Description
This second edition provides more than 80 drills and practice techniques that should help golfers of all abilities improve their game. By following the book's sequential programme of lessons and drills and by studying the 180 illustrations that show proper form, golfers should learn to make great shots no matter which club they are using. The drills in the book provide instructions for increasing or decreasing the difficulty depending on ability level, and the accompanying list of "success checks" provide golfers with key points to remember when performing each drill. With this book, golfers will learn how to develop a consistently good swing motion; control the flight pattern of the ball by hitting the ball with the proper club angle; properly execute a pitch shot, chip shot and two different types of sand shots; develop a good putting stroke; and accurately read the contour of greens.
