5.0 out of 5 stars After this, you can stop looking and are healed, February 26, 2007

This review is from: Five Simple Steps to Perfect Golf (Paperback)

Count Yogi (Henry (von) Frankenberg, born around 1910, wrote this book nearly 70 years later and outlines all one needs to know not only about the full swing but the short shots (strokes) and putting.

It is so sublime that once you have even a small part of it mastered, you have a trouble free game, a healthy attitude, and can PLAY, not suffer, golf.

For me, a well-regarded ball pounder and student of the movement part of the game, this was a liberation. No more heavy practices, no more callouses, no more wondering: "Are we there yet?"

My length is great, I can use pro quality clubs, and stiffer shafts. I put well and my short game is better than anything I ever imagined possible. Thank you Count Yogi, and especially Tim Nicholls who, as the Count's son, kept this alive and available.

I think that the Count was to golf what Pistol Pete was to basketball: they not only transcended the game, but their teaching videos are the only thing you need, including a lot of work in case you want to be really proficient.

Proficiency is nice, but having a good time without all the damn frustration is what I got out of this. I am well into my middle years and I don't dread the game any longer. Imagine that!

Count Yogi was ahead of his time in teaching Golf. Tim Nichols is carrying on his Golf teaching system. More is written about the Golf swing and its components than probably any other subject. Count Yogi cuts through all the nonsense and gets you sending the ball straight to your target with the least mental and physical effort. This book is priceless!

5.0 out of 5 stars far and away, the best, December 3, 2006

Beautifully written and photographed. You will be

overwhelmed by the simplicity of his swing. Having

seen him perform, he makes a mockery of most golf

theories.
