The Little Book of Breaking 80: How to Shoot in the 70s (Almost) Every Time You Play Golf

This book is a great read - contrarian but makes enormous sense. It is logical and prescriptive, and I intend to use its insights to better my game. Excellent read.

I loved the approach of this little book. Although a lot of it is common sense, the message is basically that you should focus 80 % of your practising efforts on your short game. Do not expect to play a perfect round, stay calm and approach each hole strategically.Unfortunately there is quite a lot of repetition in the book, but if you want to improve your score it’s worth a read.Okay, I’m off to practise my short game!

I recommend this book to many of my golfing buddies to help them improve their game. I am an over 70 golfer who regularly breaks 80. I have read and reread this book many times. The information in this book helps me to hone my golf game to improve my scoring. The book teaches strategy of navigating each holes. THe book explains the best way to practice and what to concentrate on during each round.

Okay book, but found myself appreciating other books that you can buy more. Seemed more like a POV vs. having data to support.

The author describes a path to shooting your best scores, whatever it may be, by proving a well supported argument to focus most of your golf practice on the short game; putting, chipping and pitching. He shows that greater than 50% of gold shots in a round are usually 20 yds and in, so it make sense. He provides a nice simple practice routine to get there! Good luck, it's a simple approach, easy to implement and I'm certain will improve anyone's game.

Got a little bored with the detail on all the fallacies and bad instruction advise. Having said that…I’m sure there are those who need to hear the countess bad remedies for scoring in golf. The best instructor I have ever had said to me at the first lesson, “Teach yourself to get up and down in 2 shots from within 50 yards and you’ll be a better than average golfer”. This book details an excellent plan for accomplishing that very goal.

Take the red pill and start on the path to breaking 80 by reading this little book. So many great strategies here for lowering scores.

All you have to do is follow this advice. Continue on your current path and get no better or just practice what this books tells you to do and you will surprise yourself in how quickly you can lower your scores. I’m SO confident on the course now.

Gives a very good different perspective for both practicing and playing golf, I've been one for just hitting balls on the driving range and not seen any improvement in scoring this book explores the game from a different angle which I am now practicing. Can't wait to play and see if it indeed makes a difference.

Put it all in line

A very Good Book , repeating again n again to get the point deliver. Different from other books. Enjoyed Reading.

Very, very interesting. Not had chance to put this into practice cos I whizzed through this book as I found it quite an inspiration. But I will be putting it into practice.
