Rating: Summary: Effortlessly putting it all together! Review: When I stumbled upon Michael McTeigue's book, I'd just about given up on the game of golf. I had so many swing keys and "positive" thoughts swimming around my head that I'd lost my passion for the game. I felt like a poster child for the frustrated golfer. Well, that's all changed after reading this book.If you're sick and tired of trying to micro-manage your full swing: right elbow here, left forearm there, head over here, etc., this is a book you must read. In my case, I literally stopped golfing while I read, understood, and practiced the keys outlined in the book. I would highly recommend that approach. This is the first golf book I've read that shows you how to develop a full swing with rhythm and timing. Now I swing the club at 75% of my previous effort level and hit the ball 5~10 yards further per club with more accuracy than I can remember. Moreover, I believe that I can "feel" my swing better than I ever have. Oh, and by the way, my handicap is down 8 strokes from a 22 to 14. Now, just try to wipe the stupid grin off my face as I stand over the ball on a 200 yard Par-3 over water!
Rating: Summary: Jimmy Ballard redo Review: While the advice is this book is solid, it appears to come almost directly from Jimmy Ballard theories i.e. weight shift, keeping the triangle, connection, etc. The "lighthouse" concept is covered in a drill in George Knudson's book on Natural Golf. After contemplating the many conflicting theories of grip, setup, mental pictures, and contrasting those theories with the widely varying mechanics of top tour stars, I think golf is a combination of reasonable fundamentals, lots of practice and focus, the makeup of your body, and just plain talent. I recommend the golf instruction books by George Knudson, John Redmon, and a difficult to find book by "Wild" Bill Melhorn (a tour player that Ben Hogan called the best ball striker he ever saw). These authors take the "natural" approach to the golf swing, i.e., working with the natural tendencies of the body.
Rating: Summary: Bogie Buster Review: Wow! What a book. This book is incredibly clear, concise and easy to read as well. I'm now hitting more consistently, and getting more distance and accuracy too! Who could ask for more? Not me, I recommend this book and the newly re-released video to every golfer out there. This book will help you to "bust all your bogies" and turn them into par or better.

Rating: Summary: Wow.... Review: You know, I never thought these how-to-golf books would help. But after a friend told me I had to read this one I decided that my golf game couldn't get much worse. So I did, and Wow, I can honestly say that I am swinging better and my overall game has improved. The only problem now is my friends are saying I am going to have to get fewer strokes on the bets. Anyway can't recommend it enough!
