The Better by Saturday series of golf books is incredibly popular and thousands of golfers treat them like their bibles. While you may not actually be able to improve your game by next Saturday, you should be able to get quite a few tips that can help you become a better golfer over time. For this review, we focused on the Driving book, since this is an issue that plagues the vast majority of golfers. No matter what course you are playing on, driving accuracy is vital to a good score. So, let’s take a look at this book and see what it has to offer.
The part that we liked best about this book is that it does not rely on only one teacher. Instead, you’ll find experts that are commonly seen throughout the pages of Golf Magazine, weighing in with vital tips to help you with your drive. This provides access to some of the world’s best (and most expensive) teachers for the simple price of the book, and that right there makes the book well worth the purchase. We liked the fact that we could get many points of view on the subject and that each teacher had a slightly different method and approach to learning.
The first chapter deals with what you need to focus on before you even pick up a club. This is a great resource if you find yourself getting psyched out before you even start. You’ll be learning the essentials of grip, how to swing the right way and how to handle each hole you come across. Next up, the book moves right along to power, another vital component in any drive. You’ll be learning how to dramatically increase the power of your shot and when to scale it back.
We loved the chapter on accuracy and really felt that the tips were useful. In fact, we are able to go right out and put them to good use – and they actually worked. That right there is a big problem for many golf books, and this one passed with flying colors. Also appreciated was the chapter on strategy that deals with how to size up the entire hole from the tee and how to develop the perfect plan of attack.
The remaining chapters focus on drills that you can do anywhere to improve your driving, as well as some exercises and stretches that can benefit your entire swing. We highly recommend following them and found these to be very effective.
Overall, this is one of the best instructional golf books we’ve come across, and we were convinced to go read the rest of the series. This is an ideal book for someone who is already golfing but needs a little extra help and advice. Beginners can learn a lot, but they may not understand some of the terminology. We absolutely loved this book and feel that it would make the perfect gift for any golfer.
