“If all the ‘helpful advice’ we get from other golfers is so good – why don’t 90% of golfers hit the ball straight?” It’s a good question isn’t it?Over the years I have found that the starting experiences of almost all golfers I have taught were very similar. As was the ever present ‘helpful advice’ they all got from the other golfers when they hit less than good shotsIt became clear to me that there is a very consistent pattern of the way people are introduced to golf and the information they are given to learn golf worldwide.That ultimately leads to more people giving up golf in their first 2 years of starting, than those that stay on continuing to play the game of golf.But why?It’s the ‘helpful advice’ they are given that effectively turns out ‘frustrated golfers’This book is based on the character ‘Pete Norman’ who is effectively a composite of all of the golfers that I have explained what they really need to do to become a golfer - many times.Once my students have understood why they need to do things and the right way to do them, the vast majority quickly begin to play to their true potentialThe embarrassment they felt and the frustration with golf becoming a distant memory.The golfers that I have had 'test read' this book tell me that it’s probably the most useful book you could read if you are brand new to golf, just in your first few years of playing or absolutely frustrated with the game after returning to it - like Pete was.All of them commented that it would have taken months and possibly even years off the time it took them to start playing well – had they read this book first!The beauty of the ideas inside is that they do not require thousands of hours of practice. In fact you don’t even need to go near the golf course at all.Here’s a brief excerpt that explains a little more;“I have tried so many different tips and theories that other golfers have told me or things that I have read in magazines, seen on video or television that I probably couldn’t list them all. I am confused, as most of the things I am told contradict each other and if they do work, it only works for a short time. The other thing I have noticed is that when I get advice from another golferThey don’t do what it is they are telling me to do and normally their shots aren’t that great either. One thing is for sure though, nothing yet has got rid of my slice and I’m finding golf really difficult - I thought golf was supposed to be fun?”……..………The results of his shot’s were certainly not unique to him and the level of frustration, the thoughts of giving up that he was experiencing were altogether too common……after spending time punishing themselves for a lack of skill and ability, just simply gave up the game, when in fact it was neither their skills or ability that were lacking……after today he would be playing golf to his true potential much sooner than he could believe possible”.
