Gets you thinking about your game

Hurt doesn't simply report the advice and techniques of the top golf instructors in the United States, he walks the golfer through the process of understanding what it all means to the goler as an individual. His "questions to ask yourself" and "questions to ask an instructor" can save several times the price of the book in one outing. Hurt is not among the "do as I say" legions. He brings his experience of qualifying for the pro tour after age 40 not to lord over ,but assist and interpret for, everyone from the Sunday dreamer to the serious low handicap player looking for a further edge.Hurt's comfortable writing style reflects both his background as a serious journalist and passion for the game as it should be played.We read many golf books in our home, where handicaps range from scratch to embarassing. This is one of the best across the spectrum.
