Synopsis

The techniques explained in Woods' golf instruction book do not reveal Tiger Woods' own predilections, but how he took care to make it a guide for everyone, men or women, young or old, tall or short. The book is structured differently from other books, starting at the green and progressing backwards - just the way Tiger learned to play. Its contents include: the yearn to learn; the putting green - last things first; a swing built to last; sand play - make the hard look easy; iron play - knocking down the flag; nail your fairway woods; the driver - go with all you've got; when golf gets ugly; how to manage your game; and making golf fun.

About this title

Review:

No athlete has changed his sport the way Tiger Woods has transformed the world of golf. The Tiger phenomenon has created a new legion of golfers, seduced by Woods's almost effortless mastery of this most difficult game. In How I Play Golf Woods reveals the many facets of his game and offers a plethora of tips and advice aimed at all levels of play. Unlike most golf guides, and perhaps somewhat surprising from a player best known for his long game, How I Play Golf begins with the short game--putting, chipping, and pitching--before moving onto swing mechanics and hitting off the tee. Produced in conjunction with the editors of Golf Digest, the book is lavishly photographed and illustrated and offers a gold mine of useful ideas and mental images Tiger has collected over the years. Throughout, Tiger recounts memorable shots from his relatively brief career; for example, his only "perfect" shot (a 3-wood on No. 14 at St. Andrews) and his first putt at the 1995 Masters (a 20-footer for birdie on No. 1 that missed and rolled off the green). How I Play Golf is not only a first-rate instructional guide, it also communicates a passion and respect for the game that beginners, hackers, and low handicappers should find inspiring. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards
