About this deal

What sets the great teachers apart from the others is not merely golf knowledge, but the essential art of communication. my mission is to make golfers more consistent in just a few hours a week through advanced practice strategies and timeless, first-principle golf instruction. Now, 78 years later, he is still there, dispensing simple wisdom and common-sense advice to famous pros and high-handicap amateurs alike. A 1st edition, 1st print (number line to 1) of Penick's red book, paired with a 4th print of his green book, and a 1st print (number line to 1) of Robbins biography of Penick.

I have read elsewhere that as an instructor, Penick was very much obsessed with the traditional quandaries of the golf teaching professional: grip, stance, angles, swing paths, etc.What I like most about this book is that it’s a fairly quick read and it’s broken down into several individual anecdotes. If you try to do too much with your grip, you will find yourself making a corrective motion on your backswing, and then making a correction on the downswing, to correct for the backswing. An old pro taught Penick, that originality does not consist of saying what has never been said before; it consists of saying what you have to say that you know to be the truth. With Hogan, there was definitely a right and wrong way to approach the golf swing, with little room for individual interpretation.

This twentieth-anniversary edition features a treasure trove of rare images from the Penick family archives, commemorates Penick’s lasting achievement with a moving new foreword by 2012 Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III—whose father learned the game under Penick’s tutelage—and reminds golfers everywhere to “take dead aim. The face angle that you use at impact is another key ingredient in the overall success or failure of the swing.

They really enjoy it and I know that some have been gifting it to other golfer friends, which means they really did like it ;) If you love golf, I definitely recommend it. Harvey’s simple instruction and colorful story-telling makes me see why so many golfers recommend this to others interested in the game.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Immediately after finishing, I picked up his next book, “And If You Play Golf, You’re My Friend”, to get transported back into his mind. If you want to hit the stronger club anyway, grip down an inch on the handle — and go ahead and hit it hard. Another tip Penick gives is to practice your putting on a level surface on the green, or slightly uphill.
