Between Watson and Edwards, they won a total of eight majors together and had an unbreakable bond both on and off the course. The author tells the complete story of Edwards’ unbelievable life and gets him to open up about the secrets of the game that only a life-long caddie would know. Another emotionally charged but epic book! It will then go straight if the club face has closed to square to the target line at ball separation. Some say my methods are a little weird, but honestly, I’m winning tournaments, playing great golf, and have risen to top 10 in the world. I don’t think people can refute my methods anymore.

According to the same Sports Illustrated article from above, “Ben Doyle is one of golf’s most famous instructors and the most prominent teacher to have embraced The Golfing Machine. Doyle,70, teaches 364 days a year–his day off is Christmas–at the Golf Club at Quail Lodge in Carmel, Calif. He is a pro’s pro, having given lessons to half of the world’s top 50 instructors as well as to more than 25 PGA Tour players, including Elkington, Paul Azinger, Bernhard Langer, Johnny Miller, Curtis Strange and Grant Waite.” Final Thoughts on the Golfing Machine

Inside the book, you will learn about his practice routines, managing his golf game, short game tips and a lot more. Plus, he shares how the game has changed since 1962 and how you can play your best golf yet with tons of mental techniques.

There is little excuse for forcing the average weekend golfer, who has some strong tendency or other, to adopt any procedure or stroke pattern that calls for the elimination of that tendency. It is far easier to develop a stroke pattern that properly compensates for it. Change the factors that are easily controlled to fit those that are difficult to change. There is no effort to classify any stroke pattern as best or worst, but there is undoubtedly a best “central” stroke pattern for each individual. Tom is TPI Certified- Level 1, Golf Level 2, Level 2- Power, and Level 2- Fitness and believes that you cannot reach your maximum potential as a player with out some focus on your physiology.RECAP: So far, we understand that each golfer acts as a programmable machine that has 24 basic components to his/her golf swing, no matter how good/bad it is. When looking at each different golf swing, we can analyze EACH of these 24 components separately ( ideally through video analysis), and identify what types of variations (chapter 10) they have. During World War II Homer landed a job at Boeing, the country’s foremost manufacturer of aircraft. There, working in the engineering department, Homer found a home for his inventive spirit; there he created solutions to problems that seemed to elude others. He also became an instructor, teaching Boeing engineers how to apply the problem solving skills that came so naturally to him. From there, he worked for the Navy and continued to apply his ability to invent and problem solve until the naval base closed.

Underpinning these twenty-four components and their many variations, Mr Kelley identifies six key features every golf swing should have. He calls them the “Three Basic Essentials” and the “Three Basic Imperatives”. (1) following his first disastrous experience trying to play golf, Homer spent some time thinking about the relationships between the PHYSICS of striking a golf ball, the GEOMETRY of the golf swing, the ability of the human BODY and MIND to create a consistently dependable and repetitive golf swing motion. His second time playing the game was much more successful and Homer was hooked. He spent the next 24 years studying the game intensely, until he was ready to present his findings to the golfing world in the spring of 1963. Teachers are hindered by student’s attitudes, physiology, practice time and desire — it is up to the student to listen, absorb and apply the information given in the classroom (the lesson tee) in the best way for them personally. Sometimes this take two seconds, two minutes or two weeks, but if students review the lesson tape they are given they will see what the instructor is trying to do over the long haul. And if they have questions, they need to ask! That is what teachers are there for in the first place!Chapter 12 - The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT chapter of the book. This takes everything you have learned and attempts to describe how a golfer should actually swing a golf club. Although this chapter is hard to grasp alone, I am sure the resources I have provided below will clarify adequately. Another core concept that golf instructors can agree is on the importance of the grip. Homer goes in-depth explaining a fundamental, neutral grip for both the right and left hand. While I love all of the books above, let’s not forget about the iconic history and amazing stories of this great sport. If you are not looking for technical books about how to swing better, improve your short game or master your mind, take a look at some of these choices. 11.
