Breaking Eighty is not just another book about how to play golf. It's a sharp-eyed, hilarious, and memorable account of how to learn to play golf.Finding himself on the shores of early middle age, Lee Eisenberg decided to devote eighteen months to the mysteries and mastery of golf. Breaking Eighty is the story of how Eisenberg recognized that his failures on the golf course had less to do with a vise-tight grip and a stiff swing than with the dynamics of teaching and learning. A thousand manuals purport to teach the layman to play golf like a pro, but these, as Eisenberg points out, are written from a teacher's point of view; his is the only one to offer empathy, entertainment, and advice from a learner's perspective.Fresh from a hardcover success that has generated a buzz on fairways across the nation, Breaking Eighty is for every dreamer (or klutz) who has ever made the mistake of picking up a golf club.
