The ABC's of golf teaches a new way to look at golf.

The author, Dan Kirby, goes through the normal steps of teaching golf but he also goes much further. He delves into the mental and spiritual aspects of the game that are rarely addressed in other instructional books. He has taught me to relax and stop trying so hard. The game of golf, in my mind, is 25% mechanical and 75% mental. He focuses on the mechanical side of golf of course, but more importantly, he explains the importance of concentration, the enjoyment of playing golf and just being alive. This new outlook on golf that I learned from reading Dan's book has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the game and has shaved a couple of strokes off my scorecard!!

A golf book that focuses on FUN!

Dan Kirby's book, "The ABC's of Golf," does what golf books should do, but don't. His book is simple, easy to understand, and is loaded with common sense. The hight light of Dans book is that he keeps the point sharply focused on the original goal of golf....and that is to have fun and enjoy yourself. Jim McLellan, golf professional...

Simplistic Presentation

"I appreciate the simple basic approach that your book takes to the game. Too often authors try to teach their readers to adapt to their particular style of play; whereas you recognize that not everyone has the same physical abilities and encourage the reader to take this into account. Your book should be able to help me knock 3 or 4 strokes off my score and perhaps enjoy the game even more than I do now".Sam Chaif,Technical Service Rep.Alliance products Inc., Montreal,QC

Your golf tips really work

"My fear of sand bunkers was playing havoc with my game. After reading the ABC's of golf's bunker chapter, I realized what I was doing...I was stopping for a 'coffee break'as you stated. Now when I land in the bunker, I just tell myself "NO COFFEE BREAK" and follow through. It really works."Kay Haggert, Dorval QC

Five Stars

"The ABC's of Golf is a golfer's secret weapon. It puts the mind back at the top of the list as the most important way to cut strokes off your game. You've taught me that the way you think is more important than the way you play." Stuart Robertson,CBC Radio Producer,Montreal,Que.
