Customer Reviews

Rock Solid Golf

This book is a golfers dream. A simple instructional book that covers all aspects of the game. The only book I have found that writes out a practice program for you and tells you how to find a teacher as well. Great read and well written.

Golf Instuction

This book explains the fundamentals of the golf swing in a clear, concise easy to understand language. It also presents a realistic explaination of the practice and committment necessary to improve one's golf game and provides guideance on how to develop a self improvement program. Probably the best golf book I have read since the Ben Hogan classic analysis of the golf swing many years ago.

One of a kind

This book is easy to read. It has humor and solid instruction for all level of golfers. Certainly worth giving to those I play golf with.

Solid Advice - No Tips

I'm biased here - because I'm the ghost writer - but Rock Solid Golf is the perfect book for any golfer of any level who is a little bit confused right now. Let's face it, everyone is a golf teacher. Even my dentist tries to give me golf lessons! And advice comes from TV, magazines, the Internet, etc. Here, at last, is a clear blueprint for success. Dana tells it like it is - based on her over 20 years as a golf teacher - and several years as a GOLF Magazine Top 100 teacher.Rock Solid Golf does not offer instant "drop 20 shots" advice. Instead, and refreshingly, it's based on the fundamentals and what works. Following this model will not be easy, but it will ultimately produce excellent results. All the great golfers, including Tiger Woods, pay a lot of attention to their fundamentals. Dana explains why.I'm as good a testimonial as there is. Since working with Dana on this book, I've improved significantly and even won a small tournament last summer. Two years ago, I would never have won anything.The book also includes useful chapters on fitness, how to find a good teacher, the mental game, practice, and, of course, the short game.Dana's advice isn't trendy and it's not always easy, but her model works.If you need to know more, please email me at any time. If you really want to get better at golf, you need to buy this book.
