Summer Reading

Since there are so ways golfers can get information on the swing and how to play, I thought I might list some of my favorite books that I suggest to students who are looking for ways to improve their games.

So in no particular order, here they are:

1. Practical Golf by John Jacobs
This one is terrific for simple explanations of ball-flight corrections as well as great diagrams and pictures.

2. The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean
Jim is one of the top teachers in golf and breaks the swing down into 8 positions. It may sound technical but if you are looking for a detailed system to improve your swing it's excellent. Once you start reading it will help you get a clear picture of what you need to do to improve your swing.

3. The Little Red Book by Harvey Penick
A golf instruction classic, Harvey taught golf for almost 80 years and the book is full of great advice that can help anyone from beginner to expert. An easy read that you can look at several times and always get something new to help your game.

4. Your 15th Club by Dr. Bob Rotella
This is Rotella's latest book and in my opinion his best. It covers his basic tenants for a sound mental approach to playing the game and gives lots of practical advice on how to apply the lessons.
