Description:
Forget the red tees. LPGA professional Helen Alfredsson is here to tell women golfers about full throttle golf. "So what the hell is full throttle golf, you ask. It's about playing with power and confidence, but also humor and fun. It's about being who you are out on the golf course, not who some staid golf manual says you should be." This irreverent and highly readable guide to improving skills and attitude combines personal anecdotes from the author's career with good advice. In a chapter titled "The Rhythm Method: Slower Is Better," Alfredsson tees off on the preconceived notions about female athletes by advising her audience to "go out and practice some gentle chip shots without using your arms too much, but rather your whole body." The results, she predicts, will be stronger shots than those with a full swing. The point of this exercise is to discover where power comes from; it's not in the muscles, it's in the swing, the rhythm generated by the movement of the entire body. A good swing may be hard to find, but Helen Alfredsson can point you in the right direction.
