I started reading your book immediately and could not put it down. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. Finally a
book that does not assume that every reader is a scratch golfer and addresses the needs of the high handicappers, that is the needs
of most of us. Congratulations and best wishes.--George
On page 117, Frank Thomas states, "Standard clubs will do fine until you shoot consistently in the mid to low 70s." "Until then, work
on improving you instead of your clubs."
Finally, someone with substantial technical knowledge of the evolution of equipment and the history of golf has finally come out and
said it. The job of manufacturers is to market and sell their products, but it matters very little to the vast majority of golfers which type
of equipment they use. "In forty years, there are only three innovations that mean anything significant to your game: perimeter
weighting, the graphite shaft and titanium drivers", page 70. Unlike most technical books on equipment, this is written in layman's
language with numerous wisecracks
to spice up his points of view. Unless most players want to keep pouring their hard earned
money down a black hole, this book is a must read for both the average and avid golfer.-- Frank
I really enjoyed your book. It was a good overview of equipment, how we arrived at some of the current issues in golf, and how to
make the game better without being too technical or dogmatic. --Paul
Just completed reading your book, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had some hesitation in buying as I thought it would be more technical
and I would not understand all the tech jargon. I was pleasantly surprised by the book and think you put just the right amount of tech
info in the book so that I understood exactly what you meant.--Dennis
