Extraordinary Golf: the Art of the Possible by Fred Shoemaker

Extraordinary Golf: the Art of the Possible by Fred Shoemaker

Learn how to enhance your golf game with practical exercises, expert guidance, and advice on how to stay in the moment

Most golfers approach the tee with a complex mental package: worries and judgments about their swing, the other person's swing, the course, the weather, looking good, looking bad. They think about what's wrong instead of what's possible, and this is what Extraordinary Golf teaches: the art of the possible.

Drawing on his experience teaching both amateurs and professionals for more than fifteen years, Fred Shoemaker shows how extraordinary golf can be coached, learned, and practiced, with results not only in people's scores but in their sheer pleasure in the game.

Combining a host of practical exercises with an entirely new point of view, he demonstrates how to focus not on the voices in your head but on the reality of golf: the club, the ball, your body, the course--the elements that actually make up your game. He shows how to approach shots creatively, instead of mechanically; how to read greens simply by staying awake; how to develop a powerful and consistent swing by rediscovering trust for your instincts; and how to improve yourself in competition by determining what you're competing for. He also gives simple guidelines on how to coach yourself, your spouse, and your children successfully.

Incredible Golf: The Art of the Possible (Putnam, 1996), co-authored by Pete Shoemaker and his golf-professional brother Fred, was a huge success. Pete has also written and produced a song CD called Extraordinary Golf (ExtraordinaryGolfAlbum.com). He is a lifelong golfer who, like most fathers, enjoys reading to his children. The Dolphin Who Loves Golfin' is an excellent example of this type of book, with a message of excitement and love for the game that will appeal to everyone. Karen Donovan Matchette has worked as a cartoonist for popular syndicated strips such as Dennis the Menace, For Better or Worse, The Flintstones, and Scooby Doo. Pete resides in Pacifica, California, with his wife Gail. She is currently a Roycroft Artisan who specializes in pen and ink drawings of houses. kdmdrawings@gmail.com is her email address.
