At last breaking 100

The very beginning of this book says it all - up, down, through. From the very first page I learned. This book is such an easy read that you probably won't need 21 days. It really simplifies the golf swing and you are pretty much guranteed to play better instantly. Its a must have especially for a new or weekend golfer.

Highly recommended for the weekend golfer

This book is written in everyday english and common sense for the weekend golfer to understand.Each chapter is a lesson that can be practiced in your yard or in the house...which is very convenient if getting to the range is difficult. The first six chapters alone are worth the price of the book. I've consistently broken 100 since reading this book and practicing it's lessons.

Step by Step Guide to a Productive Swing

If your swing is wild or anemic the first six lessons are worth the price of the book. Walter Ostroske takes you through a series of steps that will help you build a repeatable, reliable swing that has some oomph. His step by step approach has been a big help to me. I've taken lessons and could hit the ball well while the pro was watching, but we'd cover so much that I would quickly get it all muddled. Ostroske has a bunch of things to learn, but by learning and practicing them a few at a time I've been able to remember them and review them during my warm-up.The remaining lessons are also useful, focusing on different aspects of the game. Some are strategic. Others describe basic techniques, such as how to get out of a sand trap. You'll find yourself coming back to the lessons several times. With this book and "The One Minute Golfer" I've cut about a dozen strokes out of my game in the past 8 weeks.

improve your golf

I didn't follow the instructions in this book completely. Instead of following the 21 day program I read the book in one sitting. I was able to take several ideas from it however, and applied it during my next round of golf. I hit further and straighter. Some basic info that really works.

A coaching book that works

Based on the idea that the golf swing is similar for all clubs, this book sets out to simplify the game of golf.This is its first plus- most books make golf so complicated that duffers like me dispair of ever breaking 100. The authors give us real hope, because the ideas work.Each of the 21 chapters in the book is a lesson, and to get the most out of it you really need to be able to practice for up to half an hour each day for 21 days.Don't dispair if you don't have half an hour a day. The lessons will still help you, because the book is written for the weekend golfer. It will just take longer.Topics covered include all the usual basics, like swing, stance, grip, short game, long game, etc.The appeal of this book is that it approaches these topics from a point which lets the 100+ golfer see simple ways to improve.It also accepts the fact that if you are a 100+ golfer now, you will never realistically be able to out drive Long John Daley, or any other big hitter. So it teaches you to develop an intelligent, controlled game, rather than trying to blast "the little white rascal" out of sight.I thoroughly recommend this as a golf "primer". But even if you regularly go round in under 100, you will find tips here which will lower your score even further.
