I have read and own a huge library of golf instruciton books in my life-long quest to improve my golf game. Many are filled with conflicting and confusing information. John Jacob's book is by far the best golf instruction book I have ever read. I poured over this book for hours, underlining profound information, anxious to get to the practice tee to try out his suggestions. I knew immediatley that I was reading a book written by a master teacher who profoundly understood the golf swing and was able to communicate that understanding in clear and simple language. I went out and bought a copy for a golfing friend the next day.

Butch Harmon, Tiger Wood's coach, called Jacobs the best teacher the game has had. Valid because most of the greats at one time or another has went to this man for help.

He's got an approach to the game which is unique, trys to keep it simple, yet unique to each individual.

Here in this wonderful book at the millenium, he takes 50 of the game's best, from Hogan to Nicklaus, Jones, Palmer, Faldo, Sned, Walter Hagen, Olazabal, Norman, Byron Nelson, Watson, Trevino, Palmer and more, and shows us what each one of them exhibits about the game that we can learn from.

The one for me that gives remarkable results is Hale Irwin, who spent two whole weeks doing nothing but hitting balls with his feet together: this gets the hands and arms swinging freely.

A collector's item, with magnificent photos, art work, and wonderful commentary by this master teacher.

Get this book, it will give you enjoyment and hints for improving your swing.

John Jacobs is one of the best golf instuctors in the world. His presentation of golf swing lessons reflect his talents and expertise. It goes without saying, if you are not familar with him nor have read his books, you owe it to yourself to do so. Without doubt this book will give you the direction to improve your golf swing. These are my thoughts on John Jacobs and any golf instructional book he authors, from the author of The Golf Swing: It's All in the Hands.

I thought this book was informative, but not as good as I thought
it would be. I don't believe the author presented the lessons as
he intended the readers to grasp them.
