Good Idea - Bad Execution, 29 May 1999
By A Customer
I really wanted to like this book. Hank Haney seems very approachable and down to earth in interviews and guest spots on The Golf Channel. Unfortunately, his new book, The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need, is a bizzare mixture of information with some less than humble self promotion by the author. Then again what do you expect for : The ONLY Golf Lesson you'll EVER need. I only hope that the contributing authors did most of the writing. Perhaps Mr. Haney was too busy giving lessons to proofread the manuscript. I'm sure there was pressure to publish this book during the reign of Mark O'Meara as PGA Tour Player of the Year. Unfortuneatly, his ideas are poorly communicated in this work. Perhaps Mr. Haney is a genius. He has the credentials. He could be the greatest living teacher of all time. He sure implies that in the book. He comes across in the book as a self made pompous swing guru with poorly organized swing theory based on swing plane. He has the answers. Too vertical a plane equals slice, too flat equals hook. Fix your plane and fix your swing. Thank you very much. I hope this book is not an accurate representation of Mr. Haney's teaching style. Thank God I didn't pay full price.
