The world''s premier golf coach offers an innovative approach to improving your game. Good golf is smart golf. It''s certainly no coincidence that the players who continue to be successful are those who analyze their own performance and work on improving it. Whatever your ambitions in this game may be, unless you are prepared to invest a certain amount of time on the practice range, golf will continue to get the better of you. Most golfers realize that practice is the key to improving their game, but few have the skills to actually practice effectively. In Positive Practice, the world''s best golf teacher - who counts Nick Faldo, Nick Price, and Ernie Els and many other pros among his students - shows how any golfer can become his/her own best coach. All it takes is a little common sense and forward thinking. Above all else, Leadbetter says, good golf is a frame of mind. Breaking down the art of practicing into distinct but related activities, Leadbetter discusses every aspect of how to get the most from a practice session, including: the pre-game warm-up session; the technical work-out on the range; the various mental rehearsal techniques that help a player train his/her mind for the challenge of the course - often called "the inner game"; and the importance of keeping fit and relaxed for golf, by strengthening specific muscle groups that benefit the swing. With numerous drills for pitching, chipping, bunker play and putting, all demonstrated clearly through lavish use of over 300 full-color photos and illustrations, golfers will achieve a far better understanding of their game and its strengths and weaknesses - leading ultimately to an improved game and a lower score.
