The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing: Curing Your Hit Impulse in Seven Simple Lessons review:
5 stars (Lighthouse Turn Eliminates Paralysis By Analysis) - For 13 years, I struggled with every "swing thought" imaginable. Finally I had this book recommended to me as a very simple way to train your swing. More importantly, it was one you could practice without having to hit balls initially. Its critical points have helped ease tension and facilitates a smooth weight shift and now I am swinging through the ball rather than hitting at the ball. Golf is more enjoyable and I only wish I had this book 12 years ago.
5 stars (Highly Recommended!) - I have been golfing for about 1 year. As a beginner this book helped me immensely! Don't expect to just read through it and improve though. I would suggest holding off on the driving range while you dedicate yourself to doing the exercises he suggests over & over again until you know exactly what you should be "feeling" during the exercises (weight transfer, are your elbows where they are supposed to be etc....) This book suggests that you should not be trying to hit the ball but rather teaching your body to swing the club the exact same way every time which obviously builds consistency (something we could all use more of) It is a very quick read but don't read it too fast. Let the concepts sink in by reading important points several times.
5 stars (A good swing after 25 years!) - I have been trying to play golf for 25 years, managed to join a club for a couple of years and played every week.

I always had one major problem that really took the fun out of the game - I would often top or fluff the ball, even when my game was going relatively well. At the start of this year I hit a 117, I was so embarrassed, it was either give up or make a change, I bought this book.

I have had numerous lessons and not one of them spotted that I was starting my downswing with my arms - a fatal flaw.



I managed to get down to a 24 handicap before reading this book, but in the last few months I have been amazing my golf friends, hit my first eagle on a par 4, shot 6 pars in one round, scored my first sub-90 total (par 71) and am hitting the ball 10-15 yards longer (shot a 7 iron 160 yards!).



Cannot recommend the book highly enough. I bought a practice mat and net because I still play only about once per week, and spent 10-15 minutes each day with the drills in the book for about two months. What a difference. For me golf is a new game and much more fun.
