Michael Jacobs has spent the last nine years working with the world's foremost golf scientist to develop the first analytics system to measure the actual forces and torques at work in a swing. Jacobs is uncovering the real physics of the swing-what causes the movements you ultimately see out on the course, on film or in a photograph. In this ground-breaking book, Jacobs takes you through both the science and the practical application of that science in unprecedented detail. You'll see the hidden similarities and differences between swings of players at every ability level, and learn how to evaluate your own swing based on real data-not guesses, estimates or anecdotes. The Science of the Swing will give any player or teacher powerful tools to unlock the full potential in every swing. You don't have to subscribe to a specific swing method or approach when you know how to optimize what you do with your skills and your body using fundamental physics applied to the golf swing with this cutting-edge research and technology. Michael is one one of Golf Digest's 50 Best Teachers and Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers in America. In 2012 Jacobs won the Metropolitan PGA Section Teacher of the Year, and in 2017 he was a keynote presenter at the PGA National Teaching and Coaching Summit. Jacobs' research partner and collaborator Dr. Steven Nesbit is a professor of mechanical engineering at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa., and is the author of golf science's most authoritative movement research. Series editor Matthew Rudy is Golf Digest's Senior Instruction Writer and the author/co-author of more than 30 golf, business and peak performance books.

The Shape of Golf, Plane and Simple reveals a blueprint for hitting the golf ball with the middle of the clubface. This book describes a technique that is very likely the best way to swing a golf club by showing how the dual arc angle sets into motion the multiple arcs in the golf swing. This book shows the angles and proper observation points and describes how the body, arms, and wrist work in the right sequence to create a perfect motion that achieves great success. The book describes the two points that define a perfect golf swing. Bob Haas wrote this book based on his 20] years as a golf instructor, his experience, and his knowledge after teaching tens of thousands of different golfers. This book sets the standard in which the swing should be observed and measured for optimum ball flight and distance for all golfers. Although golfers have different builds and tempos, only one shape is known to reliably hit the ball with the middle of the clubface, which is the key for maintaining correct consistency and hitting the golf ball farther. Any golf swing can hit the perfectly good shots randomly, but golfers want to hit perfect shots consistently. Hitting perfect golf shots requires a specific technique that cannot be achieved consistently without this pattern. Based on fact and logic, the information in this book should de-mystify the right shape of the golf swing. If a golfer can practice and repeat this motion, they will truly find success in ball behavior. In fact, there's a direct correlation between this shape of golf and the shape used by the best golfers on the planet. There are more ways to swing a golf club incorrectly than there are to swing it correctly. Golf swings are chronic. Golfers have an inherent way of swinging the golf club, and they have a natural sequence of body, arms, and wrist. Identifying the natural sequence and how it influences the ball flight and changing to The Shape of Golf, Plane and Simple is the key to better ball behavior. Bob hopes you find this short book not only informative, but also helpful in your quest for perfection. Born in 1966 and raised in Boulder Colorado, Bob Haas has taught 20,000+ golfers at various facilities across the United States. He played his college golf at Southern Utah University, where he earned a B.S. in Business Administration. He also played on the Dakotas Tour and Prairie Tour, but his main interest has been in golf instruction, teaching all aspects of the golf game. Bob has taught golf for over 20 years and gives daily presentations on the golf swing. He truly loves the game and has always had a strong enthusiasm for teaching. Although Bob has studied many of the great instructors, John Jacobs of England has influenced and affected his teachings more than any other instructor. After studying golf for over 30 years, Bob found a way to observe and explain a technique to make golfers more consistently correct and to hit the ball farther. Finding the right technique has made Bob's swing much easier and the ball behavior more predictable. He wishes that he'd had this information on day 1 of his golf career, because it could have saved a lot of wasted time and energy. Bob was blessed with the ability to demonstrate the proper swing and present it to an audience, a skill that is very rare. It's taken quite a few years to perfect. Bob has always sought out the right way to swing a golf club, and he's discovered the shape of the perfect golf swing. When used with the right set-up, Bob's instructions will help golfers hit perfect shots consistently. This gives golfers a higher success rate. He hopes you find this information not only informative, but also helpful in your quest for the rather elusive perfect swing.

Fifteen years ago, the average American male golfer's handicap was 16.2. The average female golfer's handicap was 29. Today, the average American male golfer's handicap is 16.2 and the average female golfer's is 29. American golfers have not gotten any better.World-renowned performance consultant and sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella, author of the best-selling booksGolf Is Not a Game of PerfectandGolf Is a Game of Confidence,has writtenThe Golf of Your Dreamsfor the golfer who is determined to get better but hasn't figured out how to go about it. Building on his success with golfers, Dr. Rotella now teaches and details a plan for lowering your handicap, ensuring your improvement if you follow his plan. His program for success in playing the golf of your dreams is based on strategies found to be successful with tour players such as Tom Kite, Brad Faxon, Pat Bradley, and Davis Love III, and is similar to approaches used by Rotella's other clients who are top athletes in a variety of different sports.WhereasGolf Is Not a Game of PerfectandGolf Is a Game of Confidencecovered the mental aspects of the game,The Golf of Your Dreamsoffers a programmatic guide for getting down to scratch or single digits. It is an approach that Dr. Rotella and his clients have tested for over twenty years, one that has been proven to work consistently with all levels of golfers.Dr. Rotella knows that if you want to play your best golf ever, you must admit to yourself that you want to be good and that you have the necessary talent to play well. But that's not all. You must commit yourself to a process that will improve your game. InThe Golf of Your DreamsDr. Rotella provides tips on how to:* Choose the fight teaching professional* Communicate your dreams and goals to your teacher* Get your teacher to teach you as a student serious about improving* Make a plan for improvement with your teacher and stay committed* Sustain and honor your commitment* Break old habits and develop new ones* Practice efficiently and effectively so you can take your learning from the practice area to the golf courseDr. Rotella also discusses a piece of very good news for any golfer: Great physical ability is not required in order to play exceptional golf. Rotella demonstrates how characteristics such as desire, patience, and persistence,more than physical talent,enable golfers to improve their performance dramatically. When these characteristics are combined with a proven plan for success, modest talent is more than enough.Dr. Rotella will reveal why, despite the billions of dollars they have spent on new golf clubs, balls, and lessons, average American golfers' skills are stagnant and their performance is lackluster year after year. Dr. Rotella knows, above all, that simply reading a book or watching a video will not make anyone a better golfer. But readingThe Golf of Your Dreamswill make you keenly aware of what you have to do in order to play the kind of golf you've always sensed you were capable of playing.

After a lifetime of writing about the professional sport, Michael Bamberger, “the poet laureate of golf” (GOLF magazine), delivers an exhilarating love letter to the amateur game as it’s played—and lived—by the rest of us. Over Michael Bamberger’s celebrated writing career, he has written a handful of books and hundreds of Sports Illustrated stories about professional golf and those who play it—that is, the .001 percent. Now, Bamberger trains his eye on the rest of us. In his most personal book yet, Bamberger takes the lid off a game that is both quasi-religious and a nonstop party, posing an age-old question that is answered over its pages: Why does the game cast such a spell on us? Here is the story of modern golf that is not on TV. This is our story, we who pay to play, who can’t wait to get another crack at the game, even when golf doesn’t love us back. And just as every round is an adventure, every life in golf is, too. The golfers Michael Bamberger introduces will leave you inspired and moved. You’ll meet Sam Reeves, a golf-loving US Army soldier who becomes captivated by a fellow soldier, Cliff Harrington, a gifted Black golfer who’s cruelly robbed of the chance to show the world all he can do. You’ll meet Ryan French, who plays on a college golf team out of Animal House. You’ll get to know Pratima Sherpa, who grew up in a maintenance shed at the Royal Nepal Golf Club in Kathmandu and took up the game with a stick whittled by her father. The Ball in the Air is reported with Bamberger’s you-are-there intimacy and captures the sweep of time. Pratima finds her way from Nepal to a university golf team in Southern California. Ryan and his father caddie in minor-league events while sleeping in tents, a preamble to Ryan’s becoming the godfather of the popular Monday Qualifier Twitter feed. Sam Reeves, born in rural Georgia during the Depression, becomes a cotton king, the oldest amateur to make the cut at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and the ultimate man for all seasons. And there are Bamberger sightings, too, as he finds his own path in the game. You’ll make joyful side trips with the author, who’s spent more than forty years exploring golfers and golf, a way of life that captivates him down to his bones. You’ll visit the golf course at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and compete with Bamberger and other purists at the National Hickory Championship in rural Pennsylvania. At St. Andrews, you’ll get up close and personal with Lee Trevino, one of the few professionals in these pages, because Trevino, when you really get to the core of the man, is one of us. He can’t get enough of it. The Ball in the Air is Bamberger’s valentine to golf. The modern world, obsessed with fame and fortune, has infiltrated professional golf—but it hasn’t infiltrated golf. Bamberger is here to highlight the distinction and to celebrate the game and all who play it.

In golf the playing field is also landscape, where nature and the shaping of it conspire to test athletic prowess. As golf courses move away from the “big business, pristine lawn” approach of recent times, Bradley S. Klein, a leading expert on golf course design and economics, finds much to contemplate, and much to report, in the way these wide-open spaces function as landscapes that inspire us, stimulate our senses, and reveal the special nature of particular places. A meditation on what makes golf courses compelling landscapes, this is also a personal memoir that follows Klein’s own unique journey across the golfing terrain, from the Bronx and Long Island suburbia to the American prairie and the Pacific Northwest. Whether discussing Robert Moses and Donald Trump and the making of New York City, or the role of golf in the development of the atomic bomb, or the relevance of Willa Cather to how the game has taken hold in the Nebraska Sandhills, Klein is always looking for the freedom and the meaning of golf’s wide-open spaces. And as he searches, he offers a deeply informed and absorbing view of golf courses as cultural markers, linking the game to larger issues of land use, ecology, design, and imagination.
