With it''s refreshing common-sense approach, clear explanations, and helpful drills, this book by USGTF Master Pro Bob Mullen makes the perfect "go-to" reference for any golfer who wants to bring a sound, repeatable foundation to their swing. Mullen emphasises the critical importance of the "platform," the synergy of grip, stance, footwork, rotation, alignment, and ball position. A repeatable swing cannot happen until the fundamentals of the platform are mastered. Errant shots come from errors in the platform, not the swing. "Get your platform fundamentals correct", writes Mullen, "and the swing corrects itself". Topics covered include: Grip -- and how seemingly slight changes in grip can wreak havoc on ball flight; Stance -- three positions for the feet, always the same; Footwork -- truly "golf from the ground up"; Rotation -- the engine of the golf swing; Alignment -- and how optical illusions can lead to misalignment; Ball Position -- three positions, moving the feet, not the hands plus drills to practice until the skills become permanent. This book also addresses the slice -- "the number one fault in golf" -- with a fresh analysis of why the slice occurs and how to cure it. And the Author''s Notes section breaks new ground on one of golf''s perennial questions, "Hogan''s secret", with Mullen''s insightful analysis of how Hogan achieved his remarkable club-head speed.

2006 marks the 50th anniversary of the Federal Interstate Highway System, proposed by President Eisenhower as a security measure in case the United States needed to move large quantities of military supplies through the country. The result has been the Interstates, which most motorists take for granted to get us many miles at high speeds. This is Bud Smith''s tale of celebrating the Interstate system by driving the perimeter of the United States: from Ohio to Maine, down to Florida, across to California, north to Washington, then back eastward to his Ohio home all in a ''96 Corvette. Along the way he meets a cross-section of the American people and talks with them about the Interstates and what makes the system so much a part of the American fabric. This is a funny, perceptive, beautifully crafted account of a journey many of us may dream of making, but never do. Bud Smith is there to take us along for the ride.
