Book Description
Better Golf: A Skill Building Approach offers a breakthrough method for acquiring better golf skills. Julius Richardson, the first African American pro to be included in Golf Magazine's Top 100 Instructors in America, shows you how to get to the core of better scoring with a minimum of wasted effort. Richardson turns the spotlight directly on the learning process itself. He breaks the desirable skills of golf into components and offers intelligently sequenced drills to help you acquire them. It is so discouraging to the average player to hit bad full shots. Part of Richardson's technique is to prevent the player from hitting full shots until good habits, and even instincts, have been built up. That way the player has the most positive and enjoyable experience on the course.
