Owner Reviews
This review is from: Practical Golf (Paperback) Tiger Wood's coach, Butch Harmon, has called John Jacobs the greatest golf teacher of today. This book demonstrates why. No big mechanical section to give one the too common "paralysis of analysis." In Jacobs fashion, he builds on the vital necessity of knowing what is going on, the geometry and balistics. This is easily relayed on to us simpletrons with "Two turns and a swish of the club." He then gives this applied to stance, grip, aim, then proceeds to backswing, etc. The illustrations are by the famous Anthony Favielli of Ben Hogan's Five Fundamentals fame. They are so good and visually impart what this master teacher is pouring forth in words. Lady golfers will especially like the section provided and helps throughout for them, such as "why women raise up on their toes" and "ladies, you can hit it further!" Trouble shots, strategy, equipment selection are all provided in one volume that anyone starting in the game or desiring to shave strokes will reap benefits from. Having gone to a Jacobs school, I can proclaim that this book is a good one to study and mold one's swing after. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
