The Business of Golf is a series of two books with a passionate focus on creating value for the golfer based on a foundation that produces a return on an investment for the golf course owner. The Business of Golf What Are You Thinking? functions as a primer for avid golfers, college students in Professional Golf Management Programs, and golf industry professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge on the fundamentals of the golf industry and operating a golf course. This book garnered widespread appeal, due to its singularity as a source that provides strategic, tactical, and operational guidance, It has been purchased in over 16 countries and is used by 15 universities and colleges in their curriculums. In contrast to the basic primer, The Business of Golf Why? How? What?, first published in 2013, caters to the seasoned industry professional. The book guides a golf course management team in creating a strategic vision, determining the resources to be allocated and the policies and procedures that require consistent execution, accompanied with 21 templates that can be licensed at www.golfconfergence.com. Both of these books represents over a decade of research conducted in partnership with golf courses worldwide. The perspective contained in both addresses comprehensible and executable principals that encompass a diverse range of subjects including architecture, agronomy, intellectual property, rate structures, social media, water utilization and yield management. While the insights presented are clear, the analysis undertaken was extensive. The principles in these books formed an integral part of a Clemson University Ed. D.D. dissertation in which 11 leading golf course managers operating 34 golf courses vetted and validated the principals herein contained. Assurance of identifying the potential of a facility resides in the application of the books' concepts. These books help the golf course management team and staff develop a focused and disciplined approach based on quantitative data to identify and mitigate the impact of uncontrollable factors (economy, location and weather). From understanding these fundamentals, the controllable factors can be leveraged to enhance each golfer's qualitative experience while ensuring a positive financial return on investment to the golf course stake-holders.

Colin Montgomerie believes that if he caddied for any amateur player he could help him to save five or six shots in the round. Now, on the basis of nearly 20 years as a professional, Monty provides the benefit of all that experience to help any golfer improve their game. He has adapted his advice to reflect the reality that most of us do not have the time to practise as much as we would like, so his tips are straightforward and simple to follow. He also understands how much of golf is played in the mind, and shows how you can play with a new confidence. By focusing on three key areas - the long, short and mental game - Monty reveals the techniques that have helped him become one of the game's all-time greats. From the many golf clinics he has given over the years, he knows that his methods work. Above all, he realises that golf is a simple game and that once you know that so much can improve.

When they needed a refresher on a certain issue, they could consult the book, read for a few minutes, and take away solid guidance regarding their difficulties. Doc heard what Love said, and twenty years later, The Golfer's Mind is that book. From his Ten Commandments (Commandment I. Play to play great. Don't play not to play poorly) to just about any topic a golfer might imagine, this is the ideal way for players to get all of Rotella's teachings. Doc covers topics including: -Butterflies -Practicing to Play Great -The Rhythm of the Game -Routine -Setbacks -How Winning Happens In the perfect format for the busy golfer, The Golfer's Mind is the concise and convenient quick-reference tool to appeal to Rotella's millions of followers and is sure to become a golf classic.

The next time you play golf leave your woods at home, putt with your 2-iron, and you will be on your way to shooting in the 70s. Sounds radical? Well, you're right on par! Golf enthusiast Michael Laughlin, whose day job is in the film business, reveals his proven, but completely radical strategies that average golfers can use to dramatically lower their score. In Radical Golf, Laughlin rethinks how the game of golf is traditionally played and shares his surprising and innovative ideas on how to play better golf. Unlike the usual technique-riddled golf books, Radical Golf offers practical and easy-to-use tips, and is written for the legion of average players who will never have the long, crunching power game of the professional. "Golf is not a linear game," insists Laughlin, and "Scoring is definitely not related to advancing the ball as far as possible on each shot." In this fun and accessible book, the radical golfer contends, for example, that players should approach the pin much like basketball players maneuver to shoot a basket by striving to shoot from their best, or "sweet" spot on the court. Laughlin also suggests that golf should be played as two separate games (of tee-to-green and putts) and that golfers should keep a separate scorecard for their putting game. Equally radical, Radical Golf calls for using a 2-iron for putts rather than the "dreaded" putter (the loft of the 2-iron matches the putter, "Calamity Jane," of legendary golfer Bobby Jones). Hole by hole, sensible shot after sensible shot, Radical Golf simulates a round of golf with a pro to show how a radical golfer can stay within strokes of par play. Written in a witty and easy-to-understand style, with entertaining sidebars and line drawings, Radical Golf will revolutionize how golf is played both on and off the course. Most of all, Radical Golf will increase the enjoyment of playing this great and challenging game. Radical Golf is just the book that could become the bible of the weekend golfer.
