Golf: the Game for Everyone is designed for golfers at all levels. Drills are included for the beginner which emphasize the proper grip, stance and how to swing the club. Drills for intermediate golfers include coaching points on how to improve the golf swing with “swing keys” and “helpful hints.” The mental aspects of the game and how to approach each shot from a mental standpoint are included for the advanced golfer.

The concept of golf as a game for everyone is enhanced by discussions of your attitude toward the game, gaining the mental edge in golf, and how to develop a positive self image for golf.

How to practice to improve your golf game is discussed in detail, along with how to attain peak practice results.

Extensive coaching points on the putting game and the entire short game enable the golfer at all levels to become a better player. Ideas for peaking your game on the course with special drills appeal to all golfers along with stretching and conditioning drills to improve your game off of the course.
