If you find that your golf game just isn’t improving, golf lessons may help you gain some insight as to where you may be able to improve your game. By allowing a professional to analyze your game and show you where mistakes are occurring, you can begin to hone in on areas that will result in better scores. In addition to areas that require work being revealed, lessons can sometimes reveal simple fixes to your game that can make an immediate difference in your results. No matter how long you’ve been playing the game, golf lessons can always show you a means of improving some area of your approach.

The Little Book of Golf Tips

Posted in Uncategorized on September 13th, 2010 by admin – 963 Comments

The Little Book of Golf Tips by Eddie Lester is now available as a free Internet resource called The Little “Online” Book of Golf Tips. This is a sensible read, and Lester gears many of the tips toward the mental game, which is where most novice players struggle. However, there’s enough insight here for even the intermediate players to learn something valuable. The book even digs down into philosophies about playing the game. This is a danger area for golf resources because many of them end up coming across as self-help rhetoric, but Lester always manages to maintain a steady keel throughout. We especially like how he encourages people to print The Little “Online” Book of Golf Tips and pass it around to their friends. The only thing he asks is that people do not recreate the guide online without his permission.

A Beginning Golf Lesson

If you are brand new to the game of golf, before you even pick up a club, you should learn a little bit about the terminology and etiquette.

Hopefully, you know that a birdie or eagle is not something that flys, but a good score in golf. A two iron is not a household appliance for pressing the wrinkles out of your clothes and a dogleg is not an animal part.

Etiquette is an important part of golf. A good lesson for a beginner golfer is to learn the basics. Don’t talk while someone is teeing off. Don’t stand in the line of vision of somebody who is putting. Never get impatient and “hit up” on a group ahead of you that you think is playing too slow.

Eventually, as you play a few rounds, you will be comfortable knowing you are playing the game the right way.

Sacred Nine

I love this game more than I can express in words. I not only love practicing and playing the game, I love reading books about golf. I don’t just read training books. I love all books about golf. This includes the larger history of the game, personal histories, and the history of various golf courses. I’m like a golf book junkie. I will read any books about golf, and I just can’t get enough. I’ve read most of what the local bookstore and local library have to offer. Recently I have turned my attention to rare books about golf. I hunt for them online, such as eBay, and at used bookstores. My most recent acquisition is a charming read, The Sacred Nine, which has been out of print for nearly 20 years.
