One of the PGA's top golfers shares his secrets of success!

Mike Weir started playing golf at age 11 and even at that tender age he wondered if he should change his swing from left to right to make it to the pros. But on the advice of his golf hero, Jack Nicklaus, he stuck it out - and golf fans around the world are thrilled that he did.

In On Course with Mike Weir Mike gives you an insider's view of what it takes to compete with the world's top golfers. Co-authors Tim Campbell and Scott Morrison take you from his early days at amateur tournaments in small-town Ontario to playing tension-filled rounds at the game's highest levels with the likes of Tiger Woods and Nick Price.

And Mike calls on his own coach, Mike Wilson, to provide you with tips on grip, stance, posture and other fundamentals of the game, while his sports psychologist, Dr. Rich Gordin, provides insights on discipline, patience and handling the pressures of the game.

Mike is a dedicated student of the game, who in the midst of his 1996 pro season made major modifications to his swing. If he could make such dramatic changes in the heat of professional competition, think what his advice and insights can do for your game. Whether you are a novice just getting started, or a long-time player with a low handicap, with Mike's personal tips and more than 60 instructional photos you can take your game to the next level.
