Don't Ask What I Shot
By: Lewis, Catherine M.
Published by: McGraw-Hill

“Golf . . . is a sport in which the whole American family can participate--fathers and mothers, sons and daughters alike. It offers healthy respite from daily toil, refreshment of body and mind.”. --President Dwight D. Eisenhower. On January 24, 1953, four days after his inauguration, the New York Times reported that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had been spotted on the White House lawn practicing his short irons in the direction of the Washington Monument. This image of “The Golfing General” was one that the American public quickly became accustomed to, as Eisenhower is said to have played nearly 800 rounds during the course of his two-term presidency. He befriended the game's most beloved players, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson, and was the subject of hundreds of golf jokes and cartoons. The public's awareness of Eisenhower's obsession with golf led directly to the sport's mid-century surge in popularity. In Don't Ask What I Shot , noted historian Catherine M. Lewis offers a unique alternate portrait of Ike and this watershed period in American history. “Any time you have a person in the position of President Eisenhower, who was so enthusiastic about golf and had the press paying attention to his many excursions on the golf course, it was going to make people aware of the game and how much he enjoyed playing it.”. --Arnold Palmer. " Don't Ask What I Shot is a fascinating examination of one of golf's pivotal decades, and the remarkable president who did more to popularize the game than any other in history.". -Mark Frost, award-winning author of Grand Slam and The Greatest Game Ever Played. "Whatever remained to be done to remove the last traces of the average man's carefully nurtured prejudice against a game originally linked with the wealthy and aloof was done by President Eisenhower.". --Herbert Warren Wind, renowned golf writer more...

The Downhill Lie
By: Hiaasen, Carl
Published by: Knopf Publishing Group

Originally drawn to the game by his father, Carl Hiaasen wisely quit golfing in 1973. But some ambitions refuse to die, and as the years–and memories of shanked 7-irons faded, it dawned on Carl that there might be one thing in life he could do better in middle age than he could as a youth. more...

Driven
By: Cook, Kevin
Published by: Gotham

A look inside the high-pressure creation of the new breed of superstar golfers. No longer the realm of quaint traditions and a few weekly hours practicing chip shots, junior golf has evolved into a fierce training ground, where ultra-high-tech cameras provide cutting-edge swing analysis and young players spend almost every waking hour on the driving range. Reporting from the front lines of this brave new game, veteran golf journalist Kevin Cook spends a year inside the guarded, security-gated David Leadbetter Golf Academy, a three-hundred- acre golf mecca where teenagers attend an on-campus high school and live in dorms alongside state-of- the-art putting greens, video facilities, and manicured links—at a cost to their parents of more than $100,000 a year. As often as not, the parents are more driven than the kids. Driven also explores the scientific knowledge that has allowed upstarts to uncork 320-yard drives and to play better than Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson played when they were juniors long ago—way back in the 1990s. Cook’s subjects include teen superstar Michelle Wie and her pushy parents; Ty Tyron, the youngest player to ever win a Tour card (now a burnout at the age of twenty-three); Mu Hu, the Chinese teen commanded by his government to become the Yao Ming of golf; and tennis superstar Ivan Lendl’s daughter, Isabelle, who might be the next Annika Sorenstam. Destined to change the way the world perceives the game, Driven is a compelling, behind-the-scenes look at golf’s next generation. more...

Every Shot Must Have a Purpose
By: Nilsson, Pia
Published by: Gotham

Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life. As coaches to some of golf’s top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They don’t believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don’t even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision. Unlike any other golf book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player’s game. The book’s revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe it’s possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power. An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose is inspiration for life, not just the links. more...
