Review of Tom Watson’s Strategic Golf Book

Editor highly recommends this Read

I used to be involved in junior golf development.

Whenever a player reached a good standard, and they were struggling to get that few shots off to get down to a really good handicap, I would recommend that they read Tom Watson’s Strategic Golf book.

The foreword is written by former US Masters Champion, Fred Couples who stated that he benefited from Tom’s advice in terms of sometimes not being overly aggressive at par-5’s. The lay-up shot often brought him better rewards, as these tour players are so good from 100 yards and in.

There are some great role plays which asks the reader to make a decision based upon their own standard of play and Tom Watson provides examples of the best scenarios. This covers people who fade the ball, draw the ball etc.; what side of the tee it is best to tee up on at certain types of holes etc.

The starting point as far as Tom Watson is concerned is the ability to know how far we hit each club. How many of you know exactly how far you hit each club? Distance control is essential if you are to deliver far more consistent results. Nowadays we have the aid of pinseeker electronic devices to help us with such tasks.

If you do decide to have a read of this book, please provide me with feedback.
