Product Description
Better Golf: A Skill Building Approach offers a breakthrough method for acquiring better golf skills. Julius Richardson, the first African American pro to be included in Golf Magazine?s Top 100 Instructors in America, shows you how to get to the core of better scoring with a minimum of wasted effort. Richardson turns the spotlight directly on the learning process itself. He breaks the desirable skills of golf into components and offers intelligently sequenced drills to help you acquire them. Along with fine short game instruction, Richardson teaches Six Key Body Angles that put you in ideal anatomical position for ball striking. Touring pros use these angles with every swing. Through skill building practice, amateurs can start to acquire them, and their shots get better and better.
This is a different kind of instructional book on golf. Instead of focusing on mechanics and positions in the swing, the author keys on six angles vital to effective ball striking. Five are established in addressing the ball. All are clearly defined and illustrated. The book also contains some excellent drills to help the reader get into better positions at address. There are chapters on the short game and even a few pages on the swing itself. This is an excellent book for anyone above a 10- or 12-handicap or for any golfer who has come to the conclusion that setting up to the ball correctly makes up at least 75 percent of effective ball striking. It is also easy to read. Most importantly, the key points made can be put to the test right away at the driving range.
I was a little skeptical when a friend suggested that I buy and read this book but after going completely through it, I was guite surprised how easy the reading was and it all tied together. I have read a ton of books, mags, tips on got but this was very different. I personally sought out Julius for lessons after reading his book and it has completely changed my approach to golf. His unique style makes learning golf not only fun but he incorporates real life situations with his examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to better their game both physically and mentally.
