Book Description
"Throughout my career, there have been other 'basics' I have constantly returned to, the basics of the golf swing. Whenever I miss-hit a shot or notice a swing problem, I return to these basics of swing, stance, grip, and alignment. Too many of us complicate our golf swings with involved theories when good golf actually is based on a few simple principles. In "A Woman's Golf Game," some of the fellow players I most respect will relate these simple and basic theories to you. I think they will help you play better golf."-- from the Foreword by Kathy Whitworth Nancy Lopez, Amy Alcott, Beth Daniel, Sally Little, Hollis Stacy, Sandra Palmer, Judy Rankin--never before have so many top women golfers shared their secrets to playing superior golf. Fully illustrated, "A Woman's Guide to Golf" details the entire technique of the game from tee to green. It takes the beginner through the early stages of learning and on to the game's finer points, club by club. The instruction rests on the foundation of sound swing technique and also covers grip, stance, rhythm and tempo, chipping, pitching, putting, sand shots, and awkward lies. Special chapters on the left-handed golfer, equipment especially designed for women golfers, and golf rules and etiquette make this book the most up-to-date, comprehensive manual for women golfers available. How to choose the right club, how to get the most from practice, and how to add distance to your shots are just some of the areas addressed in "A Woman's Golf Game." For those who are just taking up the sport or who are interested in refining parts of the game, or who as low handicappers need the pros' analytical advice on sharpening specific skills--this invaluablebook has helpful information for every kind of woman golfer.

Book Description
Every golfer has a story. And for many, sharing stories about the game's challenges and pleasures, legends and lore, is as much a joy as playing the game itself. Amy Alcott, one of golf's great personalities and an LPGA Hall of Fame member, has drawn upon her remarkable network of well-known golfing friends and gathered their stories for the first time ever. In this entertaining and fascinating collection of candid conversations, Alcott offers a rare look at the personal lives and experiences -- both on and off the golf course -- of prominent entertainers, athletes, political leaders, and other influential figures. A fierce love of golf connects them all, but their varied anecdotes show how this magical sport has touched each of their lives in unique ways. Some highlights: Bill Clinton reveals why Hillary encouraged him to start playing again in his late twenties; Jack Nicholson explains how he began to play golf in his forties and got good enough to shoot a sixty-five; Ben Crenshaw reminisces about his close relationship with Harvey Penick and about winning the 1995 Masters just days after serving as a pallbearer at Penick's funeral; and Jim Nantz compares his relationship to his dad with the close relationship that Tiger Woods had with his own father. And many, many more. At times poignant, illuminating, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Leaderboard is sure to inspire and capture the imagination of golf fans everywhere.

Book Description
Fierce debate has long loomed over Title IX, the landmark legislation prohibiting sex discrimination in schools, whether in academics or athletics. Since its inception, Title IX has inspired both backlash and backlash-against-backlash commentary. Supporters contend that the legislation is a long overdue measure in securing equal opportunities for girls and women in America's school and university athletics. Opponents argue that Title IX is nothing more than a government-enforced quota system that is damaging men's sports programs. Caught in the middle are the schools that struggle to develop equitable sports programs for male and female athletes. From the hard fought passing of Title IX in 1972 to the most recent debates surrounding compliance, this encyclopedia explores the significant individuals, events, key concepts, controversies, and legal cases revolving around Title IX and its application in collegiate athletics. This encyclopedia, the first of its kind, offers a comprehensive guide to various aspects and wide ranging issues associated with Title IX and sports. With more than 150 in-depth entries, this inclusive and authoritative reference will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers interested in both the historic framework and contemporary implications of Title IX and academic athletics. Sample entries include: A League of Their Own Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women v. NCAA (1984) Bonnie Blair Molly Machine Gun Bolin California NOW v. Board of Trustees of California State Universities (1993) Commission on Equal Opportunity in Athletics Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Patsy Mink Ms. Foundation National Women's Football League National Wrestling Coaches Assocation Pederson v. Louisiana State University (2000) Three Part Test
