Amazing classic

To sum it up, you swing the weight of the club head and think of nothing else in your stroke. He says more, but that was my big takeaway. Forget positions, they are just window dressing. Swinging the weight of the club head is where it’s at.

the kiss method

My favorite golf instructional book and I have too many of them. If you don’t do well with getting this, that and the other body part in a certain position, this is the book for you.

Keeping It Simple!

Great golf advice that needs to be emphasized more often. Great read and concise.
Maybe some modern instructors should review all the positive advice this book offers.
