About this ebook
A unique and concise golf instructional book, designed to quickly and painlessly get your handicap down from 24 to 10.
The author is also a qualified ski instructor who has a great eye for spotting flow and balance and movement, twinned with fresh real-world hindsight to pull from; to assist you to also get down to a 10 handicap.....unlike most golf-pros of course, who were scratch (0) handicap by the time they hit 18 years of age!!
How can they possibly know what a stubborn 20 year hacker needs to do to alter their game for the better?!! Answer? They can't know, as they have always been good!!!
With many happy customers in the first few months of sales on amazon, (before I discovered smashwords) I am sure you too will also find many tips and pointers in here that will rapidly help your game, just as they have helped and continue to help my game.
Please let me stress again, that having just gone through this myself, I know what things really helped me to improve; and now having tried my teaching theory out on many of my friends, I am sure it will quickly help you too.
Some feedback from some happy golfers...
"Interesting book, interesting ideas, good price"
"interesting read worth the money cheers"
"the best golf book i have ever had and i have tried far too many"

A hardcore e-biker since 2008. I ride throughout the Swiss winters. I sold over 250 copies of the "Real World User Guide to ebikes" on ebay before I discovered Smashwords :) I am also a single handicap golfer and I used to be a successful ski instructor, which has lead me to try and find a way to help other golfers get better as quickly and as painlessly as possible. (Which is easy, just read my guide :) I am also an avid vegetable and tomato grower and have for most of my life been involved with either my parents vegetable patch or my own kitchen garden.

Introduction
*****
After 20 years of on and off golfing, I thought I saw a glimmer of light at the end of my deeply frustrating golfing tunnel and I decided to get my handicap down from 24 to at least 18. This I did mostly by brute force, ignorance and hope, and after hitting a wall at 16 hcp where I basically stopped improving, it finally dawned on me that just wishing I was a better player wasn't going to cut it any further....
I got to thinking that there must surely be a way to learn this game that we are not being told about... (Please let there be!) Well, it took me until I got down to a 16 hcp before I had my golfing Eureka moment and I suddenly realised I really WAS doing something fundamentally wrong. Well, if I am honest, not so much doing something wrong, but more something that I just wasn't doing at all. And now I have figured-out this simple catalyst, I can see that practically every 18+ golfer I see, is also not doing this fundamental thing. Seriously. It really is something you can start doing right away, even as you are sat there at home. Once I really concentrated on nailing this issue (I watch a lot of Golf TV too) I immediately saw that ALL the good players do this thing without fail! Every single one!! I then
