Extraordinary Golf: The Art of the Possible by Fred Shoemaker
The Inner Game of Golf Hardcover by W. Timothy Gallwey
These books focus on a more natural approach to the golf swing rather than try to fit you into a mold.
]]>is there such thing as the so-called BEST MANUAL?
swinging at the range w/ a pro golfer is still the best.
TIP:
find a instructor for kids and get him as your coach.
it might sound quite embarrassing,
but those folks are really great teachers.
i mean, they are patient..
and will really teach you even the basics.
]]>Unless you are an exceptional athlete that is blessed with very good rhythm, timing and hand-eye coordination, or you have lots of time and money to spend on lessons and practice, you will never be able to get consistently good results with a conventional golf swing.
If you want a swing that is easier to master take a look at some of the alternative golf swings. This one worked for me.
You cannot learn this from a book. Instead try to get the help of a good golf pro and practice.
]]>Reading is fine for gaining an understanding of the mechanics or mental aspects, but to fix your swing, you are going to need a professional to see what exactly you are doing and what exactly you need to do to fix it.
For most beginners, hitting a 3 or 4 iron is very difficult. I would suggest that no beginner even have these clubs in their bag. Use hybrids instead, they are much more forgiving and will give you a better flight.
