On the Other Hand [Paperback]

Steve Anderson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 3, 2001

Left-handed golfers have been "left" out in the cold when it comes to help with their swing. There just wasn't a "swing book" readily available, and none had been written by a professional golf instructor.

Steve Anderson, the PGA's ONLY left-handed "Certified" teaching professional has come to the rescue. On the Other Hand, authored by Anderson with golf writer Paul deVere, presents golf's fundamentals in a straight forward, clear, enjoyable style -- fro the left side. An excellent choice for golfers at all levels of play. Includes over 80 action shots of Anderson and some of his students.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Damn Golf Book ( and Instructor) you can Buy !!!!!, May 10, 2004

Daniel Furdon (Wellesley, Ma United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: On the Other Hand (Paperback)

I have just recently completed 8 lessons with Steve Anderson and as part of his instrucution I was given his book. Steve
could not be any clearer about the golf swing than he is
within "On the Other Hand". This book shows you everything that is needed to build a solid golf swing. I am a 16 handicap and after being down in Flordia the last 5 weeks and studying under
Steve, I have had the 2 best rounds of my career in tournaments
82 - 86 . I have no one other than Steve to thank fo that. Buy the book, and more importantly get down here and take a lesson with him !!! The great thing is that Steve's instruction follows the book word for word, so even if you don't get a chance to come down and work on your swing in person, you can be guaranteed to feel like you're "almost there" when reading his book. THANKS STEVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Instructions that work!, June 5, 2002

Gus Caniff (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: On the Other Hand (Paperback)

"On The Other Hand" is a fantastic instructional manual that has helped improve my game (better than my more expensive clubs!). It seems like Steve's fundamentals are missing from many other sources of golf instruction. I am glad he decided to put them in print for everyone to read. The book is filled with effective instructions, real life adventures, and easy to follow photos (whether you are left or right handed). I am not an expert, but I think this golf book is going to be "HOT!!!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge results after reading just 40 pages!!!, June 14, 2006

By 

Steve T. "Golfing Cake Maker" - See all my reviews

This review is from: On the Other Hand (Paperback)

Received this book on a Monday and had to play in a tournament the very next day. After reading just the first 40 pages it became clear the mistakes I was making. Before the tournament I went to the driving range and practiced what I had read and just like that I was hitting the straightest shots I've ever hit. I can't wait to read the rest of it and watch the strokes disappear!! I applaud Steve Anderson for writing a book for lefties and I agree with him that lefties are still being left behind in the area of equipment. The golf stores around here offer very little in the way of equipment for us.
