Little Red Golf Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf - Hardcover

A unique blend of practical tips and parables revealing the important truths behind the game, 'Harvey Penick's Little Red Golf Book 'steers clear of all the technical jargon associated with the golf swing and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play to the best of their ability.

In a career spanning over sixty years, during which time he has coached amateur players and professionals of the calibre of Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw and Bryon Nelson, legendary golf teacher and former University of Texas coach Harvey Penick has kept a running record of all his observations on the game. Now with the help of novelist and sportswriter Bud Shrake, he has turned his thoughts and words of wisdom into a book on golf instruction. The result is a charming collection of over eighty homespun lessons and teachings from a man whose simple and common-sense approach to life and, above all, his love for golf shine through.

No extravagant terms, no complex analysis. Penick tells it straight, whether it concerns holding the club correctly, how to knock strokes off your game, or playing with a positive attitude. His book is full of valuable advice that will inspire you with confidence, and help you improve your golf and enjoy your game.
