Review:

It is every golfer's dream to become a Jack Nicklaus or a Tiger Woods, but few have enough natural talent to even get into single-figure handicaps! But, once you've hit a few balls out of the sweet spot, you become hooked on the game and it then becomes one of life's ambitions to improve. The better you get, the more you want to continue improving.

But even the pros have their bad days--and that's where the two authors of this teaching manual come in.

Dr TJ Tomasi is the Director of the Players' School at the PGA National Golf Academy in Florida. His co-author Mike Adams, alias the "Swing Doctor", is a former PGA training professional, Director of the PGA's National Academy of Golf and one of America's most sought-after golf teachers. They each have more than 20 years of teaching experience and both are regular contributors to various golfing publications.

Between them, they give a complete account of all the skills that will enable any golfer--from novice to expert--to build their own perfect swing, using the fundamentals of the modern golf swing. It includes all the different facets of the game--the set-up, the swing, the short game, coping with hazards and trouble spots, strategy and tactics, as well as some of the more advanced golfing techniques. It also includes advice on some of the key rules of golf and golf etiquette--many members of many clubs could certainly use their guidelines!

The book is beautifully illustrated and when one considers past clients of the authors include Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, President Bill Clinton and Former President Gerald Ford, one begins to realise how sought after these instructors really are.

So, if you want to improve your game (and don't we all?!) you need look no further--Play Better Golf provides a step-by-step blueprint to help you master all the skills of golf so that you can lower your golf score for good--you won't regret buying this book. --Ben Naylor
