Product Description
For the first time an instructional book that has been fully authorized and written by Tiger Woods himself, where he reveals secrets to his incredible success. The insights Tiger reveals in How I Play Golf are a combination of the physical, metaphysical, and psychological practices that Tiger uses daily to keep his game at the top. For fans and followers of Tiger, these secrets will become the gospel of how to improve one's own game.
Amazon.com Review
No athlete has changed his sport the way Tiger Woods has transformed the world of golf. The Tiger phenomenon has created a new legion of golfers, seduced by Woods's almost effortless mastery of this most difficult game. In How I Play Golf Woods reveals the many facets of his game and offers a plethora of tips and advice aimed at all levels of play. Unlike most golf guides, and perhaps somewhat surprising from a player best known for his long game, How I Play Golf begins with the short game--putting, chipping, and pitching--before moving onto swing mechanics and hitting off the tee. Produced in conjunction with the editors of Golf Digest, the book is lavishly photographed and illustrated and offers a gold mine of useful ideas and mental images Tiger has collected over the years. Throughout, Tiger recounts memorable shots from his relatively brief career; for example, his only "perfect" shot (a 3-wood on No. 14 at St. Andrews) and his first putt at the 1995 Masters (a 20-footer for birdie on No. 1 that missed and rolled off the green). How I Play Golf is not only a first-rate instructional guide, it also communicates a passion and respect for the game that beginners, hackers, and low handicappers should find inspiring. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards

 Golfers will enjoy this book July 12, 2010
Readers Favorite (Hawesville, KY USA)
I enjoyed listening to Tiger Woods` "How I Play Golf". My husband is the golfer in the family and I got this book for him. I started listening to it and was so wrapped up in the book that I finished it before he began it. Tiger is an exceptional player. In this book, he explains many different aspects of how he plays the game. His father taught him to play when he was a young boy. He learned to play in the dark which helped him win one amazing tournament. The book covers a lot of information such as: how to have a great backswing, common mistakes and how to avoid them, controlling the spin of your ball and direction, and how to practice your shots and have fun doing it. There are plenty of photos that support Tiger's text.
Golfers will enjoy this book. Whether you want to improve your swing, learn to choose the right club, perfect your grip, and improve your stance, you will find this book a valuable resource. Learn from the best, Tiger Woods. Highly recommended for all golfers.
Great Golf Instruction Book May 29, 2010

This book is a must for any golfer wishing to improve his/her game. It is clearly written with great sequential pictures and illustrations. It explains many of the fundamentals in an easy to understand manner. Based on the information in the book, I changed my grip and technique for putting and I am much more consistent. I also changed my grip and swing technique for my drives with much better results. With some practice over the past month using the techniques from this book, I've moved from a 90's to 80's golfer. It is the best golf book I've ever read.
Thoroughly enjoying this audiobook... May 18, 2010

Really good car "read." It's funny because the narrator sort of sounds like Tiger too... Really good visualization tool, and the PDF's are pretty helpful in concert with the audio. Couldn't help but laugh, though, when Tiger states, "I like to have fun" when talking about celebrating after a win.

Jeffrey L. Levitsky (washington, DC)
I've only read a couple of chapters but from that sample the book is very good.
The book is an easy read- informative without being technical and the right amount of anecdote is mixed in.
The only negative I can find so far is the actual writing style. After hearing him talk & realizing his age at the time of publication the words don't seem to be his voice. It seems that editors style is most prevalent. It's not a problem once you get used to it though it was a disappointment at first.

The beauty of this modern age for anybody into anything is that there are instructional books and DVDs by the best practitioners in the world in every field imaginable - golf, mixed martial arts, tennis... even books on how to grow handlebar mustaches.
The thing is, no matter where you live on the planet, you can hop online and order a book or DVD, then start receiving tuition from the greatest exponent in any chosen sport or interest.
TIGER WOODS: How I Play Golf is a perfect example, where you can have the world No.1 for your mentor.
As the cover states: "There is simply no athlete quite like Tiger Woods. His domination of golf is unparalleled."

All instructions from Tiger are clearly worded and accompanied by excellent photos to make your lessons with him easy to follow and put into practice.
As with the best of the best in all sports - Fedor Emelianenko in MMA, Roger Federer in tennis, or Tiger Woods in golf - there is more to the player's winning ways than meets the eye. All elite champions have great mental powers. And as mentioned above, TIGER WOODS: How I Play Golf also contains the chapter, How to Master the Mind, which covers some very interesting aspects of Tiger's mental approach to the game.
This is an outstanding publication for any professional or would-be golfer.
