When I spotted this book in the bookstore I cynically thought "Here is Tiger Wood's high school coach trying to make a few bucks off of Tiger's name when we all know that Tieger was an outstanding golfer before he entered high school." I bought the book anyway and now I'm glad I did. This book gives the average golfer practical advice on how to practice,keep statistics,etc. It is totally different than any other golf book I have read. I have followed the practice routine outlined by the author for two weeks and have already noticed an improvement. After reading this book I am excited about my golf game because I know I am going to improve. The book is also sprinkled with Tiger anecdotes which illustrate points the author is making. I'm so happy that I saw past my original cynicism and purchased this book. Mr. Crosby, thanks for a great book.

A very sensible approach to cutting your handicap! The author maintains that he only has 3 months to develop a winning team; and he can't screw with swing planes etc. He needs to improve the teams scores. He lays out the strategy nicely.

Best $ I ever spent on a golf Book!

...the book is a great incentive for any golfer who wants to set goals for their game and needs to develop a good practice routine. Interesting stories and photos about Tiger in his high school days and practical advice from Coach Crosby. Highly recommended by this player. Wonderful gift for the golfer in your life.

Crosby's book has lots of good tips on improving your game for beginners, occasional players, or those who don't like to practice (99% of us). He also, which a lot authors miss, explains in terms usuable regardless if you are left or right handed. I especially like the section on keeping stats; even after a couple of rounds, I could see immediately which areas I needed to work on. Only quibble is the book has a little too much Tiger (the photos in the middle of the book add nothing). Wish I could have given it a 4.5.

Very good book. A must for every level golfer. The author does a great job of explaining how to improve your game and does it with stories. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

If you're looking for a book crammed with technical info on the golf swing, look elsewhere, Crosby's perspective is that of a high-school coach, who only gets his players for a few hours a week for 5 months, and has to get them winning matches fast. Unlike a pro, he has no interest in selling new clubs or more lessons.

He has a common-sense writing style. He stresses the importance of the Practice Range, short game, putting, knowing the course and keeping stats, all based on making the best of the swing you have.

Quite a few Tiger anecdotes of course, including high-school photos and match scorecards.

This is one of the best golf books written on basic imformation.
I believe this would be imformative to all golfers, beginners or low handicappers.
