Golf

by Rex Lardner (Author)

One of Sports Illustrated's Top 100 Sports Books of All Time

For less expense than a lost bet on the links, you can learn how to get "out of the bunker and into the trees." Rex Lardner, a unique stylist who hit his best shots when in a towering rage, reveals the secrets every golfer needs to know, including how to loft a ball out of your own trouser cuff; how to properly grip the 2-wood when smashing it against a tree; and how to hit special "trick" shots--the fade, the slice, the yip--without a club if necessary.

Out of the Bunker and into the Trees is essential reading for those looking to correct typical golfing faults. If you are an inconsistent putter, Lardner demonstrates how you never need to take more than six putts to hole out on any green. Too much reliance on advice from strangers? Lardner presents an object lesson with his traumatic experiences teaching pros.

Originally published in 1960, Out of the Bunker and into the Trees is so funny that various chapters have been widely reprinted in sports magazines. Readers today continue to enjoy this delightful parody of golf and golfers by a humorist who claimed to have discovered the reason people play golf: "to destroy themselves."

Like no other sport, golf obsesses those poor souls who hope to master its subtleties and abundant complexities. One shot is hit like a dream, the next a nightmare. As a result, the game's disciples have embraced any and all techniques endorsed by pros and hackers, poets and philosophers (these days a good walk is often spoiled by tripping over a sandtrap's worth of Zen meditations and mystical tomes). But while so many have journeyed through golf's metaphysics, no one has presented a readable, compelling look at the science of the game -- until now.

• The Physics of the Sweet Swing: The universal principles shared by all those rhythmic and well-timed swings you see on TV but not in the mirror
• Mind Over Muscle: How the brain affects and controls the movements of the body (and why confidence is the golfer's most indispensable tool)
• Getting the Ball from Here to There: Decoding the vagaries of launch angles, spin, lift, and gravity that make the difference between walking happily down the fairway and tramping into the bunkers
• Probability and Statistics: Understanding the mathematics of golf, and a by-the-numbers appraisal of golf's greatest legends

by Carl Lohren (Author), Larry Dennis (Author)

In 1966, Carl Lohren made a breakthrough, and One Move to Better Golf explains it all. Highly regarded as an instructor and player in the New York Metropolitan PGA Section, Lohren formed his ideal golf swing after years of studying master golfer Ben Hogan. His eyes were opened at the 1964 Carling Open when he watched Hogan select an 8-iron and take a short swing on a 150 yard shot. To Lohren's surprise, Hogan's ball exploded off the clubface and wound up ten feet from the pin! This inspired Lohren to start his swing by turning his left shoulder as Hogan had. Immediately upon doing so, Carl's ball flight took on a different look: it had a piercing trajectory, with plenty of carry and roll. Carl continued to refine his method, so that in 1968, he won the NY State PGA Championship in a playoff over former Ryder Cup player Bill Collins.

In One Move to Better Golf, Lohren explains a simple method of starting the golf swing with one move that incorporates the fundamentals. In doing so, he gives you a framework of confidence for your swing. He also provides students with a complete methodology of the physical and mental preparation necessary for effective shotmaking.

Whether you are a low or high handicapper, One Move to Better Golf will give you a clear understanding of the total golf swing.

Carl Lohren has become best known for his innovative methods of golf instruction over his 50-year career of professional competition and teaching. Lohren worked as a PGA club professional, improving upon his game and studying the best ball strikers on the PGA Tour. After his mastery of the one move, Carl continued to excel as a tournament player, winning more professional tournaments, qualifying for the Champions Tour, in addition to competing in 11 major championships, 15 PGA Tour events, and numerous international tours.

The Immortal of Golf was born in humble circumstances in a weavers cottage. His father, John Morris (1777-1846), was a weaver and letter carrier as the family resided on North Street in the ancient city of St. Andrews. Tom, at the age of fifteen, was apprenticed to the renowned Allan Robertson, champion golfer, unbeaten in his lifetime, and continued his employment as a journeyman. Since being bred in the home of golf and also instructed in the ancient game it is not surprising that Morris began to acquire skillfulness in the sport and began earning distinction on the links. In one of the first public appearances of the young professional he was a partner with Robertson, and played in a match for 400 pounds against William and James Dunn, known as the Dunn Brothers of Musselburgh and Morris and Robertson succeeded on the last day of the match, after being four down with eighteen to play, in winning the match. A match for the ages.

Before Tiger Woods--and before Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan, and even Bobby Jones, there was the great Canadian George S. Lyon.

This first account of Canada's little-known golf legend, Olympic Lyon traces his incredible journey from small-town Ontario to the final match of the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis.

At age thirty-seven, the fire insurance salesman and natural athlete from Toronto picked up a golf club for the first time. Just a few years later, he faced the world's best golfers--men half his age--in a grueling week of competition for the ultimate prize: the first Olympic gold medal for golf and a magnificent Championship Trophy.

A meticulously researched and wildly entertaining work of historical fiction, Olympic Lyon chronicles Lyon's remarkable career and the sudden rise in popularity of golf in North America. It weaves in such momentous events as the War of 1812, the Louis Riel Rebellion, the St. Louis World's Fair, and the Great Fire of Toronto.

He has to learn the ins and outs of televising golf, and how to deal with the hyper-intense executive producer and director, Ben 'the Assassin' Oswald, as they get ready to broadcast the PGA Championship, staged at international developer Conrad Gold's luxury club in upstate New York.

And then the bodies begin to pile up. First is a fellow announcer on the crew, then the assistant to Oswald in the control room. So as Hacker trades quips in the booth with Billy Joe 'the Boz' Bosworth, he's gotta figure out who's killing the network guys, one by one.

It's another golf-crazy mystery from the author Golfweek Magazine calls "the Dick Francis of golf."

Love That Golf - It CAN Be Better Than You Think By DonHerold Feeling that most golf books are written by top-flight professionals who are miles removed from the problems of the ordinary deskbound, musclebound amateur, Don Herold believed there was room for one golf book written sympathetically by a learner for fellow learners. He believes every golf club should have a consulting psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. His book doesn't pretend to profundity along these lines, but he is certain that it will give comfort and consolation to all fair-to-mediocre golfers in their darker hours, largely by improving their mental attitude. The pros tell us how to hit a golf ball 250 yards. After all, that's not what we want to know. What we want to know is how to hit a golf ball. As one who has had more fun out of golf, than anything else in life, the author felt an urge to write a book to help all golfers get more fun and less distress out of the game. Don Herold says "Many golfers lead lives of quiet desperation. That is what I want to remedy, in this book." Contents Include: - "That Happy Adventure Golf" - You Can't Mix Golf With Hate, Or Haste - You Can't Score if You Can't Putt - Getting Those Approach Shots up for One Putt, I Hope - Don't Let The Long Shots Panic You - You've Gotta Take Aim - Let Golf Play You - "I'm Too Old to Learn, I'll Never Play Any Better" - Don't Be So Damned Dull - Good Golf is Shaken Only Out of a Practice Bag - Traps and Other Troubles - Along About Here

When the European sport of golf found its way to Long Island and took root in the Hamptons at Shinnecock Hills in 1891, its journey across the Atlantic served as the opening drive of a recreational era that now spans three centuries. Home to more than 130 golf courses, the area boasts prestigious American clubs overlooking picturesque Atlantic bays and inlets, along with public layouts climbing and descending the region's sloping terrain. Long Island is home to the most popular municipal golf facility in the country, the centerpiece of which is Bethpage Black, "the People's Country Club." Celebrated architects like A.W. Tillinghast, Devereux Emmet, Seth Raynor, and C.B. Macdonald built many of Long Island's famous courses, which have challenged the brightest of golf's stars. International tournaments and star-studded exhibitions have all been decided on Long Island turf, helping it grow into one of the world's most prominent golf settings.

How far do you want to hit the ball? If you're like everybody else, your answer is "just a little farther." Then "More Golf Swing Speed" is the Quick Guide for you. It focuses on the downswing-how you load the shaft at the top of your backswing and unload it at impact. It helps you understand both how to make the correct moves and how to avoid the incorrect ones: ** "Hold" or even increase your wrist cock during the downswing ** Avoid casting from the top ** Develop maximum clubhead speed as you near impact ** Learn how Hogan's supinated wrist position works ** Create a downward strike on the ball that prevents flipping ** And more There are no secret tricks to creating clubhead speed, and you don't need expensive training aids to create solid strikes on the ball. All you need is a clear understanding of what your club does during your downswing and how you can cooperate with it to get the most clubhead speed possible. All you need is "More Golf Swing Speed."

This book is meant to be unlike any other golf instruction book out on the market today! Mind Game is written from the unique point of view of a golf professional who has not only spent fifty-two years playing at all levels of the sport, from the P.G.A. Tour to the Philadelphia P.G.A. Section, but who has also taught the game for thirty-nine years to over twenty-five thousand individual golfers and at over five hundred clinics and camps. Some well-known teachers have taught the game of golf, but they themselves have never competed on a high level. Some players have played the tour but have never really been teachers. This book has been written from both perspectives. It presents educational information that will help golfers at all levels to maximize their opportunity to become better players. Most importantly, a teacher has to consider each student as an individual. It all begins with and depends on the identity of the student. How can they be helped to identify who they are as a golfer? For this reason, Mind Game will neither describe the so-called perfect positions in the golf swing nor compare your swing to that of Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth or Fred Couples. Understanding how to improve the mechanics of the swing is only a small part or percentage of how to improve a player's game. On the other hand, what it does present is a multitude of unique insights and secrets into how to play better golf, the single-most mentally-challenging sport in the world. The goal is to get inside the player's brain and share many aspects and situations that will allow them to manage themselves and make correct decisions both on and off the golf course. How do you handle nerves away from the golf course? Have you ever spent time at home or in your hotel room with a two-shot lead in either your club championship or the state amateur and wondered how to approach the situation? Do you utilize visualization and a pre-shot routine before each and every shot? Are you aware of ball flight laws? What foods and drinks should you eat or stay away from before and after playing? What should I consider before, during and after taking a lesson? Is there a difference between warmup and practice? How can a player prepare properly for a tournament? What does it mean to be in the zone and can I get there? Why should I be concerned with ball flight laws? What can I learn from brain research? Are there benefits in knowing the rules of the game? In terms of club fitting, what are the benefits of having the correct clubs in your hands? Do they match your individual needs concerning factors such as age, physical condition and flexibility? What about your driver and irons? Are your irons adjusted to the correct lies and lofts? Have you been matched with the proper shafts in all of your clubs? How different are you from the best players in the world in handling matters of insecurity, trust, happiness and confidence? The book is designed to be treated like a journal that can be read and reread many times. Important thoughts can either be highlighted or notes can be written down in the margins. In this light, think of it like a cookbook where the reader can go back numerous times to certain topic "recipes and ingredients" and remind themselves about newly learned secrets and insights.
