our experiences, we just may inspire someone else to take up a game that can transform a life. "An unusually compelling tale that goes beyond avid sports-fan lore," - Dundee Press.
