Book Description

In the booming game of golf, says Tour Pro Roger Maltbie, practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Attacking a common complaint, this book shows golfers at all levels how to get their swings from the practice range to the golf course. And this book is for "range rats, " that enormous subculture of golfers who hang out on the practice ranges of America, people who leave the impression they would just as soon hit practice balls all day as play a round of golf. Range rats "learn' the game by experimenting and by sharing ideas with fellow golfers addicted to hours and hours on the public and private ranges of America. (In Japan the driving range is practically a way of life.) This unique golf book offers detailed charts, along with important practice.range tips, so that players at any level may keep records of every round over a reasonable period, thereby monitoring bad habits and negative tendencies the golfer can now easily spot and correct on the range. The appeal of this book is that it will deal strictly with practicing and practice-range matters -- untapped territory with enormous potential. This book does not deal with intricate swing tips or difficult golf theories. It deals with practicing only, and docs so in a lively, anecdotal way. Maltbie also gives us inside information on how big-name Tour pros practice. He offers specifics on how amateurs can adapt and actually improve their games -- by practicing the right way and the right things. The idea of this book is to lower scores by helping golfers to find out exactly what is wrong, then practicing to fix the problems. It works!
