5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Great Little Golf Book, December 23, 2004

My faded (1961) copy of Jim Dante's 1947 "The Nine Bad Shots of Golf and What to Do About Them" is a gem! It's still available in reprints (1990). The scope is exactly what all beginning and most experienced golfers need and want: How to stop hooking, slicing, topping, pushing, pulling, smothering, shanking, skying, and sclaffing. The language is wonderfully straightforward. To hit a low ball, Dante says use one more (lower-faced) club, put nearly all your weight on the left foot, and dont't pivot. "These three things," Dante says, "are virtually all you can do." What if the green can't be approached by a run-up? Dante: "Well, that's just too bad."

Simply the best book written on how to swing a golf club and hit the ball straight and smooth.
Written with a matter of fact and direct approach the text and diagrams leave you in no doubt about what you should do to swing a golf club, and WHY you should swing it that way.
I read this book more than twenty years ago, regularly shooting less than 80 with only a minimum number of games a year.
Highly recommended for those able to follow the advice given. I have bought another copy as my original copy was never returned after lending it to another golfer.
