This is a great book for the beginning golfer. You will not learn how to shape shots and there are no glossy pictures covering both sides of the pages. The first chapter talks about the learning process and muscle memory. The second chapter the author talks about his platform. It has 7 sections;
Grip
Stance
Footwork
Rotation
Ball Position
Alignment
Pre-Shot Routine

The last chapter is a unique section on the slice. I guarantee it is unlike anything you have read in other manuals. The author finishes the book off with some information on Hogan’s book. Which I found helpful, since I started off trying to emulate Hogan’s swing.
