Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1958, Leon Crump took a week off from his job to play golf, fell in with a group of gamblers and won $1,300. He hasn't gone back to work since. For almost 40 years now, he's been golfing his way around the South in a renegade career filled with rollercoaster highs and lows. On his best day, he's won a years salary; his worst set him back almost that much. Filled with high drama and deadpan humor, this compulsively readable book tells how Crump became America's preeminent golf hustler. Along the way, it also reveals some hard-earned truths to help readers battle their way through their own weekend wars. There are hints on how to psyche yourself up and "read" opponents; advice on when and how to bet; and ingenious tricks such as "doctoring" clubs or driving balls out of Dixie cups. Offering a fresh, offbeat approach to golf, Drive For Show, Putt for Dough is sure to be a hit with today's crop of take-no-prisoners players.

Then one day, Peter agreed to play nine holes with Ben, a guest at his country club. Little did Peter realize that those nine holes would change his life and reconnect him with his forgotten past. After a few holes, Ben had given Peter not only valuable lessons about golf, but also important insight into the meaning of life and success.In his first novel, Andrew Linch draws on his love for golf to tell a story of one man's search for significance and meaning that had led him away from the values he learned as a child. Andrew's goal is to show you that success without a spiritual foundation in God is not success at all. If you enjoy golf or if you are looking for the definition of a life well-lived, then Drive for Show, Putt for Dough.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fundamentals of Putting" is one of the most-informative books about putting ever written for golfers. It is a straightforward, easy-to-read instructional book based on scientific principles and covers every aspect of putting, from the basic mechanics to green reading and mental control, as well as putter technology. The book presents three new putting concepts not previously understood by many instructors and allows readers to better understand the natural stroke and how the body wants to move, rather than how the mind - filled with conflicting "methods" and manipulated motions - tries to instruct the body to move. The foundation for "The Fundamentals of Putting" is the Certified Putting Instructor (CPI) curriculum adopted and/or approved by seven PGAs around the world. This CPI program, initiated by and in partnership with the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, fills a void in the educational requirements to become a PGA professional. A Board of advisors, 10 of which are internationally respected researchers with PhDs in various golf-related disciplines, supports this program.

You will also learn how to determine the distance needed to sink the putt, where to aim, and how to actually hit the putt where you are aiming it! All of the skills for draining putts are together in this complete putting system!Everyone wishes they could hit 300-yard drives and we all go to the range and pound driver after driver shot, rarely coming close to that 300-yard drive. "Drive for show, putt for dough." We've all heard the saying. We vow to work on putting, but we get to the range or the course and if we warm up at all, putting is often neglected or we mindlessly putt a few without really having a goal, a routine, or any way to know if what we are doing is helping to improve our putting.The truth is, most golfers will never be able to hit 300-yard drives, most of the pros don't hit it that far. It takes a level of timing and athleticism that most recreational golfers will never possess. Most golfers don't spend enough time working on their putting, the one area of your game where timing, strength, and athleticism are not necessary for incredible improvements in performance. Putting accounts for nearly half of your strokes in a round and yet it is mostly neglected when we practice.So, ask yourself this question- "how much time do you currently practice putting in a month?" 30 minutes, an hour, two hours? What if you could practice putting for 30 minutes to an hour per month and develop putting skills that take the pros hours and hours per week to master? That is what I hope to teach you in this book.If you're like me you have a busy life with many demands on your time. It Is very difficult to carve out practice time for your golf game. Add to that the fact that there are so many aspects of your game that can use practice, like driving, chipping, sand play, full swing, and of course putting. With all of these demands you're probably lucky if you play golf, much less find the time to practice. The purpose of this book is to teach you a method for mastering the critical skills of putting with the least amount of practice time required. With a very small investment in time to read this book and practice the method described, you will become an excellent putter and shave 7-12 strokes per round from your golf game guaranteed. This is the first time there has been one book that offers everything you need in one comprehensive system to help you putt like the pros!

Rotella's mental rules, which have helped some of the greatest golfers in the world to become champion putters can now work for golfers everywhere. With everything from true-life stories from some of the greats to dozens of game-changing practice drills, Putting out of Your Mind is the new bible of putting, and is sure to bring about immediate results for anyone who plays the game.

Book excerpt: It’s game on in uncovering the many sports-inspired terms, expressions, sayings and images that populate our everyday language! That’s the challenge that this book takes on, using a playbook for each sport. It kicks off with an opening run through the game of football, then it’s out of the gate with wire-to-wire coverage of horse racing. After going for the fences and covering all the bases in the sport of baseball, the ball is kept rolling, despite many a sticky wicket, through the long-running game of cricket. A blow-by-blow account of the sweet science of boxing is followed by play-by-play accounts of 35 more sports that have been added to the roster. At the finish line, the top three sports, are scored on their relative contributions to everyday language, and declared win, place and show. The discussion is enlivened by lots of sports humour and anecdotes along with quotations from sports personalities some of which may sound quite familiar, much like déjà vu all over again.
