Description

Eight Minutes to Better Golf enables golfers to find their best swing quickly using a simple, effective approach—the “Focus Drill” method—that golf instructor Ji Kim has been perfecting over a thirty-year period. As a result, he’s earned the nickname “Doctor of Golf” among many of his more than 60,000 students. Kim’s methods and philosophy even prompted Kelly Tilghman, a celebrity announcer on the Golf Channel, to coin a phrase to describe them. Thus, the practices became known as the “Circle of Golf.”

This book covers various facets of this strategy, detailing different approaches to:

• Grips
• Backswing
• Downswing
• Driving
• The short game
• Specialty shots
• And more!

More than one hundred instructive color photos accompany the text to assist novice and experienced golfers alike!

This is my new golf bible!

I have a handicap in the high teens and though I’ve only been playing regularly for about eighteen months, I’ve tinkered with the game for about twenty years or more. I’m a self-taught player, with lots of flaws. I’ve only had one proper golf lesson – and that fully confused me! Consequently, I’ve picked up a couple of self help books, watched dozens of videos and scanned golf forums looking for tips. There’s a lot of information out there and I’ve taken in some sound advice along the way, but I know I’m still getting a lot of things wrong. It’s frustrating.

This book got me early on. There’s a section about how to grip the club – yes, that basic – that made me realise I could improve the ‘feel’ by adopting a simple routine. It worked! Then there was a description of the basic stance which highlighted a flaw in my set-up. Once again, it helped. This guy knows what he’s talking about.

The book goes through just about every aspect of how to play this very technical game. It avoids most of the jargon I’ve seen espoused by many professionals in favour of plain speaking and easy to understand explanations: what you should do and why you should do it. It’s certainly one to ‘dip in and out’ of, there’s only so many changes a player can make at any one time. I’ve quickly read through the entirety of the text (there’s pictures too) and I already know there are sections I need to return to, more changes to adopt. That’s for the future; one step at a time.
