50 Greatest Golf Tips: Making the Dream Round a Reality

The world’s greatest golf advice condensed to fifty practical tips.

“I wasted a lot of time believing that every ‘secret’ I came across would transform my game, but it’s when you can take that tip and test it yourself that you give yourself an exceptional advantage,” writes John Richardson.

An enthusiastic but average golfer, John was keen to improve his game. So he set himself a challenge—in one year, he would take thirty-three strokes off his game and play a level par round. Against all the odds, he did it.

During that year of living, breathing, and sleeping golf, John delved deeply into how golfers hone their skills and met some of the best coaches and players in the world. He also obsessively tested hundreds of tips to see which ones really worked. In this book, he shares the very best of those tips and how they helped him transform his game.

50 Greatest Golf Tips is essential reading for golfers who want to make their dream round a reality and includes brilliant advice on improving your swing, putting and short game, and the all-important mental exercises that can give you the edge.
