Eight Minutes to Better Golf: How to Improve Your Game by Finding Your Natural Swing

by Ji Kim

Overview

Eight Minutes to Better Golf enables golfers to find their best swing quickly using a simple, effective approach—the “Focus Drill” method—that golf instructor Ji Kim has been perfecting over a thirty-year period. As a result, he’s earned the nickname “Doctor of Golf” among many of his more than 60,000 students. Kim’s methods and philosophy even prompted Kelly Tilghman, a celebrity announcer on the Golf Channel, to coin a phrase to describe them. Thus, the practices became known as the “Circle of Golf.”

This book covers various facets of this strategy, detailing different approaches to:

• Grips
• Backswing
• Downswing
• Driving
• The short game
• Specialty shots
• And more!

Over one hundred instructive color photos accompany the text to assist novice and experienced golfers alike!
