Book Reviews of The Elements of Scoring: A Master's Guide to the Art of Scoring Your Best When You're Not Playing Your Best
Book Review: Very helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
Floyd is still one of the best chippers and shot gamers in golf. The PGA pros when interviewed say the same thing. He has a lot to share and much of it is "tough love" to us amateurs--don't over-club, be realistic with your average distance not your best distance etc. He is a very clever golf course manager and it shows in his advice. His description of his early days when he was a risk-taker and losing, while trying to be like Arnie, was very interesting. Once he decided to manage his risks around the course and be himself he became a big winner. This would certainly not be the first book for a beginner (you first need to learn to swing) but this should be a fairly early addition if you want to score well.Book Review: improve your score

The book seems to be geared more to the single digit handicapper rather than a high handicapper. I find the book dated and the author to be patting himself on the back too often.Book Review: whow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was struggeling for about half a year with my stroke, my putting an despecially my driving. I got this book in canada and read it in one evening. The next round I played I hit nearly every shot perfectly (at least for my abilities). There are a few essentials in this book, that seem so wright to me, that it changed my whole play (especially not having any "swingthoughts" during play). Thank You Ray!
