Summary:
"Here is comprehensive advice to excelling on the
golf
course. Scott Weems goes beyond traditional tips on
putting
and
driving
. Divided into
four
academic years, Scott Weems incorporates the disciplines of physics, math, medicine, sociology, geology, and
more
to help you
improve
your
game and have
more
fun on the links The many lessons that Weems offers include: Achieving maximum efficiency in the
golf
swing, meaning no loss of kinetic energy from club to ball, would require a driver 72 feet long. And a club the same weight as the ball. Twelve percent of business executives rate
golf
as
more
important than sex. Players shot half a stroke higher when paired with Tiger Woods in his prime. The effect was even worse on the final day of competition.
Putting
against the direction of the grain (i.e., opposite the most recent mowing) leaves the ball 15 percent shorter than
putting
in the opposite direction. Closing
your
eyes occasionally while
putting
will leave
your
ball almost 10 percent closer to the pin. And
more
!
Golf
University
uses a mixture of research, interviews, and Weems’s own experiences as a scientist and golfer to introduce readers to the latest discoveries in the sport."
