The captain of the winning 1993 United States Ryder Cup Team teaches golfers of all skill levels how to go beyond mechanics and take a strategic approach to golf. Chapters cover how to "rehearse" for matches, create "personal par" charts, and get the most out of practice rounds, as well as tactics for conquering the course itself.

Short and Sweet on Strategy,
By Lorenzo (Gulf Coast, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Watson's Strategic Golf (Paperback)
If your golf mechanics are ready to use on the golf course, then it's time to think about how to lower your score. Tom Watson is one of the best strategists in the game of professional golf. Read this book to discover how he picks clubs and where to hit them in various circumstances, how he hits repeatably shaped shots (straight, high and low fades, high and low draws, skyballs and worm-burning knockdowns), and how to get the advantage in matchplay. The goal is to lower the golf score, not to hit the world's most pure drive. And this is a good thing.Highly recommended.

Hands On Golf Book to Play Better,
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Tom Watson's Strategic Golf (Paperback)
Step by step, this book is like a playing lesson. From the green backwards, Watson helps us realize what course maintenance is all about. This book will really help us begin to think a round out, rather than just look at the yardage, the obstacles and let it rip. Smart golf book. Higly recommended.
