Three book excerpts to help you along the way.

3 book excerpts to help you along the way.

From “In Every Kid There Lurks a Tiger,” by Rudy Duran.

Before you begin my program, I want you to do something most golfers never learn to do. I want you to erase virtually everything you’ve heard about how hard golf is. Zap those thoughts. If you’re going to be as good as you can be, and have fun, you’ve got to delete negative ideas that will limit your enjoyment of the game.

Available at www.rudyduran.com and major booksellers.

From “Golf Parent for the Future,” by Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson.

We see junior golf as a time for the young golfers to learn who they are as people. It is through golf and the way they have prepared both at home and on the golf course that they gain a healthy sense of self-respect and self-management. Their experiences allow them to gain their confidence and self-esteem as well as feel good about themselves. They learn to trust their ability to perform and have a sense that their future is destined for great things!

From “Play Golf for Juniors,” by Mike Adams and T.J. Tomasi.

Here is a good phrase to remember — “too long is wrong” — but that’s what often happens when juniors are misfit, i.e. the clubs are usually too long. If your clubs aren’t the right length, you’ll be forced into an unbalanced position before you even swing.
