"Fine Tuning the Golf Swing with PGA Golf Professional John
"Jack" Henry Saffold"
I may have played this game for quite sometime now but that does
not mean that I am properly executing my golf swing for my self and
for my game. Not until I have, actually, visually translated
everything that I have read, learned, applied and experimented on
about the golf swing, that I have begun to understand which type of
golf swing works for me. I encourage you to try the "fine tuning
tips" I have included in this book. They may just work for your
golf swing and enhance your enjoyment of the game And why it may
work this time?
Albert Einstein, once wrote:
""Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is
limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces
the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and
understand.""
That is the key to a creative life and to any sport. And it is
very much applicable to the golf swing. Much like a visual artist,
we must start to learn how to maximize the use of the "third eye."
The "third eye" is what Einstein calls imagination. In this book,
we will very lightly touch on the basics of the golf swing which
most of you already know but will proceed right away to how we can
use our imagination in executing the proper golf swing.
"Introduction by
John "Jack" Henry Saffold: "
"I met Glenn Bautista at the Hillcrest Golf Club in Alvin,
Texas, in 2011 and he immediately became part of the group. Glenn
asked for golf lessons, I readily agreed. Right away, as we
started, I noticed he possessed a sense of humor and showed a great
ability to grasp and understand the golf swing as I presented it to
him."
"We worked through grip, posture and balance and, then, the full
swing to balance. We covered putting, chipping and pitching the
ball. We talked about the philosophy of the game and the point of
taking the "Practice Swing" from the practice area to the
course."
"Glenn's book contains a lot of procedural information and I
very much enjoyed reading it. I hope it will widen your
understanding of golf from a visual artist's perception.

There are many instructional books about golf. There are many
inspirational books about golf. I have not added to this mess. I
have tried to address the vast majority of golfers, the mediocre
players that continue to play lousy golf despite all the efforts to
instruct and inspire them. There is no attempt to add new
techniques or thoughts that will elevate the lousy golfer to the
sparse ranks of the accomplished golfer. There is an effort to make
golf a little more fun and the nineteenth hole a more significant
part of the game. I couldn't pass up poking a little fun at a lot
of others as well. I know little about playing accomplished golf.
Few do. I do know how to play lousy golf. Professional golf is a
sport and it's played by talented athletes just like any other
sport. Other professional sports depend on paying spectators, many
of which have never even played the game. Golf may have spectators,
but mostly it's got a bunch of hackers buying expensive equipment
and paying green fees to maintain the courses for those few that
actually know how to play golf. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with this. It's just the nature of the game. It's been that way for
hundreds of years and I expect it will go on for hundreds more.
Through some warped sense of logic I've come to believe it takes a
lousy golfer to inspire pathetic golfers. Good golfers know little
about playing lousy golf. Most folks just don't know what to do
with the advice they give. Golf's frustrating enough as it is.
Golfers are constantly bombarded by game improvement gizmos and
instructional material to improve their game. The goal is to reach
your potential. I don't think there has ever been a golfer that
thought they had reached their potential. It's a disease. The cure
would be constant improvement. Maybe it's time to work on the
symptoms; those sinking feelings after your usual lousy score, or
the trauma of returning to normal after one of those rare
exceptional rounds. Golf's a good game, really. Learn to enjoy it.
Golf life can be good for the lousy golfer. You get to remember the
feel and sight of a well struck ball. The accomplished golfer only
gets to remember those that aren't stuck well. You can celebrate at
the nineteenth hole remembering the few highlights of your golf
round. The good golfers just get to cry in their beer over the few
lost strokes that shouldn't have been. Best of all, the lousy
golfer gets to win just as many matches as the good golfer. Golf
has handicaps. It's a strange thing. You can win on the score card
while getting your clock cleaned on the course. I guess that's just
the concession the good folks had to make so they'd have somewhere
to play. It's no wonder they stick to themselves.
A series of golf tips from over 60 years of playing golf. I am a
scratch player. The first time I shot my age was 62. I am hopeful
that this legacy of golf tips is helpful to the next generation of
players.
The man who went around the United Kingdom on a G-String sets off
to cross the United States on a golfing odyssey. His goal is to
play golf with whoever happens to feature on the front page of the
newspaper in each town he visitsthose, that is, who havent been
shot or arrested.Along the way he encounters an alligator-hunting
New York deli owner, a clown wedding, a blind baseball commentator,
a 91-year-old beach queen, a 200-year-old cactus, the runner-up in
a New Orleans waiter race, and a Stevie Wonder impersonatorbut
would any of them play golf?
This is the Female Edition on how to play winning golf A great tool
to carry with you when you are playing. Learn the tips that all the
professionals that win on the PGA tour use to develop a winning
golf game. Easy to follow and fun to read.
This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.
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.
