How to Play “Extraordinary Golf”
I’m reading this golf book right now. It’s titled Extraordinary Golf: The Art of the Possible, written by Fred Shoemaker.
I’ve read (or thumbed through) a ton of other golf books out there and even bought a few. Most I’ve seen focus totally on the mechanics of the swing and that sort of thing.
This book focuses more on the mental aspect, but kinda from a different place. One intriguing point in the beginning is that out of the typical 4 hour round, a golfer is only actually swinging the club or setting up for a shot about 5% of the time. This book focuses on the other 95%.
The chapter I’m reading now deals with the cultural similarity that all golfers share: “My golf swing is broken and I need to fix it.”
I’m about 4 chapters in and so far, it’s pretty good. If anyone actually picks it up, let me know what you think.
