The one book every golfer needs to read

Until reading this book I was the typical golfer who got most of his “instruction” from YouTube and tips from my golfing buddies. This book has really opened my eyes to how wrong the stuff I had been believing all these years actually is. As Gareth writes in this book, you need to filter out all the garbage information and latest fads that are out there until you’re only left with logical principles.

Fantastic resource for a beginner!

This book was recommended to me as I’ve just taken up golf. All I can say is wow! My friends have been telling me all sorts of things that I *should* be doing when I swing which I now realize are completely illogical after reading this book. My only wish is that I’d had this wonderful resource *before* I started, to avoid a lot of misinformation. Fantastic book! It will stay by my side throughout my golfing journey.

Simplify Your Golf Swing and Approach to the Game!

An excellent Golf improvement book that allows the golfer to understand how to approach the various areas of the game simplistically, covering full swing, chipping, putting and so on. I have learned so much from the book and I’m improving because of it! (it’s better than any YouTube videos). This book is enjoyable to read.

You can relate to what the author says no matter your level as a golfer and it includes good pictures to help visualise both the fault and correction which I appreciated. I highly recommend the book “Playing The Lie”.

About time.

A simply amazing book! I wish this book was around when i first started playing golf, it would have saved me a lot of pain and torment. I have always been very confused with golf technique and after watching far too many videos online, I just got more and more frustrated as I had no idea what I should be doing. It seemed like I was just experimenting with some new idea every time I played. So to discover Gareth’s book was such a blessing. I now have more confidence and clarity about what I need to focus on and what I need to throw out the window. Highly recommend this book to all levels of golfers.

– Sue Smith

Great resource

This was a concise easy read to help weed out all the noise and figure out what I really need to focus on in my game. Do yourself a favor and take a read if you’re confused by all the conflicting golf information out there.

– Mitch

Game changer!

Wow, what an unbelievably eye opening book! I’d been believing all kinds of theories for years that I now realize was just garbage that I should have questioned. So happy I made this purchase, it’s given me so much clarity.
