How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One: Finding More

Product Review

"“Ten years ago I could easily have cleared that pond.”
“I’m okay until about the fourteenth hole; then I can feel myself getting tired.”
“I’ve had to shorten my backswing; otherwise, my old back will keep me up all night.”

Sound familiar? As much as we may hate to admit it, at sixty-plus we’re different from younger golfers both physically and mentally. While this isn’t necessarily bad, it does impact how we play. In How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One, author Dr. John D. Drake explains how awareness of these changes can allow us to adapt; we can still lower our scores and get more fun from our favorite pastime.

Drake offers specific techniques and strategies geared toward seniors that can be readily adapted to every facet of your golf game—tee box, fairway, bunker, and green. How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One provides not only easy-to-apply suggestions for lower golf scores, but also tips on how to reduce anxiety and tension.

With photos included, How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One helps solve the unique problems encountered by aging golfers and helps you lower your handicap while enjoying the game."

I found the book by Dr John Drake, "How to Drop Five Strokes" interesting, helpful and plesant reading. I am 92 years old and have lost much power and distance. I was trying to make up for my weakness by attempting to mussle my shots, especially on the fairway. The results were often a topped ball. Dr Drake showed me the error of my ways.

This is the best senior golf guide available. It is a "how to" book that every high handicap senior should read, use and keep available for reference. It is an easy read with clear tips that one can remember. And they work. It is not encumbered with long technical instructions but has concise, readily understandable tips that answer the age old senior question of "what am I doing wrong?".
Dr. Drake's insight into the thought processes necessary to take the anxiety out of golf are priceless.

This book is just what I needed -- simple tips that make a big difference. I especially like the "Swish" shot, which has improved my chipping remarkably, and it shows in my score - what a relief. I highly recommend this book. -- Arledon
