The Six-Spoke Approach to Golf

5 stars (The Six Spoke Approach to Golf by Tom Patri and Julie Moran) - One of the best instruction books to come along in years; the approach is simple, pragmatic, noncompromising and effective. From getting your body in golf shape to picking out the right equipment to keeping your mind in the present moment when on the course, Patri and Moran hit all the right notes. This is a must have if one is serious about improving all aspects of one's golf game. 5 stars (An all round golf coaching manual) - This book is the first coaching manual, I've seen, that covers the non-technical, as well as the technical, aspects of the game. Tom has such a common sense approach, and it is such a fun read, that I found it very easy to put it all into practice. And guess what, not only did my golf game improve, but my enjoyment of the game is back. Time to go out there and have fun again!! 5 stars (All around game) - I will continue to pull out this book several times a year and visit its logical approach. Thanks to the author for this direct yet thorough gem. ...

The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told

5 stars (Every Chapter A True Joy) - I don't know if these are truly the greatest baseball stories ever told, but they are certainly entertaining. I am a baseball fan, but I'm not especially learned in baseball history. These stories, all by a different author, have deepened my love for the game and engendered appreciation for the men who play the game, past and present. I admit up front that I am a die-hard Dodger fan. The chapter by Vin Scully on Sandy Kofa'xs perfect game gave me goose bumps. I learned my love of baseball from my father, so the chapter by Doris Kearns Goodwin was especially meaningful (brought tears to my eyes). She tells how her father taught her to keep a score book for the Brooklyn Dodger games, then relay to him, play by play the entire game when he came home from work. She tells how, when the score was close toward the end of a game, she had to ask her mother to take notes while she left the room because the anxiety was just too much to bear. I, too, have had to do this. Of course, the first chapter with Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" is a classic whether you are a baseball fan or not. I enjoyed every page of this book and plan to pass it along to grandkids who also love the game of baseball. 5 stars (The Title Says It All) - The baseball stories that make up this book make it possible to call this book the the Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told. These stories have appeared in years past in the three Fireside books of baseball that are currently out of print. Since they are no longer available it would be advisable for you to strike while the iron is hot and buy this book. The book contains both fiction and non-fiction and certainly doesn't cover all the great stories that the Fireside books contain, but you can't argue with the thirty that make up this book. I would especially recommend this book for youngsters interested in baseball literature who weren't around to enjoy the Fireside books. 5 stars (An instant Hall o...
