Book Description

March 1, 2009
If a golf swing takes a few seconds to execute, and a player shoots 100, what's happening on the course for the three hours and fifty-five minutes when players are swinging? An easy, amusing read, Golf, Naked is packed with tips, tales, tricks of the trade, and lessons for life that describe the 99 percent of the game that no one talks about. And it's written by bona fide club-selling, lesson-giving, cart-washing, vest-wearing PGA Golf Pro Greg Rowley. He offers information and advice that will help all golfers master the complete game, including the stuff that truly demonstrates a player's experience, comfort, confidence, and grace. The book answers such specific questions as:
  • Who should you tip on the golf course?
  • When and how is it okay to gamble?
  • What do you do if the players in front of you are holding up your game?
  • What is a sand bagger?
  • What's the best way to grip a club?
  • How do you calculate a handicap?
  • When is it okay to move your ball?
  • If you are wearing brown shoes, What color should your socks and belt be?

Golf, Naked is a 2010 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Finalist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for pro to amateur., March 3, 2009
This review is from: Golf, Naked: The Bare Essentials Revealed (Hardcover)
This book is an absolute knockout. I'm a relatively new golfer and this book was recommended by a friend; the recommendation was spot on. It's a book that I could enjoy reading even taken out of the context of getting better at golf because it holds your interest and has some really great stories. In addition though, the book really gives you a new perspective on the game which can be valuable to a new golfer like me, or someone who is much more experienced like my buddy. If you have any interest in golf and want a great read to go with some valuable info, this book is the perfect option.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read!, March 3, 2009
This review is from: Golf, Naked: The Bare Essentials Revealed (Hardcover)
"Golf, Naked" is a fantastic book that not only throws out tips to help your swing, but is a great resource for learning how to really enjoy all of the subtle nuances of the game. For new golfers or those looking to get into the sport, this book serves as a great primer on just about all aspects of heading out to the links. However, this book isn't just for beginners - and I'd venture to say that most experienced players would greatly benefit from reading through this book. Golf all too often develops into of game of over-thinking and perfection, and I think paging through the advice, stories, and tidbits that Greg Rowley lays out would help bring a new perspective and enjoyment to any golfer's game.

If you're a golf fan, this book is a must read!
