The Wisdom of Harvey Penick: Lessons and Thoughts from the Collected Writings of Golf's Best-Loved Teacher

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding
Review: For us average golfers the tips are worth 5 strokes a game. I now understand more about the mechanics of the game after reading Harvey's books, than from all the instruction tips in monthly golf magazines. An entertaining and helpful book for weekend golfers. A must read for young and new golfers. Great for both men and women.

Summary: Mr. Penick Encourages & Guides Without Being Technical
Review: This book provides the best of Penick's great anecdotes. He has so many golf related stories from his days of teaching, coaching, and assisting, and each one sheds a new perspective on this timeless game. His best contribution to golf writing is his ability to provide clear visuals in association with sound golfing principles. He doesn't leave the reading wondering how to implement an idea, but puts it in concrete terms by providing examples from his own life as well as the people he coached. Apart from the wonderful golf tips, this is just a plain good read, which borders on an autobiography. If you love the sport and you love life, you will truly enjoy this book.

Summary: Golf Widsom in Plain Language: A Classic
Review: This just might be the best single book a serious player should own, regardless if your handicap is 3 or 30. The insights into the game and the simple techniques Penick suggests are just plain right most of the time. If Penick is good enough for Crenshaw and Kite, it's worth the time - it's quick anyway.
