     During my forty years of teaching golf and club making, I 
have occasionally thought that I must have seen all the good 
and bad things a golfer can do with a club in their hands. I was, 
and am, always wrong. Golfers continue to surprise me.

     There are, however, certain issues that seem to present 
consistent problems for most golfers. Having proved that I can 
help reduce (and sometimes cure) these problems on the lesson 
tee lead to the desire to put something in my student's hands to 
help them review some of the most important parts of golf on
their own, when I was not there to personally assist them.

     "Golf Notes" is a collection of teaching experiences 
condensed from that background and of articles written for the 
amateur golfer. The articles were originally printed in various 
newspapers and magazines and were well recieved by the golf
community because they were clear, simple and addressed
problems experienced by the majority of amateur golfers.

     With the goal of providing assistance to the amateur golfer, 
these selected articles will help in sorting through the
bewildering and sometimes confusing information currently 
flooding the market, describe how and when to approach a variety 
of shots and illustrate how simple and fun this wondeful game can 
and should be.

     Difficulty with shot execution can nearly always be traced 
back to a problem in the grip, stance or setup; the basics. When 
professional Tour golfers take lessons they are working on these 
same basics; trying to eliminate the errors that creep into their 
approach to shot execution. If Greg Norman believes that the
basics are important enough to spend days under instruction trying 
to relocate his thumb position a fraction of an inch then amateur
golfers can believe that constant reference to the basics will 
improve their shot making, consistency and level of enjoyment.

     Golf is really a simple game. I encourage you to read 
"Golf Notes" with simplicity in mind.

     Above all, remember that golf is a GAME. 
Relax, enjoy the game and have fun.
