Product Description
Harvey Penick's Little Red Golf BookEvery time he found something about the swing stance or the mental approach that proved to be consistently successful Harvey Penick made notes in his notebook. He gathered notes for 60 years and let no one read them except his son Tinsley until the publishing of this bookAuthor: Harvey Penick
Amazon.com Review
Before titanium drivers, before oversized heads and bubble shafts, before electronic systems to tell you how far you are from the pin, golf was much the same game it is today. The lessons Harvey Penick taught in the pre-gadget days still stand. The golf swing is basically the same, and Penick could teach it better than anybody. For most of his life, he never intended to publish his Little Red Book, a notebook of golf wisdom and anecdotes that he compiled with the idea that he'd pass it on to his son. But, for the sake of history, it's a good thing that he changed his mind. Contained in its 175 pages is just about all you need to know about golf from a technical standpoint, along with Penick's priceless memories of working with famous pros, teaching absolute nobodies to get the ball in the air, and finding a horde of bat guano and hauling it across town in a pickup truck to fertilize his golf course. This book makes you feel good about playing golf, that you're part of something steeped in ritual and mystery and tradition, and that the game was played perfectly well before perimeter-weighted, graphite-shafted irons came along.

 On Paper, Gold Seems Easy October 26, 2009
TSabonis (Sioux City, IA, USA)
This book covers everything you need to know to improve your game. Mr. Pennick's insights are quick and concise. This is ibe of the best instructional books I have ever read. The only advice I have to give is to take one tip at a time. Pick one thing to work on, when you feel you have achieved what Mr. Pennick said, then move on to something new. The tips are also sprinkled with tales of yesteryear and legends of the game. It is difficult to read this without wanting to put the book down and try each tip as it comes along, I would say read the book once, then go back and work on the things that made hte most sense to you.

Bryon Jacobson (San Jose, CA)
One of the best books on the golf swing. Keeps it simple. That's why he was so great as a teacher.
A great little book September 26, 2009
Susan Conard (Washington)
I refer to this book often as needed. There are many books out there on golf. For the golf enthusiast who wants to get back to the fundamentals, you should have this in your library.
