This book is a good read for beginners. Wonderful advice on finding the right instructor and the importance of lessons. There are good examples to support his reasoning.

Misses:
Some of the chapters appeared redundent, as some of the points from one chapter seemed to be carried into another. Some of the chapters were rather boring because of this, and the book lacked the flow that I was looking for from subject to subject. While it does offer some good advice for beginning/novice golfers, I found it to be of no significant help to more accomplished players. Maybe after reading arguably the greatest golfing book he's ever written, "Golf is a Game of Perfect", I was expecting more.

Naive in my opinion some of reviews. Everyone knows at some point to play better it takes a swing coach. But not everyone knows how to interview and pick out the best for you. This book shows us how.

Also, not everyone knows the mental games we have to win about practice, practice, practice in order to raise our games. If it was so simple and easy, as the Doc critiques, why don't most golfers improve then?

I've made great strides in past nine years, and still pushing handicap down. This stuff is what it takes. Doc is the best!

Little contained in this book not already known by serious golfer or athlete. Chapters about choosing a pro and sticking with the pro over years took many pages to describe something that is mostly common sense. On the other hand, advice about commitment to an improvement program, the improvement cycle, value of a systematic approach and the time needed to make significant improvement rang true. I'll see over the years what sticks.
