When Tiger Woods has a glitch in his game, he heads directly to Butch Harmon. In his previous book, The Four Cornerstones of Golf, Harmon stressed the fundamentals. In Playing Lessons he takes a page from the classic A Round of Golf With Tommy Armour and accompanies you, in the form of three players of varying skill, on the course. And it is not just any course, but an amalgamated field of dreams comprising 18 of the most spectacular and interesting holes in golf from Shinnecock Hills to Winged Foot to Augusta to Merion. Stroke by stroke, Harmon walks and talks you through the processes. His insights offer proven techniques for lowering scores as he helps you shoot and think your way between the tee and the cup. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Booklist
Golf instructional: The phrase conjures up another short-shelf-life photo album featuring a perfect-swinging pro pounding laser beams out of sight. Perish the thought with this well-designed, rewarding guide by the teacher of Tiger Woods. Addressing three player types (A, a single-digit handicapper; B, who longs to score in the 70s; and C, a short-driving slicer who dreams of breaking 90 [like this reviewer]), Harmon walks them over an imaginary round that consist of 18 "real-life" holes, including the most televised par 3s in America--hole 7 at Pebble Beach and hole 12 at Augusta. So off the first tee, this lesson has two mass-interest qualities: play on classy, history-soaked holes and advice from an expert beneficial to every level of regular weekend duffer. Harmon's stroke narrative makes sure A, B, and C make mistakes on every hole (no problem for C), and after they can their putts, he points out their errors, almost always mental. Attractively illustrated, this is an appealing three-in-one lesson. Gilbert Taylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
