Harvey Penick's 'Little Red Book' Review
|
 |
Harvey
Penick is recognised as one of the most respected teachers the game has
ever seen and the 'Little Red Book' is acknowledged
for being the
highest selling sports book of all time.
The introduction to Harvey Penick's Little Red Book includes some powerful
testimonials from some of the greatest players in the game, including the likes of Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, Byron
Nelson, just to name a few and show just how well thought of the man is.
During his 70 years of teaching, Harvey Penick kept a record in a
little red book of all his observations and findings and it wasn't
until his later years that he decided to share these notes with the
world, something for which we can all be extremely grateful for!

Harvey Penick understood the game like no other and although his
teachings were fairly simplistic in the sense that he didn't spend too
much time analysing the swing mechanics like todays modern game
coaches, he had a knack for understanding how to relate to his pupils
and get the very best out of them.
Harvey Penick's simple, direct and practical wisdom allows all golfers,
whatever their level to play their best golf, and he avoids the use of
negative words entering the minds of his students. Tom Kite once asked
him if he should 'choke down' on the club for a particular shot and
Harvey told him to 'grip down' instead.
When reading Harvey Penick's 'Little Red Book'
you cannot fail
to notice how much he loves the game of golf and more importantly how
much he loves teaching. You can see he gets as much pleasure from
watching a beginner get the ball airbourne for the very first time,
than he does when seeing one of his students win the U.S. Open.
