The techniques explained in this golf instruction book do not reveal Tiger Woods' own predilections, but how he took care to make it a guide for everyone, men or women, young or old, tall or short. The book is structured differently from other books, starting at the green and progressing backwards - just the way Tiger learned to play. Its contents include: the yearn to learn; the putting green - last things first; a swing built to last; sand play - make the hard look easy; iron play - knocking down the flag; nail your fairway woods; the driver - go with all you've got; when golf gets ugly; how to manage your game; and making golf fun. About the AuthorTiger Woods is the greatest golfer in the world today, a phenomenon as an amateur and an even greater phenomenon since he turned pro in 1995 - and won everything. ReviewsWoods's very popular book of personal golf techniques has been transformed into a gem of an instructional audiotape. He teaches the listener the essential physical and psychological aspects of golf, from putting and the short game to the tee shot and the mechanics of one magnificent drive. There is a photo booklet that shows proper positioning of the body, hands, and club for each aspect of Woods's game, which is essential to understanding his methods; keeping track of that booklet in circulation is a potential problem. Listeners are encouraged to stop the tape, examine the booklet, and practice the techniques throughout. There are enough illustrations from Woods's golf exploits to keep the program interesting and to motivate the listener to pick up a club and give it a try. The author explains golf down to the lifestyle: technique, continuous practice, exercise, diet, attitude, and love for the game. Excellently read by Walter Franks, this is very highly recommended.
