Golf Book Makes Golf Game Easy to Learn?
We were walking through the library yesterday trying to absorb a little literary intelligence when we noticed sitting prominently on the end of an aisle was a book called Learn to Play Golf in a Weekend. We just had to check out a book with that title.
Written by Edward Craig and published is 2005 by Octopus Publishing Group LTD, it has a clear cut plan to learn to play in two days. “Learn to Play golf in a Weekend will give you the skills to enjoy your golf game without the need for costly lessons.” Yeah Right!
On Day 1 you learn the following;
- The Grip
- The Setup
- The Backswing
- The Downswing
Sounds like an easy day!
On Day 2 you learn:
- Pitching and Chipping
- Bunkers
- Trouble shots
- Putting
A couple hours should be sufficient for these aspects of the game.
You then can go at your own pace with other aspects such as:
- Preparation
- Strategy
- Psychology
- Advanced Shots
- How to work the ball, etc.
Piece of cake!
In Tom’s case, after spending almost 40 years learning the game of golf…now he finds out he could have learned it in a weekend if he had just had the correct book. It may not be too late for Becky as she has only been playing for 4 years and her bad habits can still change with the sage advice in this 127 page book.
Ben Hogan deliberately published his classic Five Lessons The Modern Fundamentals of Golf one section at a time in a magazine so people could attempt to absorb one fundamental over the course several weeks. Obviously Ben had no idea golf could be learned in a weekend.
On second thought, since Ben turned into a pretty good golfer maybe he was right.
