Michael McTeigue is a well known instruction in California that has built up quite a following. One look at his book will tell you exactly why. If you are looking for a complete resource to help you fix your swing, this may be the perfect answer. The illustrations were superb and we found the book to be an incredibly enjoyable read.
One of the golf pro’s that read this book commented that the example of just one of the swing techniques was worth the entire price of the book and we’d have to agree. This is great, common sense instruction and the author has done a great job of keeping the tone conversational. You never feel as though you are being talked down to, or that you’ll never be able to accomplish the swing. In fact, the author is great at motivation as well as instruction.
The first chapter gets into the mental game of golf, which often has a dramatic impact on your swing. Read this section at least twice, since there are many great nuggets of wisdom to be found here. Overall, we found a few things in this chapter alone that we could improve on.
The author breaks down every single step of the swing, from start to finish, making easy phase much easier to understand. You’ll be learning about how to shift your body slightly to get better results, the key to the Lighthouse Turn and many other great tips that will impact your swing and the way that you hit the ball. Lesson Seven is an incredible lesson that goes into the inside out swing, breaking it down even further.
Timing is essential in golf and this is one of the first books we’ve found that really covers this issue. Overall, as golf books go, this is by far one of the best we have ever read and one of the few that contained tips that could be immediately put into use right out on the course.
We highly recommend this book not only to beginning golfers, but also to more experienced players. Chances are you may have picked up a few bad techniques along the way, we all do, and this book can help you unlearn them very quickly. It is a fast paced read that is informative without being boring and it is also suitable for youth players. If you have been struggling with your swing for years, this book most likely will have the answer that will solve it.
Simply by implementing a few of the tips in this book you should be able to shave quite a few points off your score and you’ll find that playing is a lot more enjoyable. People can spend their entire lives perfecting their golf swing, but with this book, you should be able to solve your problems quickly and get back to enjoying the game.
