First published 2009
Hank Haney strips away quick fixes and band-aid solutions that plague amateur golfers. The instructor who coached hundreds of touring professionals, including the world's top-ranked player, returns readers to fundamentals. Haney argues that most golf lessons focus on correcting immediate problems like hooks or fat shots without addressing underlying swing flaws. His method starts from scratch, teaching proper grip, stance, and mechanics before advancing to ball flight analysis and shot shaping. The book walks through each swing component systematically, from setup through follow-through. Haney shows how to read ball flight patterns, select appropriate clubs, and distinguish between acceptable misses and costly errors. His analytical approach mirrors the instruction he provided to tour professionals. The guide includes photographs, practice drills, and diagnostic tools for self-improvement. Rather than offering temporary solutions, Haney builds lasting swing fundamentals that produce consistent results over time.
