From 50 yards and in, no golfer in history has demonstrated more talent, flair, creativity and precision, or generated more raw excitement, than Phil Mickelson. His ability with the sand wedge and putter are legendary not only among fans but his peers as well, and it is his skill with those clubs that is primarily responsible for his winning 34 tournaments on the PGA Tour, including three major championships. In his first-ever instruction book, Mickelson explains in detail how to master every phase of the short game.
 Mickelson maintains that any golfer of average ability can become a deadly short-game player by approaching the subject with a blend of science (proper mechanics and setup) and art (imagination and feel). Mickelson does a fine job explaining both; combining the wisdom of his great teachers with his own fertile imagination, cultivated from 34 years of experimentation, trial and error.
 No golfer can afford to miss out on Mickelson′s secrets and tips.

Fore! The perfect holiday gift for dads! Lee Trevino confessed his one superstition: never to use a yellow tee. Earl Woods (Tiger’s late father) tenderly recalled his son’s childhood struggles with stuttering and “sand twaps.” Hall of Famer–turned–TV commentator Judy Rankin could never, ever forget a spectacular shot she saw Greg Norman make on the 16th hole at the ’89 British Open. And Bobby Jones hated the nickname Bobby. (He much preferred being called Bob.) For years, Golf Digest’s monthly “My Shot” column has informed, entertained, and emotionally touched the magazine’s readers with its first-person accounts of golfers’ lives and careers. Now, the best of those columns have been gathered together in a book that is this year’s must-give gift for any golf enthusiast. In its pages, golfing greats of past and present—the amateurs and the pros, the men and the women, the indisputable legends and the merely very famous—talk about themselves in a remarkably candid way. They crack jokes, gossip, reveal their quirks and foibles, and, along the way, dispense a winner’s share of wisdom about the game called golf and that other game—the one called life. Striking photographic portraits illustrate each story in this revealing, often riveting collection of reminiscences.

Legendary player and teacher Jackie Burke is the preeminent elder statesman of American golf. A PGA Champion, a Masters Champion, a Vardon Trophy winner, and a PGA Player of the Year, he won four consecutive tournaments in 1952; and is a winner of seventeen events on the PGA Tour, a five-time Ryder Cup member (twice as captain), and a member of the PGA, Texas Golf, and World Golf Halls of Fame. Before leaving the PGA Tour he cofounded (with Jimmy Demaret) the world-famous Champions Golf Club (host of the Ryder Cup, U.S. Amateur, and five PGA Tour Championships) and has instructed students including Phil Mickelson, Hal Sutton, Steve Elkington, Ben Crenshaw, and many other PGA Tour pros in a career that has spanned seven decades. 
Reverberating with the straight-talking Texas wisdom that could only come from Jackie Burke, It’s Only a Game will bring the words of this venerable sage to everyone who loves the links. Spiced with anecdotes from a long and illustrious career, this stirring book features pithy insights on the nature of competition and the erosion of amateur play. Burke goes on the record about profit-minded equipment manufacturers and self-promoting golf gurus. His provocative topics include insight into why the 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup team suffered its worst defeat ever (Burke was a cocaptain), the alarmingly high cost of playing public and resort courses, country clubs that stress cosmetic appearances over the playing of the game, and a host of other topics. He also provides no-nonsense, time-tested secrets for improving anyone’s golf game, based not on shallow “tips” but on a well-rounded, sensible approach to the game that he began developing before the Great Depression.
