Best Golf Book Ever

Golfers may be surprised with how well Fred Couples can communicate his understanding & approach to the game - right here in this book, written in first person. Reading this book is like getting a series of golf lessons from Freddie. I have been playing for 25 years and have a rack full of books on golf. None of them have really worked for me as much as this book. The descriptions are straight forward and like Couples, there is nothing pretensious about this book. The student of the game will receive high quality information from a world-class player who has one of the best swings in the game. The full swing is shown with high quality colr photos. There are also well drawn illustrations throughout the book. All aspects of the game are covered with useful tips that really work. This is a true gem packed full of practical information - satisfaction guaranteed!

My favorite golfer here reveals some of his thinking about the game.Renowned for his tempo, short game and scrambling ability, you'll take away much in these areas.From reading this, I too now play gloveless. It saves money, I feel the clubhead much better and have much better grip pressure from making this change.Another tip that has saved many shots in my rounds, is that when the ball is down snug in the grass, play pitch shots down the line.Freddie has many like these in here you'll find so useful as well. Good stuff!

Since I purchased Total Shotmaking the book has been my constant source of reference and review whenever my game drops a notch. The best part of this book, for me, is the section titled "Couples' Clinic." This section includes 60 excellent tips on shot making. Its almost as if Fred Couples becomes your personal instructor to help you correct bad shots or develop new shots to enhance your game.Total Shotmaking has helped me lower my handicap because it has expanded my bag of shots to help me recover from difficult spots.
