Description

Now aspiring beginners and experienced golfers can benefit from the hottest teacher in golf today - the man who helped Tiger Woods hone his skills, showing players of all levels how to plan, think, and play every shot. Presenting strategies for low handicappers striving to achieve club championships and high handicappers hoping to break 100, Harmon discusses how to play to one's strengths, when to take risks, and when to avoid them. There are tips on reading a hole, advice on when to aim for the fat of the green, and a special section on drills for perfecting each speciality shot. To make his lessons more fun and more challenging, Harmon has selected eighteen holes from some of the world's greatest courses including the Augusta National Golf Course, to illustrate his techniques.
