saving par how to hit the 40 toughest shots in golf

the book is very well laid out. It has simple to follow advice of how to get the best shot from a huge variation of lies, pictures also help you visulise the shot. I took it to Potrugal & it works. This should be read then practised. good luck

Useful and easy to follow

I purchased this book just before a golf vacation and made good use of many of it's sections. For someone like myself who's read way too many golf books, some of this is a repeat, but it's clarity and correctness make it a perfect reference book. I keep mine close at hand at home...and use it.

How to save your golf game...Really!

If we all had a perfect game, there would be no need for this book. Unless you score a 54 for 18 holes or hit every shot in the fairway on a flat lie, then this book will help you. We all hit bad shots and this book will help you recover and save some strokes in the process. This book covers the most important and challenging shots in golf. From every type of lie and situation, each section outlines a historical scenario in PGA history followed by the appropriate set up to carry out the shot. A summary box including the high points of the techniques, including pitfalls, are included at the end of the chapter. Illustrations are sharp and clear. The style of writing is concise. This is one of the best books on "Trouble shots" in golf. It will definitely take some strokes off of your game, as it did mine. I highly recommend this book.
