Lessons And Teachings From A Lifetime In Golf

Harvey Penick was a teacher. He got as much joy watching a beginner get the ball in the air as he did teaching an eventual U.S. Open winner. Every time he found something about the swing, stance or the mental approach that proved to be consistently successful, Harvey Penick made notes in his little red notebook. He gathered notes for 60 years and let no one read them, except his son Tinsley, until the publishing of this book. Timeless wisdom that goes far beyond golf. Instruction is simple and direct, written in small, easy to pick up and read sections and is easily tracked in the table of contents.

The book is written in an easy and personal style that warms your heart and makes you love the author. Harvey Penick began his golfing career as a caddie in 1913 at the Austin Texas Country Club. He later became an instructor and has instructed many well known pros such as Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls and Kathy Whitworth. Bud Shrake is a former newspaper columnist, Sports Illustrated writer and novelist.

An absolute must for any golfer's library.
