There are hundreds of golf instruction books, tapes and
videos; some of doubtful value and a few, a very few
really worth the purchase price. On that extremely short
list of instructional classics are books such as Ben
Hogan’s “Five Lessons” (1957) and Jack Nicklaus’ “Golf
My Way” (book published in 1974 and VHS tape in 1983).
Joining that list this year is the new “Lessons of a lifetime”
two DVD set by Tom Watson. This is a must-have for any
serious golfer regardless of skill level; the only necessity
is the desire to improve.
Watson with a characteristically simple presentation
relates what he has learned during his Hall of Fame
career in 44 lessons beginning with the proper grip and
moving on to the stance, alignment, full swing, putting,
chips…well, you get the idea. Because the three hours
are broken down into separate lessons its neither
necessary to watch all of it in one sitting nor is it hard to
find just the right lesson to help correct a particular
problem.
Especially interesting are Watson’s insights as from
people like his longtime teacher Stan Thrisk or Nicklaus,
Hogan, Lee Trevino, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson who
was a good friend of his.
The Tom Watson 'Lessons of a Lifetime' DVD set is now
available for $49.95 at select golf and sporting goods
retailers, pro shops and on-line at www.tomwatsondvd.
