Book Description

October 18, 2007
Annika Sorenstam is the world’s greatest woman golfer—a dominant force in the game who has already captured a career Grand Slam and become the all-time LPGA money leader. Her rigorous mental and physical dedication has changed the face of her sport, and her fierce determination and unparalleled preparation have won her tournaments and fans the world over. In 2003, she made international headlines by becoming the first woman in more than fifty years to play against men in a professional event, bringing her trademark game and competitiveness to a whole new level.

Now for the first time Annika takes you inside her extraordinary success and shows every golfer how to play and win like a pro. She breaks down the fundamentals of her game and shares her winning course strategies in one complete, easy-to-follow instruction book.

Golf Annika’s Way features:

• All you need to know about how to use every club in the bag, from fairway woods to short irons to the putter
• The secrets of the power behind her potent swing, from the essentials of grip and posture to her unconventional form on the follow-through
• Hundreds of full-color photos, including high-speed shots that capture the elements of Annika’s powerful swing frame-by-frame in a foldout spread
• An insider look at the unique weight training and dietary regimen Annika has developed for building a stronger physique—and a longer drive

Filled with insights and stories from throughout her colorful career, Golf Annika’s Way gives you priceless advice from a champion’s perspective. It’s a must-have for Annika’s millions of fans—and men and women golfers of all ages and skill levels who want to lower their scores on the course and bring their game to the next level.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Its title echoing the enduring how-to guide Golf My Way by Jack Nicklaus (1974), this instructional from Sorenstam is technically orthodox. Perhaps its prime attraction, besides the author's fame and telegenic smile, will be Sorenstam's allusions to deficiencies in her swing that she remedied en route to becoming professional golf's top female player of the past decade. She reports that in early days on tour she was unable to drive the ball far, three-putted too often, and was nervous about bunker shots. Her solutions to these common problems were to delay the uncocking of the wrists on the downswing; putt to the high side of the cup; and in the bunker, assess the lie and set up correctly--all standard-issue counsel. But if it works for Annika, why not for me, thinks the ever-optimistic weekend player, and Sorenstam's I'm-like-you attitude infuses an entirely friendly and comprehensible presentation of how to play golf. Photographic presentations of Sorenstam practicing exercising combine with asides about her personal life to create a popular golf book-- guaranteed. Gilbert Taylor

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf Anniks's Way, June 7, 2005
I am a male that has worked hard mentally, physically and with a golf pro to reduce my high handicap by 10 strokes. The text and photography do a great job of instruction. The transition from the top and backswing as well as iniating the downswing translate into swing improvment. I also liked finding the balls of your feet for balance.
I work hard at physical fitness and her chapter Getting Fit was very helpful. Strong to the core on the fitness ball and the med ball twist was great. I am aware of my abs on practice swings for the first time. I recomend this book for a golfer at any level, and believe readers will be suprised at it's quality.

I'm a beginner golfer and this book has helped me know exactly how to hold the club, how different stances benefit my game and so much more. It's not complicated to read at all. Everything is explained very clearly. I've enjoyed this book so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, February 24, 2006
I found this instruction book easy to understand. I like the fact that Annika allows her head to move with the swing. I found the concept of "crossing the line", going from preshot thinking to execution, helpful.

This book makes the game seem simple, which can be helpful to anyone.
