Have Yourself a Punny Little Christmas

Richard Lederer

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2006

Not really funny
This book is the definition of mediocrity. It contains obvious and poorly constructed jokes, and the 'puns' really stretch the definition thereof. A clever wit can do far better in normal conversation, let alone a book. I could only read a few pages before I put it ...

The 3 Scoring Clubs: How to Raise the Level of Your Driving, Pitching, and Putting Games

Jim McLean

Gotham, 2005

The real deal
I ordered this book as an advance read to my attending the Jim McLean Golf School in La Quinta, CA. I've taken lessons from at least a half dozen pros and have read many golf books (Hogan, Leadbetter, Pelz, PGA Tour series, Zen, etc) and Jim McLean is the real deal. ...

The Eight Step Swing: The Top Selling Swing System that has Revolutionized the Teaching Industry ...

Jim Mclean

Collins Living, 2001

Great book for self-analysis
A very well-written book that is especially well-suited to check-pointing against video. Along with SWING LIKE A PRO, this is one of my favorite full-swing books.

Sleeping Dogs Don't Lay: Practical Advice For The Grammatically Challenged

Richard Dowis

St. Martin's Press, 1999

Required Reading for All of Us
"Our children need to 'score' better in math and science." Whenever I hear this plaintive mantra so common in both Canada and the U.S.A. nowadays, I want to retort with a primal scream: LET THEM BECOME LITERATE FIRST! This excellent reference book belongs in every ...

The X-Factor Swing

Jim Mclean

Collins, 1997

The best book I have read on the long game.
I have read several books on golf and the golf swing and this is the best describing the long game. If you want to know how to generate power in the swing, this is the book. Most golf instruction books, videos and television shows describe the golf swing as unusual, ...

Jim McLean is right on target with this book. There are complete step by step instructions for how to build a fundamentally sound golf swing which you can repeat. There are lots of pictures and lots of tips and lots of good drills. Like most of the current golf ...

Golf Digest's Book of Drills

Jim Mclean

Pocket, 1990

How to Fix What Ails Your Swing
To change a swing you've got to groove it. To do that, you need a drill. Here is a book of over 100 of them, from a full-swing to short game, to alignment and warmup. McClain does a great job here, and the illustrations are helpful. Excellent helps for correcting a ...

Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your Short Game

Jim McLean, John Andrisani

Alpha, 2000

Improving your Mom's game
I gave this book to my mom who is a senior golfer playing in the high 90's. In one month, she reduced her handicap by 9 strokes after reading this book. This is true, as I can see it in her smile. That's only about $2 per stroke - good book investment. Now she has ...

The Putter's Pocket Companion

Jim Mclean

Collins Living, 1994

Simplistic
Very much a beginners book. Many of the items included are just common sense (drink plenty of water before you play). Covers the mental aspect and offers tips and drills. Meant to be put in your golf bag as a reference guide I assume, yet offers no index or table of ...

The Eight-Step Swing : The Top Selling Swing System That Has Revolutionized the Teaching Industry

Jim McLean

Collins, 2001

There are no shortcuts in Golf
Golf is one of the most difficult recreational sports to play. Many methods of teaching pride themselves on the simplest method and I have become a victim of this. There is no "simple swing" in golf. Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons is a wonderful classic from the Silver Age ...

The Wedge-Game Pocket Companion

Jim Mclean

Collins Living, 1995

Perfect On-Course Companion
When I purchased this 'little' guide (it really will fit in your pocket), I thought it would be useful. What I have found is that it is vital. I would give up my driver first if I had to choose between the two. Not only does it very simply explain and demonstrate ...
