Five Days to Golfing Excellence

Book excerpt: FIVE DAYS TO GOLFING EXCELLENCE is about playing golf, but the author, Chuck Hogan, does not stop at teaching you how to make a correct golf swing. In fact, learning the golf swing is only one step in a learning progression that leads you to the true enjoyment of the game of golf. The book has been divided in to five sections, arranged as a five-day self-study course on golf. Day one is devoted to learning how to relax & feel good about the game of golf. Here the reader will learn to make golf a sequential learning process & how to enjoy playing the game on the golf course. Day two deals with the ins & outs of swing mechanics & the role that swing technique plays in learning the game. On the third day the golfer learns what images are & how to benefit from being able to use them. The reader then learns on the fourth day how to apply imaging techniques to create the appropriate mental constructs necessary to play good golf. The fifth day, the actual nuts & bolts of putting everything together in a useable, unified whole are presented. Critical to this entire 5-day learning experience is a new way of processing information about the golf shot & the shotmaker. In this book the reader will learn how to combine mental mechanic skills & an understanding & execution of physical skills that ensure both better performance & more enjoyment of the game of golf.
