I'm contemplating which book to buy between Hank Haney's essentials to a golf swing and the stack and tilt book. I'm new to golf (been playing almost two weeks now). I practice a bit and want to work on a solid swing before I develop, or continue to reinforce, any negative aspects to my swinging. Which book would you get or perhaps you can steer me in the right direction overall?

I hope you enjoy the 904. The beaches are also suitable for surfing. I grew up there and attended the University of North Florida and miss it, but I enjoy Orlando a lot too. Best wishes to you in Jacksonville!

Although I just started playing last week, I think there could be something to this. I [think] have a pretty natural feel for most sports and the first two times I hit a local 9-hole course with mostly par 3s I was able to get on the green or 2 shot it to the green (putting would kill me). After watching some videos by David Leadbetter and Hank Haney I have begun over thinking just about everything I do and now I'm lucky if I land on the green within 3 or 4 shots on the same course! Now I am thinking, "Am I gripping the club correctly?" "Am I shifting my weight right?" "Is my club face facing the imaginary target line?" and much much more. Hopefully with a lot of practice though, everything could become repetitive to me and simply rely on muscle memory to be able to get back to 2 shotting it to the green. Then I can start working on my putt game (terrible)!

My best shot of the week is... LOL no good shot. I landed on the green on a par 3 maybe that. I've only played twice though.

Tiger Woods career is nowhere near being over so obviously I'm going to go with Tiger, also because he is from the Orlando area. ;)

My job is marketing for publicly trader companies on the OTCBB and NASDAQ. I have been doing this for about 7 months now and love the freedom it gives me since I work from home.
