“Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves. “One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code

There are probably just about as many opinions about how to hit your golf ball further as there are golfers in the world but the reality is most of them either don't work or if they do they only add a little distance and generally create massive slices for most golfers When most golfers want to hit the ball further they do things that instinctively seem like they would work like; Tensing up and getting all 'manly and aggressive' ready to hit the ball so hard that if the cover stays on it - it's going to be hit into next week sometime! Then as they have heard that the best way to hit the golf ball further is to get the club moving faster, their entire swing gets faster The last thing they do is another thing that you would think was instinctively right They take the club further back than normal on their backswing the idea being that the further it has to come back to the ball - the more time they will have to generate speed and therefore hit the golf ball further Seems logical right? It doesn't actually work like that How to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can - without buying a new driver or doing any exercises Is a simple easy to follow step by step guide which will allow you to develop your driving by firstly providing you with an understanding of just what you need to do, then giving you a bunch of different experiences to apply to your game, all of which will allow you to develop your ability - to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can And before you start thinking this is all about elite level golfers who can already hit the golf ball 'for miles' and just want to hit it further again That's not entirely correct either As in actual fact, the golfers who can benefit the most from driving the ball as far as they possibly can are the golfers who hit the ball a relatively short distance compared to other golfers, consider a golfer that currently hits the ball 80 yards off the tee and then has a fairway wood distance of 60 yards Let's imagine that over the period of a few weeks our intrepid golfer, takes the information inside this book, works on it a bit and manages to add 20 yards to their drive It's not as difficult as you may think Also bear in mind that the 20 yards they add to their drive should also directly add (you'll understand why that happens when you read the book) another 10 yards to their fairway shot What difference do you think that can make to their game? A couple of shots better a round, maybe three or four at best? You'd be wrong if you guessed that low and even if you went way out on a limb and said a stupid number like say 10 shots - you're still going to be too low How about 22 shots better per round? Impossible? No, it's actually quite easily achievable as you can read about in the book The mind-set of trying to drive the golf ball as far as you possibly can, not only helps the elite golfer score a few shots better a round - it can dramatically transform any golfer's game - even if they are what would be considered to be a short hitter to begin with So is this all about elite golfers, testosterone, manliness and ego? In actual fact those are the golfers that will get the least help from this book The golfers who are going to get the best outcome from following my advice are those who don't hit too far for a start and it makes no difference whether you are old or young, new or experienced, male or female Everyone can change their game and scores by driving as far as you possibly can by following the six main basic points that the book covers then blending them with some controls and fine adjustments that will allow you to keep the golf ball on the golf course while you are driving it much further, as well as few other handy ideas that will then allow you to really take your new found distance and turn into a major advantage to your game on the golf course Better golf performance as a result of driving the golf ball as far as you possibly can Now that's a good outcome!

This guide is your go-to for understanding, measuring and training for more distance off the tee and from the fairway. It is divided into three core sections: POWER BODY; POWER TECHNIQUE; POWER EQUIPMENT. Within each section youll first learn the whys. It is important to understand the general principles and concepts before applying them to your game. Knowledge is power. It is my opinion that golf handicaps have not changed because of this. Students do as their instructors ask or watch YouTube videos. But oftentimes, they do not truly understand the core principles of the golf swing in relation to their body, equipment and technique. In addition, I see far too many players misdiagnosing themselves, which sends them down the wrong path. Instead, lets truly educate you on the essentials of ball striking so you can see real change in your game. Youll measure your current body, equipment and technique, so you have an accurate starting point. From there, youll apply your knowledge with training. This Guide is not a replacement for your instructor. I highly recommend working with a coach or training through the MorePars.com platform. The best players in the world have swing, fitness and/or medical coaches. As recreational players, you too can train like the pros and experience significant gains off the tee and from the fairway. Are you ready for more pars and more power? Lets get to it!

"He who rules the short game collects the gold." --Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who's looking to improve his or her game.

The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and win. A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game. Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can--and will--help you to consistently shoot lower scores.
