Tom Watson, a few months short of his sixtieth birthday, led the 2009 British Open with one hole to play and came within an unlucky bounce of winning it for the sixth time. His stunning performance electrified the golf world and showcased a swing that has endured as a model of good mechanics, rhythm, and repeatability.
In The Timeless Swing, Watson draws on all the knowledge and expertise he has accumulated over the course of his extraordinary career, imparting lessons that will help golfers of any age play to the best of their abilities and enjoy the game more. From fundamentals like learning the proper grip to advanced shotmaking techniques such as swinging in wind, he breaks down the full swing into all its parts and explains with his trademark easy voice the most effective ways for mastering each.
Watson complements these lessons with time tested drills and also offers a variety of tips and exercises to help golfers continue to swing well as they get older. This book takes readers beyond Toms 2010 best selling DVD program, Lessons of a Lifetime, with further emphasis and instruction on two concepts that are absolutely critical to every golf swing.
The Timeless Swing is illustrated with stunning photographs by award-winning Golf Digest photographer Dom Furore, and Watson carefully draws the readers eye to what is essential in each photo, providing the kind of easy to understand guidance usually found only in private lessons.
With a foreword by Jack Nicklaus and archival highlights of Tom Watsons most memorable shots and tournaments, this is an indispensable guide from a consummate teacher and one of the most respected and admired players in the game.
