About the Book

The Left Handers' Golf Manual addresses the principal obstacles which prevent you from making improvements in your golf game. Playing better golf is directly associated with the proper application of the fundamentals to all aspects of the golf game from tee to green. Emphasis is placed on not solely relying on new equipment to make the improvements you are looking for in your golf game. It's how you do at establishing a strong foundation of the fundamentals that will determine whether you are able to make significant improvements in the way you play. The manual takes the golfer through the fundamentals of establishing the proper grip, correct stance, balance, proper body pivot, ball position, aim and alignment. It describes in detail how to set up properly to execute a good golf shot from the tee to green. There are chapters on using the woods and irons, bunker play, putting, playing from different lies, establishing a good pre-shot routine and how to practice effectively. A chapter on exercises to improve flexibility and endurance is also included. One should not expect to read this manual and become a scratch golfer overnight. However, if the instructions in the manual are followed and time is devoted to properly practicing the fundamentals, I can guarantee there will be a definite improvement in your golf game. The end result will be a greater sense of satisfaction with your game each time you play.

About the Author

Larry F. Nelson is a graduate of the University of Washington with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. The majority of his career has been spent in the Quality Assurance and Quality Control fields. He was the Director of Quality Assurance at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard when he retired in 1995. His involvement in the game of golf started off at the age of 12 when he began using his mother's golf clubs. Since she was left handed, he wound up playing the game from the same side. Swinging left handed with her golf clubs also rubbed off on his baseball swing. Everything else he does right handed. Larry has been playing golf for over 50 years. He has attended professional golf schools and has taken numerous lessons from professionals at various golf courses in Washington, California, Hawaii and Nevada. He is currently living in Reno Nevada with his wife and two cats. When he is not golfing on the numerous courses in the Reno area, he spends his time skiing, bicycling and hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains which are just minutes from his back door.
