How to get your golf strategies swinging!

Golf is a hugely practical guide to improving your game of golf and the subject is tackled with insight and thoughtfulness. Ace McCloud expands to a panoramic view of the different ascpects of thinking and behaviour that will affect how well you play, and he covers many topics that I wouldn't have immediately expected to find in a book like this, but which are clearly relevant.

There is so much in there! From motivation to developing swing, fitness to supplementation, equipment to resisting over spending. I particularly enjoyed the section on overcoming problem situations (life in the bunker!) and dealing with pressure.

Joshua's narrative is undulating and full of light and shade. He brings the words to life and makes this a very interesting listen. A must-have audio for anyone who would like to improve their game, and while it is golf-specific, I do think it has a lot to offer that could be applied to any physical activity that requires development.

Understanding Golf

Do you have any additional comments?

In the Philippines where I previously lived, people are not really that fond of playing golf including me. It is a rich man’s sport over there as they say. When I got here in the UK, I found a lot of things that are so different the first time I came over. One of those things is that quite a lot of people actually play golf around here (during summer/spring, of course) and that includes my fiancé. When I came across this book as I was searching for audio books on Amazon, I decided to give it a try.

After I finished listening to this book, it gave me better understanding of what the sport is all about and it gave me a lot of useful tips on how to play it right. Although I’m not really that into sports, my fiancé is, and he is pretty good at it. Now that I have better idea about the sport, talking about it has now been our way of bonding and it is really fulfilling.

Educational guide to golf

I have very little knowledge of golf, but I keep getting invited to play with my friends who are really into it and so I bought this book to give me a background in to the game and also some tips on how to do well in the game.
It was full of very helpful tips about stances and exercises you can do to improve your game. It is also very instructive on the best equipment to buy to improve your game. As a total beginner I found this guide very useful and look forward to putting these tips into action.

Improve Your Golf Game in No Time!

I got this book for my dad who is a big golfer but has always struggled to get to the next level. This book was full of practical tips to help you improve your game quickly and easily. His favourite part was the section on mental and physical preparation as you often don't think of golf as something that requires training off the course.
Dad couldn't be happier with the book and said he learnt a lot. Now he can't stop telling his friends about it!

For pros and novices alike!

Any additional comments?

I am fairly new to golf but my dad is a practically a pro. I worked a few of the strategies in this audio book yesterday morning and my dad commented on how much I've improved since we played last month! He thought for sure that I had been practicing every weekend without him (which I haven't been able to hit the course since our last round). Thanks so much for this wonderful audiobook. I can't express enough how it's improved my game in such a short time. Off to the links!

Get Good at Golf!

What made the experience of listening to Golf: Golf Strategies the most enjoyable?

I found this book very enjoyable to listen to as it broke down so many aspects to the game in a very engaging and informative way. I feel this book has given me a tremendous foundation on which to build on my game.
The sections on perfecting your swing and practicing tips were very informative for me and I'm excited to put them into use!

What other book might you compare Golf: Golf Strategies to, and why?

I would compare it most to one of Ace McClouds other book "Top 100 Best Ways To Lose Weight Quickly and Healthily" because of the way it takes so many different aspects into account and explains and suggests how to make changes in a very effective fashion.

Which character – as performed by Joshua Mackey – was your favourite?

There were no characters in this book, but as for the narrator, I found him to be excellent. He did a great job of being engaging and placing emphasis where it needed to be placed.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in picking up some useful tips on there game or just starting out. There are so many aspects of the game covered here there is something for everyone in this book.

Golf like a Pro!!!

Any additional comments?

I am not a golfer and it was embarrassing when I couldn’t hit the ball the first time I went golfing with my new group of friends at our local social club. This book has helped me learn the basics of golf in an easy non-mechanical manner and it gave me a big confidence boost at the course. It's got some very useful tips that I have written down in my phone that I go over every time before going club and it's made me a decent golfer. I’ve even managed to get a few compliments from my friends at the club. So glad I found it rather than wasting a ton of money on some golf instructor.

All you need to know about golf

I've often thought of golf as a boring game, but after playing crazy golf with friends I decided to try traditional golf. I bought this book to find out a little more about it and see if I could learn some swing techniques.
I enjoyed learning about the history of golf, it made it more real to me. As someone who didn't know much about golf, I found the advice easy to understand and follow, and I think more advanced players would also find this book helpful because it really is packed full of helpful tips and information.
From mental strategies to improve your confidence, to nutrition and exercise tips to improve your fitness, this book is a complete guide to the perfect swing.
