Adair, author of The Physics of Baseball "Jorgensen tells golfers what they ought to be doing and why, the correct technique according to the principles of physics." Golf Weekly In The Physics of Golf readers learn how to apply the principles of dynamics and energy to perfect their golf stroke, to choose the right clubs, and to make the handicap system work optimally. Using stroboscopic photographs, the author shows what effect small changes in their swing, have on the distance the ball travels. This thoroughly engaging book provides golfers with tips concerning the critical components of a good swing plus advice on how to take their game to a higher level by increasing their understanding of the technical aspects of the golf stroke.

Review

From the reviews:

"... Gives new insights and precise views into the forces and torques developed in the downswing.... Thank you, Dr. Jorgensen...We will all treasure your book." American Golf Pro

"The heart of golfer Ted Jorgensen's delightful book lies in his analysis of the swing of the golf club and how, armed with insights from that analysis, you, he and I might all swing the club better and play better golf . . . [The book] is designed to be accessible to the casual reader while satisfying the critical student. But first word or last, for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." Physics Today (BOB ADAIR, AUTHOR OF PHYSICS OF BASEBALL)

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot.
