Synopsis

Written by the author of "The Little Red Golf Book", this volume picks up where the first book left off. It features the same blend of simple wisdom, sound golfing instruction and good common sense that made the previous title so popular with golfers of all ages and levels of ability. This book is more anecdotal than its predecessor, and gives more of a sense of what it's like to have a lesson from the author.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Since the publication of 'Harvey Penick's Little Red Golf Book', the world has almost literally beaten a path to Harvey Penick's door. Hardly a day goes by without a stranger arriving at the Penick home, book in hand, hoping for more pearls of wisdom, an autograph, or just wanting to say, 'Thank you'.

'Harvey Penick's Little Green Golf Book' picks up where its predecessor left off. It features the same blend of simple wisdom, sound golfing instruction, and good common sense that has made the 'Little Red Golf Book' so popular with golfers of all ages and levels of ability. And, as in the previous volume, Penick's deep love for the game and his delight in teaching shine through on every page.

Penick talks about those dreaded four-footers, how to select your club with confidence, and the benefits to be gained from a stronger grip. He gives advice to parents on how to help their children learn golf, shows how to overcome a slice by playing baseball, and shares the pride and joy he felt while watching his pupil Tom Kite win the US open.

Warm, witty and wise, the 'Little Green Golf Book' shows why Harvey Penick has become one of the game's best-loved teachers.
