Summary

Learn the techniques of the golfer who Mike Lupica calls "the most exciting player in the world today." Blessed with a game and a style no other young golfer can match, Sergio Garcia took the world of golf by storm with his exceptional technique, thoroughly-practiced skills, and super-energized competitive spirit. Here, John Andrisani studies the tee-to-green game of Garcia and shows how average golfers can improve their game by modeling themselves after him. Whether golfers are looking to unleash a more powerful swing with the driver, hit more solid iron shots, scramble around the green more effectively, or roll in score-lowering birdie putts, the lessons are all here.
