CONTENTS OF
THE BOOK AND OF THE DVD SET
"GOLF IS
NOT THAT HARD
unless
you're doing it wrong!"
Before We Start: (20 minutes
on DVD)
Three
Basic Motions -- an introduction to the two basic planes of
motion and what a human body does in moving a golf club into a
golf ball.
Chapter One: What is a
Perfect Golf Swing? (35 minutes on DVD)
A golf
swing is in large part an optical illusion. This chapter
explains what really is being done. “Feel” vs. “Real”
- i.e., what you see vs. what you really
do! It answers the basic question: WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO WITH THE GOLF CLUB? And this is based on what
Mike Austin taught, what he knew was perfect from his
knowledge of kinesiology and mechanics, and what he proved
superior to all other possibilities by performance over many
decades. This is not theory or guesswork, a fad, or the
“swing of the day.” Nor is it copied from models. Once
revealed, perfect mechanics are self-evident!
Chapter Two: The DNA of the
Golf Swing (8 minutes on DVD)
The levers, limbs, muscles, exertions, and nerves that
comprise the mechanics of a good swing -- how they work. If
you form the right picture of what to do, your mind -- that
knows more than you do -- itself knows how to bring it off.
You don’t take lessons or study physics to put on the
coffee…you are already wired to do it perfectly without
thought. So this chapter shows you how to use your natural
wiring for the same kind of simplicity of execution as for
getting the coffee.
Chapter Three: Form Follows
Function (20 minutes on DVD)
You don’t take your grip, stance, and posture, etc. from “do
this” instruction: you take them from logic and common
sense, based on what you are going to do. Your hands hold
the club like this because of what you will be
doing with the golf club, you put your feet here
to enable you to move as you need to. You put your hand
HERE because that gives you room for, and leverage for, the
motion you are going to make that you know works the best.
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION is WHY you address each shot the way
you do.
Chapter Four: Drills (37
minutes on DVD)
For the collision itself! For the motion of the hips, arms
and shoulders. For the trigger. For the folding and cocking
of the wrists. For the “throw.” For the rolling of the
arms. And for hip and shoulder turn. And many more.
Chapter Five: Developing your
Full Swing (22 minutes on DVD)
How to go about building your skill, from smallest, perfect
motion accomplished with ease, to ever larger and greater
amplitude and force. All based on installing the perfect
items that you learned separately in the drills.
Chapter Six: Ballstriking (an
hour and 8 minutes on DVD)
How to perfect your skill and produce PERFECT IMPACT on a
consistent basis, hitting the ball in the middle of the
clubface dead straight with penetrating ball flight and with
YOUR maximum power. And I do mean power. You already have
it, and perfect mechanics enables it to show up! Reasons
for GOOD shots, reasons and understanding of all MIS-hits,
to eliminate them by knowing, yourself, why
they occur and what to do about them.
Chapter Seven: The Short Game
(an hour and 5 minutes on DVD)
Putting, Chipping, and
Pitching. Absolute distance control, absolute direction
control, how to get up and down without taking years to
develop touch. This chapter encapsulates everything for
beginner to tour player, including all of the psychological
factors that you need to understand for this part of your
game. Two-thirds of all the shots that end up on your
score card are in the short game. You simply
can’t reduce the number of shots you need to get to within
100 yards of the pin below a certain number no matter how far
you hit the ball. But you CAN,
AND CAN EASILY, limit the number of shots from there to
get into the hole!
Chapter Eight: The Most
Important Lesson of All (5 minutes on DVD)
Self management: what
is it? How do I do it? Improving your game WITHOUT HAVING TO
PRACTICE. As Pogo tells us, “We have met the enemy, and he is
US!”
and the final section in the
DVD set:
Golf Swing Demonstrations and
Analysis (44 minutes on DVD)
Swing demonstrations by three
different golfers, with a complete analysis of each using
real time, slow motion, and freeze frame, explaining what is
important and by implication, ignoring idiosyncratic and
irrelevant things. This section, contrary to the
irrelevancy of a lot of what is usually described as "swing
analysis" speaks to the very heart of what you are really
doing, not just what is visible. By using three
different models, a young man, a young woman, and myself, just
about everyone will be able to relate in some way and realize
how IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT LOOKS DIFFERENT: WHAT ANYONE DOES TO SWING
THE CLUB IS BASED ON PRINCIPLES AND EXERTIONS, NOT ON COPYING
THE APPEARANCE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S MOTIONS.
TOTAL RUN TIME OF ALL TEN
SECTIONS ON THE DVD--
FIVE HOURS, 24 MINUTES
