Natural Golf: A Lifetime of Better Golf

This is great! I learned the technique in an hour. I had my clubs bent up 4 degrees to compensate for the upright stance.It's neat to be able to aim at a target, and hit a ball straight to it. Your back swing is no higher than your shoulders.You eliminate all the angles of the wrists and elbows. You don't sway, because your stance is wide. Your grip is left handstrong, right way right, like nailing with a hammer. You learn to acquire distance with solid hits and confident followthrough. I'm hitting in the low 80's now, having lowered my scores by 10 in less than a month. The pictures and philosophyare helpful, and encouraging. Golf is not life or death, its more important, and like life, keep it simple stupid. This book makes it easy, fun and gives you confidence you will improve every time you go out, without stress on your back.Get it. Ed.

I found the book interesting, and the method worked for me - sometimes. To be more effective requires purchasing specially made clubs. It is a good concept, but requires a larger investment than I cared to make.

I must say that I don't quite agree with the previous reviewer that this book is "intoxicating" and "life changing," but it is fairly interesting. It describes a compact golf swing (presumably to be more controllable and repeatable) that has a rather unorthodox grip. The grip apparently is also designed to simplify the swing so as to make it more repeatable and easier to make solid contact with the ball. I haven't taken what I have read in this book out on the course yet, but whether it works or not, the book seems to clearly explain the "Natural Golf" swing so that most anyone could follow the instructions.

Is golf about mastering the mind-numbing complexities of the conventional swing, or is about finding the easiest way to move the ball around the course in as few strokes as possible? If you vote for the latter, buy this book and evaluate Natural Golf for yourself. This book is intoxicating.
