Luckily, there are golf experts around the country whose job it is to teach golf. By taking golf lessons, you can drastically improve your game in a relatively short amount of time. Taking golf lessons can be an expensive, time-consuming effort. And like any good or service that will cost money and require time, you should be careful before you buy.

Extract from the book:
Just imagine now that you know the relationship between true and visible break if you can somehow read greens well enough to get your subconscious mind working with you (rather than make it fight your green-reading and compensate for it) you might really be able to improve that 15th and final building block of your putting your green-reading. I’ll show you how to make it happen in Chapter 13. Until then let ‘s keep learning how to deal with it. So far you have seen that these indisputable facts about your putting will never change:
So let’s move on and learn more about the realities of the grain of grass plumb bobs and how your mind works in your putting.
7.10 What about the Grain?
Something else to factor into your green-reading is the grain of the grass. To many amateurs who don’t understand grain and don’t consider it in their figuring of how their putts will break grain may sound like a dirty word but it needn’t be.
Grain is nothing more than the direction in which grass grows. While you may say “I thought grass grows up ” only rarely does it grow straight up. The roots of grass grow down to their source of nutrition and moisture while the blades grow up and toward their source of moisture and light. Figure 7.10.1 lists the conditions that affect how grass blades grow assuming other surrounding factors are normal.

The Long Drive Bible: How You Can Hit the Ball Longer, Straighter, and More Consistently
Extract from the book:
The Stimpmeter developed years ago by a man named Edward Stimpson is a crude yet simple way to measure how far a ball will roll on a flat portion of a green when it is given a standard starting speed. The USGA-approved version of a
Stimpmeter is a solid straight piece of aluminum extruded at a 30-degree angle with an indentation near the top and a beveled bottom (Figure 4.3.2). The beveled bottom allows the Stimpmeter to sit low to the green surface and reduce the bounce of a ball rolling down the channel when it hits the green.
The Stimpmeter was designed to release balls onto a green surface with constant initial speed (energy).
Measuring Green Speed To use a Stimpmeter a ball is placed in the indentation and the device is raised slowly until the ball rolls free and down the groove onto the green (Figure 4.3.3). Care must he taken to hold the Stimpmeter still as the ball rolls down the ramp to ensure constant release energy and ball speed at the bottom of the ramp.
To measure green speed three balls are rolled in one direction on the green measuring how far each ball rolls (in feet) from the end of the Stimpmeter. The same three balls then are rolled in the opposite direction over the same section of the green and again the distances are measured. The six distances are averaged to produce a quantitative measurement of the average distance a ball rolls on that green called the green speed. A slow green is about a 7 (meaning the balls rolled an average of 7 feet) while a fast green comes in at about a 10. Most PGA tournaments aim for green speeds between 10.5 and 11. When greens start rolling at 12 to 13 they are called “Augusta fast ” because that’s often the speed of the greens at Augusta National Golf Club home of The Masters every spring.
Longer rolls (from higher green speeds) for longer times mean the friction of
The Seven Building Blocks of Stroke Mechanics 63 the green surface is low letting balls roll farther and longer. A rapidly slowing and short roll off a Stimpmeter means the friction of the green surface is high and the green speed is very slow.

Golf Swing Tips
The “Simple Golf” Swing: “Golf for the Rest of Us”
Extract from the book:
The chest and shoulders shouldn’t be turning, unless your arms are turning with them. In other words, you want to start your swing with a shoulder turn, but your arms should start swinging at EXACTLY the same time. They are an extension. They are connected. Furthermore, your arms shouldn’t be swinging unless your chest is rotating. Don’t start swinging your arms without starting the shoulder turn. They are connected. Your left elbow remains locked throughout the entire swing. When you complete your shoulder turn, your arms should stop as well. The goal will be to have your left arm exactly parallel to the ground. Your elbow is still locked. When it gets there…STOP. Do not continue to swing your arms.
