Book Description
The editor-in-chief of Golf magazine examines the friendship that took root while he and his son set out to dispel the myth that golf is a good walk spoiled. Teenagers are notorious for differences with their parents, but George Peper has been lucky to share a special friendship with his 18-year-old son, Scott. For the past decade, the two have bonded over a mutual passion for golf, spending hundreds of hours together they would never have enjoyed if not for their love of chasing around a little white ball. Now, Peper examines their relationship, analyzing how their roles have morphed from faultless father and worshipful son to teacher and pupil, dictator and insurgent, and ultimately, target and assassin, as son tries to outscore father over 18 holes. In an endearing portrait, George Peper hits on the universal lessons of life, love, and golf-as he's learned them from his teenage son.

Book Description
Wretched excess, rock stardom, and golf—from the man who invented shock rock In this tell-all memoir, Alice Cooper speaks candidly about his life and career, including all the years of rock ’n’ roll history he’s been a part of, the addictions he faced, and the surprising ways he found redemption. From a childhood spent as a minister’s son worshiping baseball and rock ’n’ roll; to days on the road with his band, working to make a name for themselves; to stardom and the insanity that came with it, including a quart-of-whiskey-a-day habit; to drying out at a sanitarium back in the late ’70s, Alice Cooper paints a rich and rockin’ portrait of his life and his battle against addiction—fought by getting up daily at 7 a.m. to play 36 holes of golf. Alice tells hilarious, touching, and sometimes astounding stories about Led Zeppelin and the Doors, George Burns and Groucho Marx, John Daly and Tiger Woods . . . everyone is here from Dalí to Elvis to Arnold Palmer. Alice Cooper, Golf Monster is the incredible story of someone who rose through the rock ’n’ roll ranks releasing platinum albums and selling out arenas with his legendary act—all while becoming one of the best celebrity golfers around.

Book Description
Attention & Concentration In your daily life you are probably a real pro at multi-tasking. Like quickly reading your e-mails while talking on the phone and at the same time secretly wondering what to buy for dinner. Thoughts flit from one task to the next and back again. On the golf course this can be bad news - there is maximum potential for disaster. A small noise, a memory of the last ball that you hit out of bounds and your concentration is shot. The incantation "now concentrate" just before a decisive putt is not going to save the situation either. Concentration is not only a question of talent or coincidence, it can be practiced. Learn from the Champions! * Keeping an Eye on Essentials * Learn from the Champions! * The Attention Routine * Out of Sight, Out of Mind! * The Training: Complete Concentration Please! * What You See is What You Get * Calm Eyes - Good Putter Written in collaboration with the PGA and mental trainer Justin Walsh, this book is a treasure trove for golfers of all levels of performance. With a fresh new perspective, practical step-by-step instructions and with numerous photographs, this book reflects Dorothee Haering's great passion for golf and also her serious search for pithy answers and approaches to solutions for the mental game.
