Groove Your Golf Swing My Way

Groove Your Golf Swing My Way by Trevino, Lee with Dick Aultman. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780689107238.

By applying a golf swing as unique as his personality, Lee Trevino (b. 1939) became one of the most consistent shotmakers in the history of the game. In this 60,000 word book lavishly illustrated with over 50 drawings, this double winner of both the U.S. and British Opens details exactly how weekend players can similarly groove a swing that will repeat successfully time after time. Trevino’s revolutionary swing keeps the clubhead moving on line and at ball for a longer span through the hitting area. The result – crisper contact and greater accuracy. He also explains how to use the strong muscles of the back and legs for added distance, rather than the smaller muscles of the hands and wrists that so frequently misbehave under pressure. “With my swing any golfer can gin it around the course without embarrassing himself”, he points out. Trevino understands the problems of the weekend golfer. Unlike most top players he once taught such golfers face-to-face, day-after-day, for seven years, before joining the pro tour. When he tells what to do, he also tells why and how. His words are simple; his message clear. This book not only tells how to swing the club, but also how to play the game. It covers topics as varied as selecting equipment, planning, shots, practicing, playing in wind and rain, betting and overcoming first-tee jitters. The result is a comprehensive, high readable guidebook for any golfer seeking lower scores and added pleasure on the course. The author, Dick Aultman, was formerly an editor of “Golf Digest” magazine.
