Book Description
"Rudy was always there for me. I can't reiterate enoughhow much it meant to have someone there to teach me the basics and guide me along the way" --Tiger Woods Tiger Woods's childhood coach shows parents how to bring out the natural athlete in their sons and daughters, no matter what their skill level. Every year approximately 3 million Americans take their first swing at golf. Most of them are young, and most are taught by their parents. But golf is a difficult sport to learn, and even harder to teach. Now the man who coached a golfing prodigy named Tiger Woods shows parents how they can teach their child to excel at the game. Rudy Duran's unique and proven program is divided into skill levels that can be adapted to suit any child's needs. Lacing his book with anecdotes from his own youthful experiences, his years with Tiger, and his work with other young golfers, Rudy starts with basic instructions and etiquette, and then explores putting, swings, and general knowledge. His words are simple, to the point, and illustrated with numerous photos. Additional highlights include a dictionary of terms, a section on skill-strengthening games, quizzes, and Rudy's own "Personal Par" system, which will help golfers evaluate themselves and give them realistic goals to aim for. Best of all, Rudy makes his lessons fun. He reminds parents that golf is a game and that a child's enthusiasm and delight can be the most rewarding lesson of all.
