Golf - The Best Instruction Book Ever!   $16.00   
   By The Editors of Golf Magazine

The most complete guide to improving performance in the three most critical areas of your game.

The best players in the world do three things very well: They put the ball in the fairway off the tee, they make the putts they should (and almost never three putt), and get the ball into tap-in range when hitting short shots around the green after an errant approach. These are the key areas to scoring, giving you both the opportunity to make more birdies and keeping big numbers off your scorecard.

GOLF Magazine's top-selling Best Ever! series of instruction manuals have individually covered these areas in the past, but never all at once. Now offered as a special three-volume compilation of award-winning instruction from the Top 100 Teachers in America, The Best Instruction Collection Ever! gives you everything you need to drop your handicap in a single set, with nearly 600 pages-and thousands of tips and drills-to take your driving, putting and short game to exciting new levels.

The Best Instruction Collection Ever! includes GOLF Magazine's newest title, The Best Driving Instruction Book Ever!, plus it's game-changing The Best Putting Instruction Book Ever! and The Best Short Game Instruction Book Ever! in a specially bound anthology of expert advice from the most sought-after instructors in the game. Three bonus DVDs featuring video lessons that support the book lessons also are included, making the collection golf's most complete guide to improving your game in the three key scoring areas.

The Best Instruction Collection Ever!, like all of the magazine's lesson manuals, is backed by decades of experience and the award-winning instruction you can only find in GOLF Magazine. It's the only reference golfers who are serious about improving will ever need, and the fastest way to save strokes and make the game easy.

You can shoot in the 70's!
Ben Hogan has long believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently -- and here, with Herbert Warren Wind, and artist Anthony Ravielli, he tells you, step by step, just how to go about it.

The greatest golfer of our generation has distilled his experience as teacher, player, and observer of golf into a series of richly illustrated "visual instructions" that not only can improve your game and lower your score, but also can help you get even more fun out of what many people already think is the most enjoyable game in the world.

Each chapter, each tested "fundamental" is explained and demonstrated with amazing detail and clarity. It's as though the master himself were right there at your elbow, giving you a personal lesson with the same thought and care that has gone into his lifetime of golf.

The Modern Fundamentals of Golf is no instant and easy shortcut. There is none. But with Ben Hogan as your pro, you can master these basic movements very quickly. And then you can go on to develop a correct, powerful swing that will repeat. As Ben Hogan says, it's only then that you'll "discover golf for the first time."

Zen Putting      $14.42
Mastering Mental Game on the Greens --- By Joe Parent

The bestselling author of Zen Golf(more than 100,000 copies sold) presents a new book of profound wisdom and proven techniques for achieving the confidence in putting that all golfers know is the key to peak performance on the greens.

Blending Buddhist wisdom, modern psychology, and practical golf instruction, Dr. Joe Parent’s 2002 book Zen Golf broke out to become the top instructional book in golf, and continues to be a steady bestseller. Now, in the eagerly awaited follow-up, Dr. Parent provides readers with a new approach to the aspect of golf in which mental skills have the most impact: putting.

Zen Putting takes a thinking-outside-the-box approach based on the idea that by tuning into the process of putting rather than worrying about the result, golfers can get out of their own way and maximize performance. Key principles include using mindful awareness to recognize and clear away distractions and negativity, and that confidence increases when golfers take the attitude that there is something fundamentally, essentially right with them rather than focusing on what’s broken or flawed. In succinct, informative chapters, Dr. Parent applies this Zen ideal to a variety of subjects for any putting situation.

Chapters include:

• “Unconquerable Confidence”: brimming with strategies to cultivate confidence and turn frustration into enjoyment.

• “Get Out of Your Own Way”: exploring the obstacles we create for ourselves in putting, and how to recognize and overcome them to get the most out of our abilities.

• “How to Make Every Putt”: on reading greens; visualization; putting routine; the key components of a putt—path, pace, and roll; and taking the ideal attitude before putting.

• Unlike rigid how-to books on putting or fad coaching techniques, Zen Putting stirs each reader to cultivate their own unique style for synchronizing body and mind to achieve peak performance.

How To Write a Mystery Novel      $9.95
   By Gene Grossman

Gene Grossman created the popular 15-book series of Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries, each one with a crime that stumps the authorities and defense attorney Peter Sharp.

Fortunately, Peter has a 12-year-old legal ward named Suzi, who just happens to be a computer whiz, with a mind that works a lot faster than the adults involved in each case, so she usually solves the crime and lets Peter take the credit.

If you enjoy reading mysteries and want to try your hand at creating one - or a series - on your own, you will find this book a valuable aid, because it reveals Gene's thought processes as he created the books, and provides you with valuable information that will help you with your own writing efforts.

Also included are some 'insider' tips on printing, marketing, distribution, and much, much more.

As an extra bonus, the book also contains the first chapters from many of the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries (detailed below), so you can have some idea of how to 'grab' a reader's attention while they're browsing in a bookstore.
