The Eight Step Swing: The Top Selling Swing System that has Revolutionized the Teaching Industry

From Library Journal
Many golfers make a big deal about their bad shots yet say very little regarding the brilliant shots they make during a round. In the introduction to this book, McLean, one of the most renowned golf coaches in the world, focuses on eliminating the negative thoughts most golfers experience. He throws new light on the game for the beginning or weekend duffer by providing strong commentary on such issues as watching the swings of professional golfers on television and driving the ball with authority. His book's main strength is a wonderfully precise description of golfing's fundamental hip/shoulder turn position, impact, and follow-through. This section aside, McLean is not one to create magic with words. However, his narrative is extremely interesting and informative. Recommended for collections in need of a guide for beginning golfers.Jim Paxman, Tennessee State Univ., NashvilleCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
