From Green to Tee by Shirley Spork Pdf

"This is the story of a little red-haired girl from Michigan, who grew up to be one of the most beloved women in the history of gold. She is not just a storied Tour player: Shirley Spork is golf's finest mentor teacher. Shirley enjoyed the relationships she had with other women who were a part of the early days of the Ladies Professional Golf Association...the LPGA. As one of the "13 Founders," she teed of with the likes of Babe Zaharias, Patty Berg, and Marilynn Smith, but she was also a leader in golf education. Though it was the Tour that initially brought these women together, it was their love of the game that sealed lifelong friendships. Sharing their knowledge of golf with the masses became a passion that would keep their lives intertwined for years to come." -- page (4) of cover.

Excellence in Golf Tee to Green by Dave Cardy Pdf

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.

Hannibal and Me by Andreas Kluth Pdf

A dynamic and exciting way to understand success and failure, through the life of Hannibal, one of history's greatest generals. The life of Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps with his army in 218 B.C.E., is the stuff of legend. And the epic choices he and his opponents made-on the battlefield and elsewhere in life-offer lessons about responding to our victories and our defeats that are as relevant today as they were more than 2,000 years ago. A big new idea book inspired by ancient history, Hannibal and Me explores the truths behind triumph and disaster in our lives by examining the decisions made by Hannibal and others, including Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Steve Jobs, Ernest Shackleton, and Paul Cézanne-men and women who learned from their mistakes. By showing why some people overcome failure and others succumb to it, and why some fall victim to success while others thrive on it, Hannibal and Me demonstrates how to recognize the seeds of success within our own failures and the threats of failure hidden in our successes. The result is a page-turning adventure tale, a compelling human drama, and an insightful guide to understanding behavior. This is essential reading for anyone who seeks to transform misfortune into success at work, at home, and in life.

Newton on the Tee by John Zumerchik Pdf

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. In Newton on the Tee, accomplished science writer John Zumerchik examines, explores, and explains to us the endless details that make golf such a tantalizing pursuit. Written in language accessible to even the most scientifically disinclined, Zumerchik's book delves into areas of supreme importance to every golfer, including: 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 With a firm grasp of both his subject and his 7-iron, Zumerchik takes the reader through all these topics and more, in an entertaining and enlightening work that will give every golfer something to chew on besides his or her nails, and make clear and comprehensible the hundred-and-thirty-five things you shouldn't think about during your backswing.

From Tee to Green by Marvin R. Wamble Pdf

Avid golfer Marvin R. Wamble has played on courses all around the world, and he understands the precarious nature of the game. It has its ups and downs, and no golfers, no matter how good they are, can always be guaranteed a great round. By the same token, Wamble the minister realizes that the game of life is impossible to master without the Lord. From Tee to Green, a devotional written for golfers searching for a way to improve their lives, shares Wamble's witty and insightful reflections on life and golf. With personal anecdotes, spiritual lessons, and prayers, he dares to ask tough questions designed to spur readers to the next level of their game-whether it's in the middle of a golf course or at one of life's emotional and spiritual crossroads. Wamble shows us how to make God a part of our daily lives so that we may walk with spiritual confidence and courage. Not wanting us to settle for par or bogey, the Lord lovingly infuses us with the power and authority to allow a more abundant existence, allowing us to not only fly like eagles, but to capture a few on the links as well.

Golf Science by Mark F. Smith Pdf

An “enlightening” illustrated exploration of the scientific factors that determine success or failure on the golf course (The New York Times). What happens in the brain during the preshot routine? Does head movement hinder swing performance? Will I hit the ball farther with a longer driver? Why do I lose distance into the wind? What can I learn from watching my ball in flight? How should practice be structured? What are the key stats in golf that I need to know? Golf is perhaps the most complicated simple game ever invented. Legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods make the sport look easy, but anyone who has ever picked up a club knows how truly frustrating golf can be. The success of each shot depends on a diverse range of factors, from the club you choose and the speed with which you swing it, to your mood, the weather, and even the type and cut of the grass. Science plays a crucial role in most, if not all, of these factors, and in Golf Science, sports science expert Mark F. Smith investigates the cutting-edge scientific wonders that take the ball from tee to hole—addressing facets from equipment to environment to technology to mind and body with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations.
