The Way Of The Golfer
Foreword:
For several decades golf instruction has remained stagnant, as evidenced by the fact that the average handicap has not been lowered-despite advances in golf club technology and improvements in course conditions.
This stagnation is not due to a lack of knowledge of swing mechanics by instructors-quite the contrary. Video technology has enabled teachers to isolate quite precisely the proven effective mechanics of the golf swing. Almost every trained instructor knows the way a good, effective golf swing works.
The problem has been a lack of innovation in the communication arena. The game has not had enough creative, imaginative teachers who discover new ways to explain the known mechanics to students in ways that enable them to perform those mechanics.
But all that has quickly changed. Led by the pioneer thinking of Michael Murphy, an army of forward thinking, innovative teachers have mobilized around the world, and are poised to revolutionize the way the game is taught and learned.
The vanguard of this instructional revolution-imaginative instructors like Fred Shoemaker ("Extraordinary Golf"), myself with "Holographic Golf" & "Beyond Golf", and other-is pushing ever forward, and the evolution of golf instruction is accelerating. The movement is snowballing as creative teachers with ideas once considered esoteric are coming forth with innovations that work.
With "The Way Of The Golfer", Ed Tischler not only joins this vanguard, but he moves to the front of the movement with a structured method of learning that combines the "best of the best".
Ed's book is a good example of the power of a new perspective. "The Way Of The Golfer" proves that if you stay on path, you'll find the way. His book is the best delineation of the most effective path to better and enjoyable golf that I've seen.
Most books (on most any subject involving self-improvement) speak volumes on the desired end-result. But they fall short when it comes down to the how of reaching that result.
The "Way Of The Golfer" is filled with innovative, creative methods which enable the average golfer to experience the magnificence of well-executed golf shots, and it is filled with structured drills which enhance the golfer's ability to repeat those shots consistently.
Every golfer, from beginner to touring professional, can improve and develop as a golfer by studiously committing to Ed's methods. "The Way Of The Golfer" takes golf's new instructional direction to yet another level, and further contributes to the end of instructional stagnation.
