Review

"...From playing against each other in friendly competitions to taking lessons from him while I was on tour, I have heard Tom talk at length about golf, and I have seen him execute golf shots at a very high level. He has studied and practiced the game for a long time, and I would highly recommend taking time to learn from him. I think you'll like this book."
--Missie Berteotti, LPGA Tour player

"Tom Patri is one of America's leading instructors, and his Six-Spoke Approach to playing golf makes learning fun and simple. This book is great reading for all skill levels."
--Bob Ford, PGA master professional, 1988 PGA club professional Player of the Year, four-time member of the PGA Cup Team

"Tom's Six-Spoke Approach is one of the most impressive compilations for teaching the game that I have seen. His knowledge, scope of material, and clarity of presentation, along with his extensive teaching background and playing record, make this book a 'must have' for golf professionals, teachers, serious golfers, and students of all abilities."
--Charles Robson, Executive Director, Metropolitan PGA

"Not only is it clear that Tom has a great amount of knowledge of the golf swing, he is gifted in his ability to convey that knowledge clearly and concisely...I would recommend this book for every golfer who wishes to raise his or her level of play significantly."
--Cathy Johnston-Forbes, LPGA Tour player

This review is from: The Six-Spoke Approach to Golf (Paperback)

One of the best instruction books to come along in years; the approach is simple, pragmatic, noncompromising and effective. From getting your body in golf shape to picking out the right equipment to keeping your mind in the present moment when on the course, Patri and Moran hit all the right notes. This is a must have if one is serious about improving all aspects of one's golf game.

This review is from: The Six-Spoke Approach to Golf (Paperback)

I found the book very informative and easy to read. It lays down a plan on how to improve your game and requires you to commit a half hour several days a week if you truly want to improve your game. Each chapter builds upon the previous one and I found it worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars An all round golf coaching manual, August 20, 2005

By 

RayM "Ray" (Wicklow, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Six-Spoke Approach to Golf (Paperback)

This book is the first coaching manual, I've seen, that covers the non-technical, as well as the technical, aspects of the game. Tom has such a common sense approach, and it is such a fun read, that I found it very easy to put it all into practice. And guess what, not only did my golf game improve, but my enjoyment of the game is back. Time to go out there and have fun again!!
