About this Book
"Offers a wealth
of information and insights."
—Peggy Kirk Bell, founding member, LPGA
Unlike many
books on golf, this book is a description and
analysis of what it is like to learn to play the game later in life,
written from the perspective of recent learner, David Goslin who took up
golf at 65, in collaboration with Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA)
Master Teaching Professional, Mary Beth McGirr. A sociologist by
training, Goslin has spent 40 years studying the process by which
individuals learn new skills.
Goslin and McGirr show the
reader:
• How to understand and manage the challenges and frustrations of
acquiring a new set of physical and mental skills after age 50.
• How to set and achieve reasonable goals.
• How to gain the knowledge and skills to become at ease on any golf
course as quickly as possible.
• How to sustain their
motivation and enthusiasm for the game.
• How to have fun doing it!
• Choosing your equipment
• The basics, including grip, stance, and swing
• Course management
• How to get in shape for golf
