I just checked the TV times for the Open. It starts on the Golf Channel @ 11:30 PM, Wednesday night my time. I don't think I will see the opening tee shot. I'll watch some of it when I get up to take a leak and then fall back asleep.
Sorry, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, Hogan's book is good if you're fighting a hook which he did for many years, but 90% of golfers slice the ball. Harvey Penick's books, in my opinion, are fluff, they're fun reads and you can pick up some good bits from them, but I wouldn't recommend trying to build a golf game around them. If you want to improve rapidly get the book "Tour Tempo," written by John Novosol and John Garrity, buy one of their Tour Tempo micro players, put it in your ear and try to keep up with the beeps, it'll change your golfing life. When your happy with that, get their second book Tour Tempo 2 where they apply the same theory to the short game. You can thank me later.
@65Grad I hadn't heard of Tour Tempo until your post. Of course, I haven't really focused myself on golf instructional books in a few years.
P.S. I got them two weeks ago, read the books, did the drills, hit a couple hundred range balls and went out and shot 75 today from the regular men's tees. I'm 77 years old.
Congratulations That's one of the things I regret about having to quit playing about the time I retired. Of course I would probably have to live to about 90 to shoot my age.
With the physical ailments I have now, I can't imagine it getting any easier if I was fortunate to live another 10 - 15 years.
