The Proper Golfing Handbook uses words, photos and videos to explain all the key skills. The idea is to understand the theory first, then see it in action. This is a book that can be taken with you onto the golf course in your golf bag for when your game needs that instant fix. If you are a complete beginner the early chapters give a firm base on which to build your game: grip, stance, set-up, and a relaxed swing. These are the foundations to which you must return before each shot, and are the basis for the effortless power we all want. If you are an improver the book acts as your reset. It explains how to make all the different types of shot, and how to get out of trouble. And since golf is the ultimate psychological game it helps you find a more positive and realistic mindset. In short, The Proper Golfing Handbook shows how to fix your game for good. If you are an experienced golfer wanting to take your game to a new level, help is at hand. Use The Proper Golfing Handbook to check the basics, then learn how to fade and draw the ball, make high and low shots, and play from poor or sloping lies. It will also help you score better by managing the course. If you are a senior golfer Julian Mellor shows how to prepare your body for golf using exercises and good warm-up routines. He teaches a realistic swing for life, one that will avoid injury but still deliver power and accuracy. All golfers will appreciate the final chapter on common faults and how to fix them, and particularly how to reset mid-round if you ‘lose it’. Read on, relax, get out of your own way and let the magic happen. Proper golfing is within your grasp!
