The Golf Delusion: Why 9 out of 10 Golfers Make the Same Mistakes

By Steve Gould

The model swing taught at the exclusive golf school whosepupils include Bryan Ferry, Diana Rigg, Sean Connery, Michael Flatley, andGeri Halliwell, is broken down and illustrated for all to learn. Since its conception in 1951, the Knightsbridge Golf School has taught tens of thousands of golfers of all ages and abilities, from the wonderfully talented to the woefully inept. But amazingly, despite a wealth of instructional material and access to the latest teaching technology, golfers of today are no better than they were when the school first opened its doors almost60 years ago. They still cling hopelessly to the delusion that the next golden tip or instant fix will suddenly and magically transform them from rabbit to Tiger.This guide, newly available in ebook,explains that sadly no such tip exists, and outlines a proven, time-tested swing model that guarantees a program for immediate and sustained improvement. The history of the school is also celebrated,with such stories asSean Connery learning from Leslie King the skills he needed for his famous golf match in Goldfinger, and Telly Savalas perfecting his golf swing in front of a mirror in Harrods, and such developments as using video to show golfers their own swing and how it can be improved.
