Book Description
Butch Harmon is the world’s number one golf coach. He taught Tiger Woods through one of the greatest stretches of victories in golf history (and, perhaps even more conspicuously, did not teach Tiger Woods following his unprecedented run), as well as superstars like Greg Norman, Adam Scott, Fred Couples, Darren Clarke, Natalie Gulbis, and Davis Love III. How did he become such a legendary teacher and mentor? The answer is simple: He learned from watching his father. The Harmons are the First Family of golf, and Claude Harmon, Sr., was the greatest of them all. His skill as a player, an innovator, a teacher, a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a peer of giants such as Ben Hogan has gone largely unappreciated by all but those who knew him best. In this book by his son, he finally gets his due. In The Pro, Butch Harmon paints a compelling portrait of an era in sports before the emergence of big media and bigger money, and shows how the lessons he learned about life and golf at his father’s knee made him the man he is today. The Pro is both a family and a golf memoir, as well as an inside look at what it takes to teach the Tigers of the world. It describes how Butch and his brothers, who are also teachers, transfer their father’s unique wit, wisdom, and philosophy to the next generation of golfers. Sometimes their advice relates to the game, sometimes they simply offer words of encouragement and motivation, sometimes they make pointed criticisms intended to shock their students into focus, and sometimes they try to impart simple advice about “walking around through life.” The Harmon brothers are teachers who share a special quality: All of their lessons are passed down from their father. Millions of golf fans know Butch Harmon; many are even familiar with his father and brothers. But never before have we been given such an intimate look at life among the legends of golf. The Pro is the story of an extraordinary father and son that will resonate with anyone who has ever looked back on life and recognized the wisdom of their parents’ teachings. "Golf's hard," Dad would say, pointing a meaty finger at me as if he were about to reveal the secret of the Rosetta Stone. “Good golf is damn hard, and championship golf is something only a few will ever see. But that’s how it should be. If it were easy, everybody would do it. And where’s the fun in that?” From Butch Harmon, the world’s number one golf coach, comes the inside story of how he learned everything he knows about golf and life from his father, Claude Harmon, Sr. Both a family memoir and a reminiscence of growing up among the legends of sport, The Pro is a portrait of one extraordinary family and the game that will carry their legacy for years to come.

Book Description
'The pro tour's hottest coach' (Golf Digest) distills the lessons of a private strategy session into an indispensable 'soft skills' companion. Credited with transforming the short games of world-class golfers like Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam, and Yani Tseng, Dave Stockton is one of the most sought-after coaches in golf. Yet Stockton's natural abilities are more like the average player's than those of most tour superstars. Not particularly long off the tee and average in terms of ballstriking, Stockton has won multiple major championships through a willingness to set his ego aside and analyze his game objectively - precisely what make him so effective as an instructor. The hallmark of Stockton's coaching is the idea that 'trying doesn't work.' He shows students how to get out of their own way and let their subconscious take over. In Own Your Game, Stockton recreates the experience of riding eighteen holes with him at one of his highly sought-after corporate outings. He explains how any player can learn to use his or her mind effectively - both in the microcosm of the shot at hand and in plotting a way through a round and gives players the tools and the freedom to play better with the swing they currently have. 'Dave is a creative thinker, and he sees things others don't. He has his finger on the pulse of what it takes to play at the highest level.' Paul Azinger, major-championship winner and 2008 Ryder Cup captain'While studying professional golfers in the early 1980s, my mentor, Dr. Richard Lister, told me to look to Dave Stockton as an example of a player who is superb at getting the last drop out of the lemon. What he meant was, Dave has been the best at using his mental skills to get the very most from his physical skills. Having had the honor of working with Dave and more than three hundred other professional golfers since, I can confirm Dave's gift and passion for not only getting the very most from his own golfing skills but also from those of any golfer who aspires to do the same.' Dr. Deborah Graham, sport psychologist and author of The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers'Dave Stockton can help you simplify your approach, clear your mind, and make better decisions on the golf course. He's helped me become a better player, and I know he'll do the same for you.' Rory Mcllroy, two-time major-championship winner'To play your best at the most important times, you need to be comfortable. Dave shows you how to play confident and free. It's alot of fun!' Suzann Petttersen, two-time LPGA major-championship winner'Dave has proven methods that helped him achieve success on the course as one of the all-time great putters. His insight and positive mind-set helped me tremendously, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve.'Annika S�renstam, LPGA Hall-of-Famer and eight-time Player of the Year
