About this deal

It also highlights the role of the body in generating maximum power and the role of a strong mental approach to achieve success in golf.

Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons is regarded as one of the all-time great instruction books that are as relevant today as when first published. Aliss's commentary on the floundering Van de Velde's meltdown generated yet another heap of vitriol — proving that even then there was little the public liked more than to take offence. Follow his Top Tips and ten Golden Rules and you will change the way you exercise for ever, allowing your body to flourish and achieving your goals faster and more efficiently than ever before. Five Lessons was first published in 1953 and reprinted in 1980 and is a must in any golfer’s collection. Timothy Gallwey’s theory of the ‘self 1’ and ‘self 2’ that must become friends to achieve your best results in golf.No one who watched it can forget Alliss's brilliant, agonised commentary when the French golfer Jean Van de Velde squandered a three-shot lead on the final hole at Carnoustie, which eventually cost him the 1999 Open. Peter Alliss had requested Bill Elliott’s voice in the book, so Bill often contributes introductions and closing words to the eleven chapters.

Emphasis is placed on the grip as the fundamental requirement to achieve a consistent and successful swing. He was all the more appreciated by many of us for sticking to this conviction and for daring to hold firm in the face of changing convention. It's unlikely, though, that he would ever have been invited to be a visiting professor of feminist studies. Beating the odds, Francis Ouimet wins the title, beating two of the world’s best players in an 18-hole playoff.The final member of The Big Three, as they were dubbed, was South Africa’s Gary Player, who has a remarkable record and has won everywhere. Every golf enthusiast would want to add some good books on the subject to their library, but they are spoilt for choice. Sports broadcaster Will Haskett’s book looks at data in golf, but it delves into science, too, looking at a golfer’s swing, body, mind, and equipment. Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf is regarded as the bestselling golf book of all time, with the information gained over 50 years of being a head coach. This book records Peter's vivid recollections of a life well lived, looking back on his double-edged career in sport and media, one that is unlike any other and is surely never to be repeated.

Tom Watson has been one of the world’s very best, of course, but there was a time when he really enjoyed a glass or two of whisky. His mission is to bring the golfing community a better experience then it comes to choosing the right golf gear, and finding the right set up for your game.This, however, is surely true for any of us who have lived beyond the point where we wake up each day wondering what we ought to do with our lives.
