As seen on the PGA Tour, lots of different swings and varied swing mechanics have the ability to win tournaments. There really isn’t one perfect formula for the golf swing. As a result, there are an infinite number of golf books that express varying methods for how the golf swing should or shouldn’t be executed and others that evaluate the game as a whole. The mix includes both good and bad books. To help you sift through the plethora of books in the market, here are a few great reads as you continue to build off the success of your golf lessons. And because we like golf so much, we added in a great novel we thought you might enjoy as well!
