by Dale H. Petersen (Author)

In July 1969 a young American GI-barely 21 years old and enticed into the military just a year prior by his dream of flying-finds himself on a plane bound for South Vietnam and the 101st Airborne Division as a CH-47 Chinook helicopter pilot. So begins a year-long journey in a combat zone of the Vietnam War-a journey of fear and exhilaration, pain and joy, sadness and survival. Surprises of both grief and delight pockmark the daily grind and accompanying countdown to the day he can fly back home to the USA (called by soldiers simply "the world") on the wings of a Freedom Bird. But the one-year journey in Vietnam was also the beginning of another journey-a spiritual journey of self-identity-which would take a lifetime to unfold. In his memoir, Dale Petersen uses descriptive prose and excerpts from letters to give the reader an intensely personal view of that life-shaping experience over 37 years ago. Golf 2 Tango 4 takes readers back in time to what it felt like to be 21, homesick and unsure of what lay ahead...but willing to reach down inside for the courage to find out.

What keeps you-a golf nerd-stuck isn't that you aren't athletic, your dad yelled at you, or you can't turn your hips properly; it's your self-sabotaging patterns of thinking and behaving.

He is author of The Moe Norman Story: The Feeling of Greatness and is enshrined in the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame as a writer.

Golf Ball Hunting (The bathroom book about the small game of the big game) takes a humorous and entertaining perspective of the lost and found golf ball. The lost ball is the nemesis of every golfer, in any round of golf. It is the loss of a stroke, loss of money and loss of confidence in your game.

Wilson walks you through a virtual scavenger hunt for a misguided (pun intended) golf ball, with tips and tricks to find golf balls for profit or just for fun. You'll find yourself laughing out loud as the author describes his adventures and experiences when hunting for the elusive lost spheroids;

• You'll understand search techniques and golf ball hunting safety.
• Discover where to find the lost golf ball "honey holes" in the darkest corners of the rough, woods and marsh, just off the lush fairway of every golf course, and how these lost balls are like finding "free money", at every turn, hook and slice.
• Learn interesting golf ball factoids and information regarding the impact of lost balls on the environment.

This book spans the imaginative side of life, from the balls point of view, and more serious comments on the negative impact these lost balls have on Mother Earth.

The reader has the chance to delve into the mind of a golf ball hunter and feel how hunting (and finding) golf balls brings satisfaction to your life by recovering balls that appear from distant golfer lands, and research the balls with unusual tattoos, such as "Joe's bachelor party 1969", or other intriguing logos.Discovering a lost ball brings joy and excitement to the new adopted golf ball parent (i.e., Golfer) and the formerly orphaned ball who may have the opportunity to land on a fairway or see the bottom of the pin cup again. Maybe that newly found ball will be the one that finally makes that "hole in one".

A popular column that has been published for over a year on the weekly Donga newspaper in South Korea, the highlight of Life and Golf written by the Enlightened one, and a guide to learning the intrinsic philosophy of an enlightened one's playing. Golf is a game where one experiences birth and death on the ground. Life is created when the ball is placed on the tee. The life that is born rushes toward one purpose. Towards the hole. We call it a grave, but it is also a reincarnation, the preparation for the next tee shot. There is no need to be afraid of death in life because birth rushes to the hole of death, but the next life is always ready. Experience this principle through golf. Your attitude toward life will be changed. You can find information at www.donanuri.org http: //cafe.daum.net/donanury

The most renowned and spectacular golf resorts in the world with expert ratings.

With lots of background information and amusing episodes from the history and world of golf.

The perfect gift for all golf enthusiasts and those who want to become one.

Golf is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to its superstar Tiger Woods, the sport has lost its reputation as a dusty pastime and has finally been able to call itself an Olympic sport again since 2016. But despite all the professionalization and opening up, the social prestige has remained. Golf clubs still attract celebrities - from Justin Timberlake to Catherine Zeta-Jones - who use every spare minute to improve their handicap.

Although traditional golf clubs such as the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews remain the benchmark, the choice of dream destinations for golf enthusiasts has multiplied with exciting new golf courses and golf resorts. The Coffee-Table-Book "The Ultimate Book - Golf" presents the most exclusive, sophisticated and spectacular golf resorts from around the world. Resorts that not only score points with their sophisticated layouts in charming landscapes - whether against an Alpine mountain backdrop or on tropical sandy beaches - but also with fantastic rooms, outstanding cuisine and comprehensive wellness offers.

There are also exciting stories from on and off the greens and fairways - of stars and cheats, club makers and space travelers, gangsters, boxers and billionaires. Because golf is more than just a sporting pastime, it is a lifestyle to which this book pays detailed homage.

Giraffes don't golf - they sing, dance and pretend the bunker is a beach! They hit their ball in the water, then make friends with a lonely otter. Even though they aren't the best, giraffes still have fun learning the sport. Find out what else giraffes do on the golf course in this colorful children's book filled with basic golf terms, and a lesson about having fun rather than being competitive.

by Mark R. Rivard (Author)

Synopsis: After fifteen years of teaching golf, it became apparent to Mark that many beginners are inhibited in their learning process by a lack of basic knowledge-and that many golf teachers don't recognize this. This book is designed to help the beginner and interested non-golfer leap past the awkward stage that each novice experiences.

Like French, English, or Japanese, the language of golf is unintelligible to someone learning it for the first time as an adult. Golf 101 is the definitive guidebook to the language and concept of golf. It fills in the gaps for golfers and non-golfers alike.

Autobiography: I grew up in a small town in North Central Michigan and began playing golf at the age of eight. As a teenager, I played competitively and continued to do so in college and the US Army from 1969 to 1971. In 1974, I became a PGA Golf Professional and spent 30 years teaching nearly 30,000 golf lessons to players of all levels. In 2003, I invented a putting aid called The PuttingTemplate (www.theputtingtemplate.com). In 2008, I joined my wife in the insurance industry, and together we own CCIS Insurance Group, a retail agency in Fresno, CA. Now, at age 77, I still play golf regularly and write sparingly.

Finish To The SkyThe Authentic Tournament Winning Golf Swing Of Canadian Master Ball Striker Moe Norman, I Personally Experienced.Volume TwoAuthor Greg LavernFinish to the Sky Volume Two was published with the intention to provide more golf instruction with some interesting chapters beyond my first book that would insure continued study of Moe Norman's historical golf swing. I am proud to honor Moe Norman as my teacher and close friend with this book in appreciation for the many years Moe simply devoted his time to our amazing golf relationship. Years of memories of Moe encouraged me to stand strong to uphold the truth of the authentic tournament winning golf swing Moe Norman taught me. On the golf course or throughout life Moe Norman strived to "Finish to the Sky."After reading this book the golfer is given the option to adopt the authentic Moe Norman style golf swing from set-up to finish or incorporate the knowledge into their own preferred swing style. Understand, every golfer in the world can benefit from Moe's downswing and his solid fundamentals. Similar to great ball strikers during the Hogan era was Moe Norman with his unique style and deliverance of straight shots that stood the test of time. IN MEMORY OF MOE NORMAN 1929 - 2004

Author Biography

ABOUT THE AUTHOR GREG LAVERN Meeting Moe Norman in 1974 was totally awesome for continuous golf instruction where I was taught his authentic tournament winning golf swing throughout the seventies and eighties. During that era some forty-two years ago Moe needed a close friend. I was very fortunate as a young professional to be provided with this great opportunity to play and practice golf with the best ball striker in the world. It was exciting for me to author Finish to the Sky Volume two as a follow-up to my first book. With two books published should deliver a comfort of truth to all golfers about the man and his golf swing in honour of Moe Norman. Encouraged by Moe I spent some time with Canadian greats Al Balding and George Knudson who were two other great ball strikers with excellent golf swings and valuable knowledge. From my experience with these great Canadian legends I can honestly say these teachings are far beyond anything you will hear on the golf channel. My educational achievements consisted of a Bachelor of Arts Degree and Diploma in Public Administration from the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continued further study and sought a Diploma in Public Relations from Eastern College Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada later in life. With a keen interest for the martial arts this inspired me to reach the level of black belt in karate that is helpful for the golf's mind and flexibility. Now at age sixty I still use the same golf swing Moe Norman taught me for many years.

The first thing about discovering your golf game is finding conviction, and then comes rhythm, balance, and patience. This book gives you a clear picture of the most efficient, powerful, and consistent swing ever explained in any golf book. There are a number of key variances in the Swing Formula from other methods, but the primary difference is in the technique used in the pivot. The value in this book is that it simplifies the golf swing into an easy, repeatable sequence of movements with a method and technique that has never previously been explained in a way that any golfer (beginner, senior, and golf professional) can understand and put into practice. The Swing Formula maximizes the efficiency of your body and will, improve performance, club speed, and consistency. It will also virtually eliminate back pain issues associated with all other swing methods. In fact, if there was ever an undiscovered path to the hidden secrets of the golf swing, this book has revealed them! There is a thirty minute video that can be also viewed. Individuals who adopt these principles into their game will hit the golf ball longer and straighter because it incorporates a swing movement that is elliptical in its rotation and has a powerful vertical drop on the downswing. The book details the foundation of the swing and includes important sections on the psychology of the game.

Chapter 1 opens this way:

They paved paradise in Richfield, Minnesota. Man, did they ever.

Emphasis on "paved," not so much "paradise."

Rich Acres Golf Course never was a threat to win any course-design awards, unless there is some kind of distinction for Top Fifty Fairly Flat Courses You Can Play. But the old Richfield municipal course was sporty, it was easily accessible at Cedar Avenue between I-494 and Minnesota 62 (the Crosstown Highway), it was immensely popular, and before the cement mixers steamed in and turned it into a gigantic airport runway, it had a certain charm to those who frequented it.

FINISH TO THE SKY Volume Three MY TEN DEFINITIVE GOLF LESSONS IN DEDICATION TO ALL THE CONFUSED GOLFERS IN THE WORLD. There are many golfers that simply need to empty their head and read this wonderful book cover to cover with a confident open mind. I can honestly say, " any dedicated golfer I teach in Canada continues to hit fairways and greens the majority of the time." I personally learned from the best ball striker in the world the incredible Moe Norman who passed away in 2004. The golf swing I was taught is timeless, " The world class instruction throughout this book might not start a golf revolution though should rescue the vulnerable confused golfer bombarded from mind boggling internet golf tips." Volume Three puts the icing on the cake for the sweetest golf shots you will ever hit with these ten lessons will magically shape your entire game. Remember Golf knowledge is real power on the golf course. This book presents My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons directly from the golf mind of Canadian Author and Master Golf Instructor, Greg Lavern. Throughout the ten lesson chapters you will consume valuable information that clearly identifies, in dedication to all the confused golfer's in the world, the very best of golf swing knowledge the average or advanced golfer will ever encounter or be introduced to. A complete instructional overview is provided from the moment you grip the golf club, with explanation on the golf swing and how to score, and further explores inner techniques of how to manage your golf game. My lesson presentation is a major source of information for the golfer who wants to hit the golf ball straight and pure. I can teach most golfers using the contents of this book to improve their golf game with my incredible insight and knowledge based on perfection learned personally from some of golf's greatest ball strikers in Canada. With numerous years of practice and playing golf with Moe Norman who many around the world consider the greatest ball striker of all time. Previous books written in the FINISH TO THE SKY series identify this wonderful experience that Lavern has captured and passed on to the golfing world, which has willingly acknowledged: FINISH TO THE SKYThe Golf Swing Moe Norman Taught Me: Golf Knowledge Was His Gift To Me. FINISH TO THE SKYThe Authentic Tournament Winning Golf Swing Of Canadian Master Ball Striker Moe Norman, I Personally Experienced.It would be fair to say that through the years of instruction under the mentorship of Moe Norman I paved my understanding of the golf swing and golf mind that was conditioned on the unknown. Other great ball strikers on occasion such as George Knudson and Al Balding, who were champions on the US PGA tour, provided some gems of golf knowledge in person while I was a dedicated student of the game. The incredible professional's I was fortunate to learn under certainly qualifies me for a general high standard of instruction with My Ten Definitive Golf Lessons (Volume Three) in the FINISH TO THE SKY series.With all the swing gimmicks, and golf instructors with plenty of their passed back-and-forth opinions from self observation, have little understanding of how the golf swing actually works which has been clearly shown from historical application. I ask these instructors of authority who they ever learned under that was a great ball striker, so useful knowledge can be passed on to the golfing community without confusion? Its unlikely the majority of golf instructors today could provide a well known name of a great player or ball striker as their mentor.My Ten Definitive Golf LessonsFINISH TO THE SKY (Volume Three) will set a general standard of published instruction, this needed to be written at sixty three years of age while I am still alive, for future generations to learn from my golf swing and ball striking experiences of enjoyment and simplification.GREG LAVERNCanadian Golf Author/Master Golf Instructor

Author Biography

ABOUT THE AUTHOR For over fifty years I have been dedicated toward striking the golf ball in an attempt to become one of the most knowledgeable on the golf swing worldwide. My exclusive interaction with great Canadian ball strikers far exceeds the general instructional information passed back and forth amongst many golf instructors or golf analysts. I know how to consistently put the golf club face on the golf ball square to hit the golf ball straight. I also have the ability to pick-out the hidden things in the golf swing other golf instructors are unaware of. Unfortunately, the rightful recognition was never provided to this author/instructor in an attempt to protect some of the so called golf geniuses in the lime light that only think they know. At age sixty three I still face unwanted health issues from a severe heart attack that almost took my life in 2014. With continued exercise I hope to create some recent videos pertaining to the golf instruction displayed in the Finish to the Sky series. With credentials as a University/College graduate I have utilized my education to author golf books from my personal instructional experience. Achievement of a black belt in Chito Ryu karate in 2002 is a style that originated in Okinawa south of Japan. The martial arts have become useful for flexibility and mind control that I have incorporated into advanced instruction with relation to golf. The mind and body must work in balance and cooperation with each other. I have promoted identification of these similarities for years in order to play great golf and strike the golf ball consistently straight down the fairway on a daily basis. However, I welcome constructive criticism along with your enthusiasm or support for the only golf swing I teach. Why would I teach any other golf swing when I learned from the greatest ball striker in the world for many years? Regards, Greg Lavern Canadian Golf Author/Master Golf Instructor
