Product Description

HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLF SWING LIKE THE PROS is a "must read" for every golfer who is passionate about their golf game and determined to improve. The book is about 60 pages long, with 12 chapters covering different aspects of practice - from strategy to tactics. You'll find it both thought-provoking and practical.
The simple ideas about what to practice, why, and how to practice effectively are an amazing breakthrough that will help you improve your game far faster and with much more enjoyment. When you finish reading this book you will never think about practice the same way again.
The practice approach and methodologies explained in the book are clear and concise, easy to understand, and more importantly, simple to put into action. They take the drudgery out of practice, create clear focus, and add the excitement of knowing that you are achieving your goals. You'll know you are working on the right things, for the right reasons, in the right way.
Anybody can tell you what to do differently with your golf swing (and they usually do). But this is the first book that fully explains what to do AFTER that to rapidly create permanent, positive change.
Every golfer knows that the real secret to improving is practice. But almost none of them practices efficiently or effectively. In How To Practice Your Golf Swing Like The Pros you'll learn ...
* The REAL purpose of practice (and why you're wasting your time trying to "fix" your swing)
* How to identify your top practice priorities (and why practicing your strengths is critical to good scoring)
* How to use training methods of Olympic athletes to turbo-charge your results (and why some old myths are holding you back)
* How to structure an effective and efficient practice (so you get more done in an hour than most golfers do in a month)
* How to manage your improvement and track your progress (follow this advice and you'll leave every practice session with a feeling of accomplishment)
* Where and how to focus your attention during every swing (hint: it's NOT on the results of your shot)
* The secret of Goldilocks (and how her method will make practice more fun!)
* The Mastery approach to learning (and how this will take the pressure off)
* How to take it to the course (and how to shorten the longest walk in golf - from the practice tee to the first tee)
The ideas in this book are truly evolutionary. They take best practices from dozens of other fields and adapt them to golf. How To Practice Your Golf Swing Like The Pros ushers in a whole new era in teaching and learning about golf, and you will be at the cutting edge.
ABOUT the author: Eric Jones is passionate about the art and science of teaching golf. His unique coaching style blends success at the highest levels of competition with expertise in both the mechanics of the swing and the mental skills of championship athletes to provide insights that are at once simple and profoundly effective. No other golf instructor has his PGA professional credentials, a World Long Drive Championship title, and a Masters degree in Sport Psychology. He feels strongly that the future of golf instruction lies not just in improving the swing or enhancing mental skills, but in the intersection of both disciplines, where the mind and mechanics work together to create true high-performance results.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally over priced, December 27, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLF SWING LIKE THE PROS (Kindle Edition)
I own and like Eric's "The five keys to distance". Very well written and very informative. Plus the included CD. This "bookette", while somewhat informative, is a total rip off for the price. I looked for information on how many pages there were before my purchase, but didn't see any. While reading, I couldn't believe it, when it ended. I've read longer articles in Readers Digest! That's the last "book" of his I will order, and the last time I will order a book that doesn't list the number of pages on your site.

This review is from: HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLF SWING LIKE THE PROS (Kindle Edition)
I own and have been using Eric's "5 Keys to Distance" book and CD since they were introduced. Prior to the "How to Practice Your Golf Swing Like the Pros" my range sessions were, for the most part, highly unstructured. This new book has helped me use an analytical approach and develop a practice plan that builds on my strengths and helps focus on areas of improvement. In addition, my practice sessions are much more efficient and effective since I know my focus for the day and the drills I'll be using before I get to the range.

I recommend this book to anyone that wants to get more from their practice sessions and improve their golf game.

A review of "How To Practice Your Golf Swing Like The Pros," by Eric Jones

We've long known that the common denominator among golfers, who steadily improve, is their commitment to quality practice. Golfers can now rejoice! Eric Jones has crafted the defining practice manual, How to Practice Your Golf Swing Like the Pros, by drawing upon his breadth of experiences as a teaching professional, a sport psychologist, and as an elite performer. It's the book you've been waiting for, and it is available now at Amazon, kindle. From it you'll learn practice principles that will guide you to the next level of performance.

It's full of practice techniques you can use today to make your practice more fun and more productive.

Eric describes two main practice categories. Efficient practice is practicing to learn new skills, or to fix old ones, and is the most prevalent method used at your range. You'll learn to focus an equal amount of your practice time, and energy, on effective practice. That's practicing to refine your swing and to simulate on course play.

In an interesting divergence from mainstream golf teaching, Eric recommends that you spend an equal amount of time practicing to maximize your strengths as you do to improve your weaknesses.

By following the practice principles, by committing to the composite drills, by framing your practices as Eric describes, I'll guarantee that you'll steadily improve. You'll make consistent progress toward refining your swing and learn why that's more important than searching for a perfect one.

And, finally, you'll learn to practice so that your walk from the practice tee to the first tee will be one filled with confidence and trust. That will lead you to golf's holy grail of lower scores and more enjoyment. Without question, How To Practice Your Swing Like the Pros should be the nest addition to your golfing library.

Dr. Glen Albaugh, sport performance coach, and author of Winning The Battle Within.
