The Seven Personalities of Golf The Intimidator (Tiger Woods) The Swashbuckler (Arnold Palmer) The Methodologist (Nick Faldo) The Gamesman (Lee Trevino) The Steady Eddy (Tom Watson) The Laid Back (Fred Couples) The Artist (Seve Ballesteros) Is your personality affecting your game? Do you approach every shot with a go-for-broke attitude, even when the moment might reward a more deliberate, methodical strategy? Or do you carefully calculate every swing, even when a bit of reckless abandon might give you a better chance of getting out of a jam? Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, has a dominant personality: a set of traits that sometimes helps you win--but sometimes lands you in the rough. By carefully observing professional golfers' behavior and analyzing his own students' successes and failures, leading golf instructor Darrin Gee has identified seven basic personality types and the on-the-course strengths and weaknesses each confers. Are you naturally an "Intimidator" (like Tiger Woods)? A "Methodologist" (like Nick Faldo)? A "Gamesman" (like Lee Trevino)? Gee illustrates the basic characteristics of each type with accounts of great players' performances--brilliant and disastrous. Next, he provides a quick questionnaire to help you determine whether you fit that particular bill. Then, Gee shows you how to use your personality to your advantage while outlining situations where you'd be wise to take a tip from another personality's playbook. The latest of Gee's insightful guides, Seven Personalities offers essential advice for any golfer wanting to improve his or her mental game.
Deepak Chopra has discovered the delights—and frustrations—of golf, and he is passionate about the game. Confronted by the wild ups and downs of his own play, he consulted with golf professionals and developed a new approach to the game that any golfer can follow—from the novice to the expert. The results can be measured not only in increased enjoyment and skill, but also in greater wisdom about life beyond the 18th hole. Chopra’s own game has improved dramatically since incorporating the elements of his program. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of a “perfect” swing, Chopra reveals how golf can be mastered through mindfulness, a form of awareness that combines sharp focus and relaxation at the same time. Expanded awareness, he tells us, can accomplish much more than external mechanics to improve one’s game. But Golf for Enlightenment is also an engrossing story about Adam, an Everyman who is playing a terrible round of golf when he meets a mysterious young teaching pro named Leela. In seven short but profound lessons detailing spiritual strategies, she teaches Adam the essence of a game that has much to explain about life itself. Chopra has spent the last year taking the unique message in Golf for Enlightenment nationwide, teaching the essential tenets of his program at lectures and seminars to golfers everywhere. His message continues to help players turn an obsession into a positive life path.
"Since 1890, golf has been deeply woven into the fabric of Cincinnati's sports culture but little is known of its colorful and famous golfers, golf courses, and related events. Golf reaches the seven hills is a collage of accomplishments, facts, and human-interest stories that all contributed to the rich history of golf in the Queen City. These important and interesting historical fragments get lost over time, unless someone commits painstakingly and selflessly to research, collate, and document them. Golf reaches the seven hills is a must for anyone who loves to play the game and/or learn about its vast history in Cincinnati"--Provided by publisher.
The golf industry's most innovative instructor pens an eloquent and motivational book that promises to bring about dramatic changes not only in one's golf game, but in one's personal and professional life as well.

Jack William Nicklaus, born on January 21st, 1940, Columbus, Ohio, US, nicknamed The Golden Bear, is a retired professional golfer, considered by many as the greatest golfer of all time. Nicklaus won a record 18 major championships over more than 25 years, while having 19 runner-up and 9 third-place finishes. Jack focused on the major championships-Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship, while playing a selective schedule of regular PGA Tour events, but still finished with 73 victories, 3rd on the all-time list behind Sam Snead (82) and Tiger Woods (79).
The biggest paradox in golf is that the harder you try to hit the ball, the worse you do so. In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag. The result is increased distance and greater accuracy for all sizes, shapes, and ages of golfers for a minimum investment in learning time. The clarity and simplicity of McTeigue's frill-free approach to the golf swing leads the reader to a new experience of power and effortlessness. He truly shows how to build a swing you can trust and keep for life. If you love golf but have never played to your potential, here is a book that you will quickly come to treasure. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Most golf instruction books are written by famous performers about how they personally swing the club, and there's no doubt the better ones can be helpful-especially if you share the author's athleticism, ambition, appetite for work, and opportunities for practice and play. This book was written by a very bright but at the time "unfamous" young teacher whose daily bread depended on delivering permanently decent-to-good golf games to averagely endowed people with no interest in becoming slaves to the sport. He became so successful at that in his immediate community that his pupils demanded he put the system on paper for their constant reference and reminder. He called the result The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, and sent it to a number of star players, one of whom passed it on to me. After one quick reading I believed that the book would help so many other existing and would-be golfers to such an extent that it just had to be made available nationally. Jim McQueen, one of the world's top golf artists and a former professional, fully shared those sentiments and agreed to do the illustrations, and the nation's leading golf book publisher became an enthusiastic third party. The key to Michael McTeigue's success with his thousands of pupils of all sizes, shapes, ages, and ability levels in California, and the beauty of this book, is the clarity and simplicity and the supremely logical sequentiality of its approach to the golf swing. Follow the easily mastered steps or "keys" in the recommended order and with a reasonable degree of patience, and in a remarkably short time, you will be experiencing entirely new sensations of both accurate striking and effortless power. Encouraged by those-and the accompanying evaporation of confusion-you will persist with these simple and clear-cut moves until they become thoroughly muscle-memorized. At that point, you will be swinging the golf club effectively and with total confidence on every shot entirely by feel, which is the closest you or anyone else will ever come to golf's "secret" (ask any champion if you doubt that). Gone forever at long last will be the Band-Aids and the gimmicks and all that frustrating stumbling from one fruitless theory to another. If you love golf and want to play better for a lot less effort, then forget Michael McTeigue's fame quotient and work with this little gem of a book. It could make you as big a fan of his as all those happy pupils for whom he originally wrote it. Ken Bowden May 1985 A former editorial director of Golf Digest magazine, Ken Bowden has co-authored more than a dozen golf instruction books, seven of them with Jack Nicklaus.

A note from the author. All golfers, from PGA and LPGA tour professionals to beginners, have experienced frustration on the golf course and the driving range. I am no exception. I started playing golf when I was in college and steadily improved over the years. My handicap got down to the single digits, but then I plateaued. I knew I could play better.
