How I Play Golf - by Tiger Woods

No athlete has changed his sport the way Tiger Woods has transformed the world of golf. The Tiger phenomenon has created a new legion of golfers, seduced by Woods's almost effortless mastery of this most difficult game. 

In How I Play Golf Woods reveals the many facets of his game and offers a plethora of tips and advice aimed at all levels of play.

Unlike most golf guides, and perhaps somewhat surprising from a player best known for his long game, How I Play Golf begins with the short game--putting, chipping, and pitching--before moving onto swing mechanics and hitting off the tee.

Produced in conjunction with the editors of Golf Digest, the book is lavishly photographed and illustrated and offers a gold mine of useful ideas and mental images Tiger has collected over the years.

Throughout, Tiger recounts memorable shots from his relatively brief career; for example, his only "perfect" shot (a 3-wood on No. 14 at St. Andrews) and his first putt at the 1995 Masters (a 20-footer for birdie on No. 1 that missed and rolled off the green). How I Play Golf is not only a first-rate instructional guide, it also communicates a passion and respect for the game that beginners, hackers, and low handicappers should find inspiring. Highly recommended.

TIP: Shallow out your swing by Tiger Woods

"Avoid picking up the club with the hands and limiting your shoulder turn. Instead, think low and wide on the takeaway. A wide arc translates into a full shoulder turn. let your body, arms, hands and clubhead work together on the downswing. The result will be smaller, shallower divots. That's the key to solid contact and spin and distance control."
