I read this book and it made perfect sense. I tried the method and it worked for me.Great book!!

very detailed explanation of the correct way to swing a golf club,

I am hitting the ball straighter than I ever have thanks to the

method described in this book, which translates to lowering my

scores, its great keeping the ball in the fairway..

I have a hard copy I inherited from my dad. He was a very good golfer and hit the ball further and straighter than any of the people he ever played with. He played during the 1960's before metal woods and advanced club design. Give this method a try. It is a left sided model based on obtaining square contact in the most logical and consistent way. Finding an easy way to start the downswing is still problematic for me. If you find a natural and easy solution please post it!

I had this book in paperback form many years ago but it must have been thrown out during a move. This method is about left side dominance during the golf swing whereas more recent methods seem to be about right side dominance and turning the body. This Square-to-Square Method is how I hit the ball the straightest and play the best. I'm glad I was able to to get another copy of the book. I'm not going to lose this one.

I know that no one reading this review will believe it, but it is completely true. I promise. I took a 30 minute lesson from the pro who now (not then) is the oldest living PGA professional (you can look up his name with that information). This occured in the mid 1970s in the Philadelphia area. You will be able to figure out exactly where, if interested. At the time of my lesson, I had played a hundred (or more?) rounds of golf, had broken 100 only once (a 96), and generally was a double-triple bogey player. My putting was not all that bad, but my ball-striking was atrocious if not downright ugly. My handicap at the time was 27 or 28, and that was the lowest handicap I had ever had up to that time. For me to shoot 110-115 was not at all unusual. A good day would be where I hoped to have a chance to break 100, which as I said had happened only once. The Pro taught me square-to-square (to the extent such can be done in 30 minutes). He weakened my grip, closed my club face at address, had me take it back square, maintain a flat (square) wrist at the top of the backswing, and then just let it go. At the end of that 30 minute lesson, I had in fact been transformed into a 14-15 handicap. Yes, in 30 minutes. That same day, playing the same home course I almost always played, I shot an 85. I hit the first three greens in regulation. It was not a fluke. On the basis of only one 30-minute lesson, my game became one where thereafter I played consistently in the mid 80s.
