home for the holidays, i found my copy of this book dad had given me when it was first published in 1993, i believe. i've probably not even looked at it in well over 10 years; but i immediately read the whole thing in one sitting and it is just as wonderful now as it was when i was a kid.when i first read it all those years ago, i'd been stuck in all sorts of technical instruction from the time i first picked up a club when i was 7 or 8 years old. at the time; i was a pretty good junior golfer but a buddy of mine was a bit better and all i wanted to do was beat him on the course. it was this book that really opened my eyes to the true heart of the game. i simply forgot all the intensely technical garbage and focused purely on just swinging the club - "clipping the tee" as harvey had put it. within a little more than a year, i was nearly scratch and a starter on my high school golf team. and, yep, became a fierce competitor with my buddy. it was also around that time i beat my dad for the first time.this book totally made me see the game in a different way that's stuck with me ever since.if you want a bunch of technical garbage that forces you into ridiculous positions that really do not, nor ever will, actually help your game - do not bother with this book. you'll be sorely disappointed. plenty of money has been made by so-called teachers convincing people there's more to swinging a golf club than just SWINGING A GOLF CLUB and most other books (one notable exception being tom watson's strategic golf - a great book about actually playing the game and focusing very little on swing instruction ) are no different.fact is - it really is that simple. harvey knew this and it's that knowledge that makes this book so great.
