Format:Hardcover
this is an extremely comprehensive book as you would expect from a methodical and technique based player such as Faldo was.
Every aspect of the game is covered here. As can be expected this book is heavily influeced by the theory of David Leadbetter however nick gives everything his own slant and views the information from the perspective of the player not the coach.
A must for any serious golfers library.

A highly successful golfer throughout his life, there is a pre- and a post- Faldo, i.e. before and after taking the risk to re-build his swing with David Leadbetter. This swing is the major champion's after Leadbetter and it contains all the Leadbetter tips, swing-analyis and strategies but it is just Faldo.
Clearly and lavishly illustrated throughout, it explains his swing in minute detail in the text, helpfully accompanied by the clear photographs.
Golfers looking for an uncomplicated swing to model theirs on could not find a better model. Although he obviously understands the swing in minute detail, the descriptions are not over-burdened with complications.

I learnt to play golf using the Faldo videos and not having a video recoder anymore to watch these on I decided to have a look at this book.
Glossy pictures on every page leave you in doubt to exactly what Faldo is talkig about. His swing is broken down in pictures on numerous pages from different angles and he describes what you should be feeling during these sequences. Drills and thoughts also to help you along.
Over 200 pages of expert tuition all of which seems so easy to remember when you get to the range.

An Easy Book to Help You Play
When I played a lot I found this to be one of the easiest books to get into. It's the Leadbetter stuff, but without all the DVDs and complicated explanation. Read more
