Out of the Box Golf: Exploring the Innovative and Unconventional

Humans tend toward conformity and golfers are no exception. It's precisely for this reason that certain methods and philosophies have been perpetuated through generations of golfers even if those approaches aren't the best or optimal. It creates a general reluctance to experiment, try new things, and test different ideas. Swimming against the currents of conformity have been the mavericks and innovators of golf history. In a quantifiable way, this book explores the adoption of unconventional methods in golf history, analyzes current innovations, and explores game changing possibilities of the future. While it's never been just about physical talent, strength, or coordination, golf has increasingly become a game of wits, the ability to out-think, out-prepare, and out-maneuver opponents before ever setting foot on the first tee.
