There's two books that I often use/read when I want to improve on some aspect of my game. Videos are nice, but for some reason I get the most out of these books.

My Dad gave me this book a couple of months ago and it has helped me a lot. Right off the bat it helped me with my strong grip, making it more neutral which helped me tone down my draws. All the pictures are drawings, but that doesn't seem to bother me. You still get the same effect and can perfectly see what he's talking about. It's worth a shot to pick it up if you have some extra cash and could use some tips. Here's the link for amazon. You could probably find it somewhere else, but I thought this would be the easiest. There are A LOT of pictures, which can help with things like grip. It isn't a book that has pages of nothing but words, which is nice and easy to understand.

I also have the book Tiger made, and that has also helped me, especially with putting. It's also pretty cheap if you can get it used. You can see the similarities between the two guys. Also, having both may give you two things to try out. If something Jack wrote doesn't work for me, maybe the thing Tiger does.

Just thought I'd share this in case someone hasn't heard of this book before. The copyright is 1978, but it still has helped me improve.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
