When you have a book written by the undisputed superstar of golf, it's a pretty good chance that it will demolish the competition, whether it deserves to or not. Luckily, Tiger Woods' book is a great read and although it may not have delivered what a lot of readers hoped it would, it offers an interesting look a the man himself and what made him the player that he is today. Fans of Tiger that really don't appreciate the sport will most likely be disappointed to some degree with the book, but there are plenty of pictures to keep the fans happy.
The illustrations are incredibly helpful at breaking down how Tiger plays golf. One is included with about every important tip and it really helps the reader get a better understanding of his technique and mindset. This is a great book if you want to get into the technical side of playing golf, and it's also a very entertaining read. It's not often that you get to peek into the mind of a genius and this book does offer a rare glimpse at the man behind the club.
The book excels at being descriptive and really getting into the heart of some of Tiger's techniques. You can expect him to share all of them, but he really does a great job of helping players understand more about the game itself and how they should approach it. There are two important chapters that are devoted to the mental side of golf and if you skip through any part of this book, you need to slow down here.
Champions are made because they are able to combine a terrific mental game with a lot of skill. Tiger is a true champion and his mental game is simply incredible. You can walk away with some truly remarkable tips on managing your mental game and becoming a better player. While it's not an instant fix, these techniques can be used by any player to help them break through their mental barriers and really beginning focusing on their game.
Perhaps the strongest point of this book is that the publisher made sure that anyone could understand it and there is not a lot of technical jargon. It is incredibly well suited for the young player that has high hopes of rocking the golf world and will give them a strong foundation upon which they can build their own techniques.
Overall, we highly recommend this book to golfers of all skill levels. It is a quick read and although it may not turn out Tiger clones, it still has a lot of help to offer for any player. You should be able to walk away with at least a few ideas of how to improve your game and young players will get plenty of tips that will help them develop their own unique playing style. This book is well worth the cost, especially since it is packed with photographs and it is well suited for any golfer's bookshelf.
