Ben Hogan, největší golfista naší generace, se domnívá, že jakýkoliv průměrný zkušený hráč dokáže zlomit 80, pokud bude s plným nasazením trénovat. Autor vás v této knize krok za krokem naučí, jak toho docílit. V každé lekci jasně a podrobně vysvětluje základní principy golfu. Jakoby stál vedle vás a osobně vám dával instrukce, stejně pečlivě a promyšleně, jako když sám trénuje.
Herbert Warren Wind's "Following Through" compiles 27 essays from his 25-year tenure at The New Yorker, showcasing his insights into golf. Spanning from 1962 to 1984, it features memorable pieces on iconic tournaments, players, and courses, highlighting Wind's mastery of sports writing. A must-read for golf enthusiasts.
A classic of golf literature is now fully illustrated for the first time with photographs, drawings, and memorabilia. Originally released in 1948 and revised in 1956 and 1975, Wind's work is the most graceful and thorough history ever published of professional and amateur men's and women's golf in America. From John Reid, the man who introduced the game to this country with three holes carved out of a cow pasture on his New York estate in 1888, to Francis Ouimet's memorable victory in the 1913 U.S. Open, to Bobby Jones' "impregnable quadrilateral" in 1930, to the dawn of the era of Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan, Wind covers it the personalities, the competition, even swing analyses. This volume introduces the game's first star players, including Bobby Jones, Glenna Collett, Gene Sarazen, and Walter Hagen. The second volume, planned for release in 2001, will continue where the first leaves off.
