Description

Harvey Penick's life in golf began when he was eight years old, caddying at the Austin, Texas, Country Club. Eight decades later, he is still there, dispensing wisdom to pros and beginners alike. His stature in the golf world is reflected in the wide array of champions that he has worked with including those featured on this audio program, and it is not for nothing that the Teacher of the Year Award given by the Golf Teachers Association is called the Harvey Penick Award. Now after sixty show more years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick is finally letting the secrets in his Little Red Book be heard by the golf world. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hyper technical jargon that's grown up around the game, and lets all golfers play their best---whatever their level. Already a classic in hardcover, the audio adaptation of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book will be a constant source of guidance and inspiration to anyone who has ever stepped up to the first tee. show less

Beautiful instruction because of its simplicity. Perfect for the beginner but still excellent for the good player. Entertaining as well. You'll wish you had known Harvey
This book will increase your knowledge and feel for the game. Can't say enough good things about it. Even when I hate the game, I'll sit down and reread a chapter and find myself booking my next tee time
Like a grandfather telling you about golf's old times and his experiences.. pretty cool but gets a little irrelevant.. perhaps I'm just young and new to the game
This is the year I take golf up again and Mike Brooks wanted me to read a couple by Harvey. Great stuff to chew on.
This is one of Earl's favorite books.
