Rating: 5/5 from 10 reviews Fantastic Read!This is a wonderful book about a relationship that begins as golfer and teacher and later develops into friendship. I've been interested in Mike Austin since I discovered that he taught Mike Dunaway, a former world long drive champion, how to swing. Although Mike Austin's videos provide incredible golf instruction, I got the impression from watching them that Mike Austin is a very interesting character as well. After reading Phil Reed's book, I feel like I know the man who hit the world's longest drive. A book that entertains and inspiresI'm a big fan of author Philip Reed's mystery novels and I was anxious to read his latest book on an entirely different subject. IN SEARCH OF THE GREATEST GOLF SWING paints a vivid portrait of a larger-than-life, previously unheralded golf legend, Mike Austin. The author does a terrific job of interweaving the instructional with the personal, using colorfully descriptive anecdotes that are as entertaining as they are educational. A good read for non-golfers as well as those who play the game, and a great gift book. In Search of the Greatest Golf SwingThis book was fascinating. As an avid golfer, I am always searching through golf magazines and books for some magic kernel of information or instruction that would straighten out my golfing woes. This book was an exciting find because it offered intriguing information about a swing technique and body mechanics I had not heard of or read about before. The book was so enjoyable because it is not a technical manual but a colorful account of Mike Austin; golf legend, inventor and the Guinness World record holder for the longest drive (515 yards). Mike accomplished this feat in a 1974 tournament with a persimmon, steal shafted driver at the age of 64. Mike divulges some of the secrets he employed in his golf swing to unleash unbelievable power, distance and accuracy. Phil Reed captures some of Mike's incredible life adventures that most of us only dream about. Mike's talents and larger than life exploits seem endless. In writing this book, Phil gave to those who love golf, a great story of a man who lived life large. | ||||||||||||||||||||
