The Plane Truth for Golfers
"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. This extraordinary book will be the most revolutionary instructional book since Ben Hogan's Five Lessons."
--Peter Jacobsen, Seven-time PGA Tour event winner Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked in the "Top 100 Teachers" list of Golf magazine, Jim Hardy is a veritable scholar of swing. He's been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977, and in The Plane Truth for Golfers, he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time. Hardy's revolutionary approach is simple: There are two sets of fundamentals to the swing, not one. There is the one-plane swing, for more athletic players, and the two-plane swing, suitable for players of all abilities. Understanding these concepts is crucial to your improvement, and Hardy breaks them down into easy-to-follow steps, complete with dozens of photographs. .

In The Nicklaus Way, Andrisani also looks at Nicklaus's tee-to-green game, sharing with golfers the ins and outs of this great golfer's uncanny shot-making game. The instruction is easy to follow, so golfers will have no excuse for not being able to hit everything from a power fade drive to a biting short iron to a long putt..

The X-Factor Swing
For every golfer who wants to drive the ball farther down the fairway, the X-Factor will show them how. Jim McLean's phenomenal discovery of the secret to added distance has been the featured cover story of a bestselling issue of Golf magazine, the subject of a bestselling video, X-Factor, and has been integral to the raging success of the Jim McLean GolfSchools across the country. Jim McLean's theory is that it isn't how much a golfer turns, but how much the shoulders turn in relation to the turn of the hips, that creates the power behind a swing. He introduced his theory to a sports specialist who tested it out on pros like John Daly using a Sportsense Swing Motion Trainer (SMT)-a high-tech swing analysis machine which revealed that the differential between the turn of the shoulders and the turn of the hips creates the torque and the power in the golfer's drive. With The X-Factor Swing, McLean will teach the average golfer how to drive the ball like the pros..

Golf Rules Plain & Simple
As befitting a royal and ancient game, golf's rules are complicated and often confusing On the PGA Tour, players have tournament officials to help keep them on their toes. Those not fortunate enough to be on the Tour are left to the mercy of the official Rules of Golf--a fine book, but somewhat bogged down in legalese. To remedy this situation, veteran golf writer John Andrisani teamed up with PGA Tour tournament official Mark Russell to create Golf Rules Plain and Simple--a plain-spoken guide to dealing with 37 common rule violations. Some of the rules seem too strict for the weekend duffer (are you really going to penalize your opponent two strokes for asking you what club you used?), but committed golfers will want to abide by them anyway. After all, golf is a game of honor. With its compact size and durable covers, Golf Rules Plain and Simple is the perfect addition to any golf bag. --Sunny Delaney.

Golf Heaven: Insiders Remember Their First Trip to Augusta National Golf Club
Since its founding by Bobby Jones in 1933, the Augusta National Golf Club has become the most fabled, mythologized, and controversial golf course in the world. It's also the most exclusive — which means that for most of us, this book is the closest we'll come to experiencing it. In Golf Heaven, celebrated golf writer John Andrisani presents twenty-five first-person narratives — by pro golfers, celebrities, politicians, business people, and others — about playing the course and being a guest at the club for the first time. The list of contributors includes everyone from Bill Gates to Annika Sorenstam, Clint Eastwood to Charlie Rose, Bill Murray to Rudy Giuliani. These are intimate, never-before-told stories that we never thought we'd hear — from misadventures on Magnolia Lane to first-tee jitters, from what it's like to spend the night in the legendary "Crow's Nest" to a tour of the club's vast wine cellar, from high jinks in the caddie shack to the club's secret recipe for clam chowder (the "best in the world," according to many). .

The Short Game Magic of Tiger Woods: An Analysis of Tiger Woods' Pitching, Chipping, Sand Play, and Putting Technique s
Sure, it's the 300-plus-yard explosions that draw oohs and ahhs and envy from the gallery, but it's the soft touch around the putting surface that saves strokes and wins tournaments. When Woods is on, his short game is as good as it gets--accurate, deft, creative, even, as the title of Andrisani's analysis implies, magical; when he's not, he's just another grinder down the pack regardless of his awesome power and potential. Andrisani, collaborator on fine instructionals with Fred Couples and Butch Harmon, casts his seasoned eye on Woods's marvelous facility around the green in a slim volume packed with useful information, examination, technique, and drills. In clear, simple prose with accompanying pictures, he uses Woods as the model for pitching, chipping, sandplay, and putting-- starting with his preshot routines (reading lies, selecting clubs, and visualizing shots), and continuing with Woods's address of the ball and follow through. By deconstructing Tiger's technique, he aims to help you construct one that works for yourself. "There is no doubt that Tiger is a genius," Andrisani observes, "but he wasn't born a superb short game player. He built this talent through hard, imaginative practice." Andrisani's target--well hit--offers a foundation for going out and building your own..
