A gold mine of knowledge from Golf Tips magazine, conveniently sized to slip into a golf bag—or a Christmas stocking. With this guide, golfers will be able to find the advice they need, exactly when they need it. Smartly designed to fit into a golf-bag pocket and profusely illustrated with photos and drawings, The Pocket Caddy takes the best of several years’ worth of instruction from Golf Tips magazine and distills it into nearly 80 bite-size nuggets of golfing gold. Inside, players eager to improve will find practice drills that address those sticky ongoing problems of technique, as well as on-course fixes that will get them back into the groove when things go awry. The practice suggestions include the Baseball and Whoosh drills to add power with the driver; the Split Hands to stop slices; and the Two Strings, which gets the putter on track. Those fixes run the gamut from strategic adjustments (how to keep the ball low when hitting into the wind) to specific advice on troublesome shots (when it’s okay to putt out of a greenside trap). This is simply the ultimate guide to lasting improvement—on the tee, on the course, and on the scorecard.
