Summary

<P>In his latest book, David Leadbetter, the game's greatest and most successful golf coach, presents his seminal work, a compendium of golf instruction covering every aspect of the swing and game. <P>Drawing on a lifetime of playing and teaching the game of golf, David Leadbetter has developed the unique ability to translate very difficult swing concepts and golf fundamentals into easy-to-understand language that all levels of golfers can learn and benefit from. <I>David Leadbetter's 100% Golf</I> is the defining point of a lifetime's theories, teachings, tips, and drills. It covers every aspect of the swing and game in general, in the smallest detail, and is free of the excessive technical jargon associated with most instructional books. From alignment, ball position, and driving to fitness, mental toughness, and problem lies, this book contains everything the practicing golfer will ever need to know. <P>David Leadbetter has been involved in the golf community for more than thirty years. He continues to teach the art of golf through his bestselling books and videos. Now, for the first time, he compresses all the knowledge he has gathered over the years and presents it in this one volume. Leadbetter, who came to world prominence in the late 1980s after he helped Nick Faldo dismantle and then rebuild his swing, has taught many of today's PGA Tour leaders and earned himself an unrivaled reputation as "the man" to remedy a troubled golf swing. In 1999 Golf Digest voted him the best coach of all time; few would argue.
