Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The golfer beating you is not in your fourball.He is the version of you who hit a 7-iron to that green fifteen years ago. He has no aches, no wind against, and no plugged lie, and he picks which of his rounds counts.He costs you a pattern of shots rather than one, and every one of them is a decision made on fifteen-year-old information.There is no swing instruction in this book. Nothing about the takeaway, the hips, the tempo or the plane. Nothing about fitness, stretching or equipment, and nothing medical. A page of text is bad at teaching a body to move and good at teaching a mind to decide.What is here instead: how to set a personal par for every hole you play, how to re-mark a shot that was disappointing at forty and is good at sixty-five, what to do in the ninety seconds before a first tee shot in front of strangers, how to play a par four you can no longer reach, the rule for the three holes after a disaster, a pre-shot routine written out word for word, and a fifty round programme in five blocks.One chapter is about loss, and it does not hurry you past it. Some of what has gone is genuinely gone, and a book that pretends otherwise is no use on the 14th tee.For a club golfer past fifty who is still carrying an old scorecard around.No swing instruction. No fitness or medical content. Not coaching and not therapy.
