One of the Best Golf Books

Gary Players "Golf Begins at 50" was a timely book for me, as I came back to golf at age 51 after a 25-year break while I was doing other things (backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, etc.). This book includes instruction on all phases of the game. It isnt a beginners book. Rather, it is for experienced golfers who want to continue playing well and improving after they reach the age where they arent as strong and flexible as they used to be. Among other things, Player teaches you how to get extra distance by hitting a draw, and how to save your back with his so-called "walk through" swing. He also gives good advice about playing intelligently, and recommends exercises for physical fitness over 50. Player was one of the first pros to recognize the importance of physical fitness for good golf, and nowadays most pros and top amateurs agree with him. In my collection of about 30+ golf books, this is one of my 5 favorites. I recommend it for both men and women, and you dont have to wait until you are 50 to benefit from it. -- Bill from Bangor

simple, precise, effective

Great book! I have read everything out there and have tried to incorporate the writings of many teachers. Dr. Jorgensen, although a well-regarded physicist, writes like he prefers to be on the golf course. I find his theory, and practical implementation of the golf swing the best around.I wish he would write on the short game, putting, ect.
