Book Description
Tiger Woods is living proof that a fine golf swing can be developed in early childhood as the first step toward creating a champion. But kids don't have to become champions in order to enjoy golf. This heavily illustrated manual offers detailed instructions specifically focused to teach the game to young people--approximately ages 10-through-16. Written by Nick Wright, Instruction Editor of Britain's best-selling Golf Monthly magazine, Junior Golf clearly explains the technique behind every aspect of the game, from driving and putting to long irons and bunker shots. Junior golfers are enlightened about getting the right equipment for learning, and instructed on the etiquette and basic rules of golf. Hundreds of full-color, step-by-step photos demonstrate the fundamentals, which include various grips, addressing the ball, swinging, putting, and getting out of traps. Tips on helpful off-course practice techniques, advice to parents of junior golfers, and recommendations on choosing a pro to teach young players add up to make Junior Golf a comprehensive instruction manual. Full-color illustrations on every page.
