About this deal

The face angle that you use at impact is another key ingredient in the overall success or failure of the swing. Ben has his own course, designed by Ben and his partner, at the Barton Creek Country Club layout, a ten-minute drive away from us.

But I’m sure that if I just re-read the book without my teaching pro with whom to discuss my thinking, I easily could end up contorted and flailing at the ball worse than before. Another way is to put your iron down on the grass with a square face, and you will see where the manufacturer designed the club to be played. It's not that it's not worth more money, it is, but a second hand copy is a wiser purchase - I've marked mine with yellow marker for the phrases/words I think are exceptionally handy, and I'd not have done that with an expensive hardback copy. Harvey’s simple instruction and colorful story-telling makes me see why so many golfers recommend this to others interested in the game. They were to make the tree grow higher until it was the right size to make the ball sit down and stop near the hole.There are so many areas of this book to learn from, so I will just list some of my favorite quotes to give you an idea of what he has to say.

A ball that dies in the hole will fall in, while a putt struck too hard will hit the pin and spin away.A few of these lessons have already had a wonderful impact on my game, and certainly have made it more enjoyable. And with 50 years of teaching golf as a pro, Harvey has amassed a knowledge of golf teaching, technique, and philosophy that rivals anyone. Try holding your right shoulder back as long as possible to give your left side a chance to get through. What are some of the juicy notes he has made in those sixty years, well, your gonna have to read this and find out for your self. I know it exasperates Penny that I would rather watch Tommy putt than eat the lunch she has to force on me.

Now, 78 years later, he is still there, dispensing simple wisdom and common-sense advice to famous pros and high-handicap amateurs alike.

Extend your Archives visit at home and at school with products developed especially by the National Archives Foundation. The cynic in me wants not to like that, but Penick's sincerity and simple means of conveying info and his ability to show he truly wants to teach people is really infectious.

It's a folksy story-based approach to conveying his ideas about golf and, by extension, every day life. You will absolutely find segments and teachings which can be applied to your game if you’re looking for a way to adjust the issues you face on the course. Mistakes made in the grip and ball position are mistakes made before the swing that may ruin any grand plans you have for the shot.But whether it is for beginners, medium players, experts or children, anything I say in my book has been tried and tested with Success.
