Bowen, Paul

Arnold Palmer is many things to many people; world-famous golf immortal and sportsman, winner of seven Major championships, highly successful business executive, prominent advertising spokesman, aviator, golf course designer and consultant, devoted husband, father and grandfather, and a man with a down-to-earth common touch that has made him one of the most popular and accessible public figures in history. From relatively humble beginnings (his father was greenskeeper at the Latrobe Country Club) Palmer went on to amass 92 tournament victories in his golfing career and to put together a successful and varied empire. Yet his magnetic personality and unfailing sense of kindness and thoughtfullness have endeared him to millions around the world - the foundation of 'Arnie's Army' Arnold Palmer's own account of his life story is characterised by the honesty and vigour of the man, and covers not only his childhood and early family life, but also his years in the Coast Guard service, his marriage to Winnie Palmer, his rise to fame and his life since then. Open, humorous, thoughtful and generous, Arnold Palmer's is one of the great human stories of our time.

For more than 400 years, the secret of the golf swing has been one of the most fascinating and frustrating mysteries known to mankind. Despite remarkable advances in golf club technology, golf instruction, and golf course conditioning, the average golfer's handicap hasn't changed in the past 30 years. Not coincidentally, the nation as a whole is becoming less healthy due to the sedentary lifestyle that is harming our bodies at an alarming rate. We are then taking our dysfunctional bodies to the golf course.Roger Fredericks, a leading golf instructor and golf fitness pioneer who has worked with the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Arnold Palmer, takes readers on a step-by-step journey to explain precisely why golfers have a hard time improving and more importantly, what to do about it. In The Flexible Golf Swing, he lays out his commonsense approach and explains in detail the true fundamentals of the golf swing, and precisely how the mechanics are merely symptoms of how a body functions.

Do any of these factors prohibit you from playing like a professional?
