Golf —the romance of the socialite, or more
conventionally, the social-elite—is trending across all
social groups these days. Authored by an avid golfer and
PGA veteran writing under a penname, this Smart &
Easy Guide is a joy to read for anyone who is interested
in Golf. Written like with the same rhythm and control
that define golf itself, the book introduces you to a
number of subtle factors and simple techniques that make
the difference between winning and losing. This book
would help you learn: • How to achieve your balance and
focus while golfing • How to leverage wind, weather, and
golf course condition to your advantage • How to hold
the clubs, attain proper posture and swing • When to use
which particular club, and the qualities of each • Tips
and technique for putting • Avoiding and getting out of
golf traps • Golfing software and where to use them •
Golfing etiquettes • And, most importantly, how to
develop a winning habit “To find a man’s true character,
play golf with him”, said P G Wodehouse. However, you
can't prove your mettle in golf unless you are good at
it. Losing game after game makes you hate the sport,
until an occasional win lifts your spirits. After
reading this book, your triumph in golf would not depend
on chance as much as it used to. Those who have played
golf may be aware of its addictive potential. It's a
game of tremendous drama and intense emotion. Winning at
golf can mean living on the high, while losing game
after game can drain your confidence, apart from causing
extreme frustration. Thankfully, Smart & Easy Guide
to Winning at Golf is a book that seems to contain all
the secrets to golfing success in its 60 or so pages.
The absorbing style of the book engrosses you right from
the first chapter, which talks about the importance of
balance in golf and compares it to Zen meditations. The
following chapters give you a quick rundown through the
basics of golf—the wind, the weather and the warm
up—before exploring the more intricate subjects of
stance and grip in a simple and practical manner. The
properties of golf courses; the use of clubs, woods and
putter; putting techniques and tips; golf traps;
pitching and sand wedging—it's all in there, described
with great simplicity. The guide contains valuable tips
and insider secrets that could only have come from a
professional golfer like the author himself. Toward the
end of the book, there are a couple of chapters on
golfing software that professional golfers use for
tracking their handicaps or improving their swings.
There's practically no area of golfing that the book
doesn’t touch. It can be rightfully termed as a golfer's
handbook or a golfing manual for beginners and
intermediaries. If you are struggling at the Tees or the
Greens, or maybe in the Roughs, this Smart & Easy
Guide will take you to the next level. Following its
easy, step-by-step guidance, you can overcome your
shortcomings and play golf like pros. It's a good read
for any golfer, though.
