Summary: An outstanding book!
Review: A couple of years ago I wrote 'the only book you should read is Jimmy Ballard's 'How to Perfect Your Golf Swing', well here is another. It is true that this book is based on Jimmy Ballard's teachings and for this reason you must own this book too. Mr McTeigue has reduced the swing to a simple minimum. This a great thing for the golfing world. His lighthouse drill is excellent, it will help anyone feel the correct swinging sensations a good player has. As a golf instructor I can tell you what works and what doesn't, and this works. The book is based on sound fundamentals, is easy to understand and is simply to pracice. What more does a golfer want? Most books are far too complicated and you cannot put into work what the author has written because it is too difficult. We need a plan and Mr McTeigue has given the world one. Do yourself a favour, buy this book and practice what is in it.

Summary: Made the game much easier and more fun
Review: After struggling with inconsistency for years -- on any given day I could shoot anywhere from 85 to 100 -- I was amazed to find this little book which exactly addresses my big problem -- The DREADED HIT IMPULSE! After just one read, and two buckets of balls at the practice range, I have a much-improved swing. I completely understand what I need to do to hit it better consistently. I can't believe how much better and more athletic this "effortless swing" feels. The most bizarre thing is that it feels so easy, and yet my shot are going a lot *farther*. I read a lot of other golf books over the past 12 years, but I wish I had this book when I started this frustrating game. I also wish the author had a book on the short game which was just as clear and consise.

Summary: Perfect for Beginning and Intermediate Golfers
Review: Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the best golf instruction books are necessarily written by touring pros. As is the case with many things in life, teaching something like the golf swing often takes a unique set of skills. And the great thing about McTeigue's book is that he knows how to take what most of us perceive as a "complicated" swing and reduce it to a few basic steps. By following these (and not having to try to remember a dozen little things during the swing), it's easy to commit the golf swing to "muscle memory" and start having fun. And after all, isn't that the reason we're playing this game?

Summary: This book could make every duffer a decent golfer
Review: For any golfer who has tried and tried to improve but never really mastered an effective, effortless swing, Michael McTeigue's concise, jargon-free instruction could produce startling results in astonishingly short time. I don't know how many times I'd read about how a good swing should "feel," but only McTeigue's brilliant clarity actually showed me how to achieve it. Without saying much I had not heard before, McTeigue puts it together in a way that enabled me to equal my personal best score the first time out after reading it, and I look forward to further improvement. If you struggle to break 90, this book could have you realistically setting your sights on breaking 80. I wish I had read this book years ago.

Summary: Herein lies the true secret to playing much better golf.
Review: Having taken hundreds of lessons, attending several top golf schools, I am seeing ( and feeling ) that "connection" is the lost secret to good golf, really good golf. The book is so short, it's hard to believe it smokes other much larger, golf instruction books. It's hard to believe that all too rarely do we hear about this "connection" of the arms to the body and how essential it is to the reproduction of distance and accuracy. All the pros and top players have it ... its almost like they don't want us to know about it.

Summary: McTeigue takes the mystery out of power and consistency.
Review: I am convinced that had I read this book before I spent years of developing and ingraining bad habits, that I could have learned to experience the "joy" of golf much sooner. "The Keys" are not some revolutionary principles of golf, but they are the core fundamentals necessary for maximizing your potential. McTeigue's practical teaching methods will have the "dog wagging the tail", and have you saying "So that is how the pros do it.".

Summary: A Great Instructional Book for Understanding the Full Swing
Review: I have invested the last year building a correct, accurate and repeatable golf swing. During that time I've read more than twenty golf instruction books. My readings have helped build my understanding of the golf swing and have supplemented my golf lessons. This book is one of the lesser known golf instructional books by a relatively unknown author. Through my readings I have found that the most well-known professional golfers don't necessarily produce the best golf instructional books. For a clear, fundamental description of the golf swing, this book is one of the best. With the instruction in the book, your understanding of the body movements required to create a correct golf swing will grow rapidly. Using the instruction in this book, my golf swing improved dramatically in a very short time. I highly recommend this book. If you are just beginning to play golf or if you are a long time hacker wanting to learn a proper and correct golf swing, this is the book that will give you the instruction you need to improve rapidly.

Summary: At Last!
Review: I have read a lot of books on the golf swing. I play to a 5 handicap but never hit the ball the way I wanted to. McTeigues book is easy to understand and absorb. It has eliminated the "thinking'. Great, great buy

Summary: Saw the man work - pure genius
Review: I met Mr. McTeigue at a picnic at a local park. We have common friends (uncommon people, for sure) and he was giving an impromptu lesson. For each person, he had them swing a club a few times and then gave them some simple little trick to do. "At the top of your backswing, count out loud: one, two. Then start your swing." Amazingly, this made a huge difference to Draak's swing. He was giving each person a different tip. I asked where to get more of these tips and he pointed me to the book. I bought one for myself and now I have given away several to other friends. Clearly he is the Golf Whisperer.

Summary: Making the Golf swing simple
Review: I played golf for several years and used several golf instructors before discovering McTeigue's book. It changed my game in a very short period of time. It made my swing into a simple and natural movement and eliminated the need to pay attention to a lot of junk I had learned that turned out to be irrelevant to a good shot outcome. If I had to throw out all golf books I have accumulated over the years, save one, McTeigue's book would be the one I kept. I reread it from time to time to remind me of the basics. It is an easy and fun read.
