Jim's comment: This really is the golfer's bible. Not as well known as it should be. A must for any golfer's library.

Jim's comment: In this cheerily self-deprecating work, Coyne—an Irish-American Philadelphian who never knew much about his roots and avoided exercise—describes how he undertook a wildly ambitious plan to spend four months playing over 40 golf courses in Ireland and getting to them by walking.

Jim's comment: You will not be able to put this book down. Fun and compelling.

Jim's comment: The Impact Zone is a unique instructional guide in that everything in it either focuses on or applies to improving a golfer’s understanding and execution of impact.

Jim's comment: Novosel's observed frame-by-frame analysis of video and saw that the backswing-to-downswing elapsed-time ratio of professional golfers is 3:1. Novosel recorded tones in that ratio (a CD of sounds accompanies his book), had amateurs of various skill levels listen while they swing, speeding up their tempo until they were grooving to the 3:1 ratio. Thus retooled, their clubhead speeds on Novosel's charts are indeed faster and translate into more distance.

Jim's comment: A must-have coffee table book on the links golf of Ireland.
