TRANSCRIPTS
-I'm Martin Hall and you're watching School of Golf Extended
Library. The book this week by a really good friend
of mine, George Peper, is called The Secret of Golf.
George was the editor of Golf Magazine for goodness knows
how many years. And, what he's done in this book
is reduce the essence of some great classic instruction books
into just a few pages. There are actually 47 chapters
in this book and 47 very brief descriptions of-- of
what's in this book. Now, the first one I want
to just touch on here is Jimmy Ballard, the great
Jimmy Ballad down there from Key Largo in Florida. Jimmy
was the first one to talk about connection. Connecting the
left upper arm to the chest and having the big
muscles move the small muscles. And, I think I'd have
to say that Jimmy was so influential in the 80's--
1980's in getting so many teachers to teach more of
a-- sort of a together, a unified, a less independent
swing. Very good for certain stars or players. The second
book that I want to mention from here is this
Paul Bartley. Bartley was an incredibly interesting man and he
believed that the best way to learn the golf swing
was with 10 seconds static holes at various positions during
the swing. Paul actually believed that one 10-seconds hole was
worth about 100 golf swings. It's very interesting. And then,
of course, he's one of my great mentors here. John
Jacobs and George [unk]. This chapter keeps your eye on
the ball. Well, Jacobs always taught from ball flight and
he thought that if you knew what was doing, then
you could guess what the club was doing. And, if
knew what the club was doing, you knew what to
make the body do. And then, finally, Homer Kelley who
wrote an absolute classic called The Golfing Machine and probably,
I think, did the best work on swing plane and
compression. Swinging on a plane and learning to have the
leading arm and the shaft to about in line when
you hit the ball. I haven't seen many copies of
these about. But, if you are a golf not like
me, you could just read this and read it and
read it. It's a super book. It's very interesting. Thanks
for joining us on GolfChannel.com for the best in golf
instruction. I'm Martin Hall and you've been watching an extended
version of Martin's Library. For more tips and drills to
help your game, tune in to School of Golf, Tuesdays
at 7 p.m. Eastern.
