Rating: Summary: The Finest Golf Instruction Book in Print Today Review: As a golfer of over 35 years, a collector of golf books, and a serious student of the game, I believe "The Four Cornerstones of Winning Golf" is the most easily understood instructional books published on golf and a must for both the beginner or advanced golfer. Key to successful golf is an understanding of the fundamental concepts of the swing as well as the ability to form simple, repeatable thoughts as you play a shot. Butch Harmon provides the reader tightly focused instructional text along with with first rate photos and illustrations essential to understanding the basics of the game. Unlike many books that stress the "simplicity of the game", Harmon minces no words on the importance of physical conditioning to achieve a higher level of play. It is this candor and his solid recommendations on how to development better golfing fitness that sets this books above the rest. In short, "The Four Cornerstones of Winning Golf" belongs on the bookshelf of any golfer wanting to better understand the game and improve his or her ability

Rating: Summary: informative Review: Butch should have added more illustrations or pictures of the points he was trying to make. It is a challenge to visualize what the text was saying. In golf, you gotta see it!

Rating: Summary: This Guy Knows the Game Review: He demonstrates a very good command of what many of us believe is the hardest game to play well. He and his family have long been among golf's greatest teachers.Here with four basic areas: ball striking, short game, mental game and physical conditioning, he gives any golfer wishing to improve four key areas to look into developing. Many scoff at such suggestions, thinking it isn't detailed enough. He not only provides the basics of the swing, but then what I think is excellent unique area of this is book is the section" "Harmon's Hints, or Just Do It!" To give but one example out of this excellent some twenty page suggestions (about 100 in all) is "Putting on Wet Greens" --- Allow for about half as much break." Most high handicappers don't want to work on their game, i.e. mental and conditioning and strategy like Butch teaches here. Just teach me to "grip and rip 300." This is definitely good book for all caliber players to benefit from.
