| bulls eye putter history: Arnie, Seve, and a Fleck of Golf History Bill Fields, 2014-06-01 In a long, award-winning career writing about golf, Bill Fields has sought out the most interesting stories—not just those featuring big winners and losers, but the ones that get at the very character of the game. Collected here, his pieces offer an intriguing portrait of golf over the past century. The legends are here in vivid profiles of such familiar figures as Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Mickey Wright, and Tiger Woods. But so are lesser-known golfers like John Schlee, Billy Joe Patton, and Bert Yancey, whose tales are no less compelling. The book is filled with colorful moments and perceptive observations about golf greats ranging from the first American-born U.S. Open champion, Johnny McDermott, to Seve Ballesteros, the Spaniard who led Europe’s resurgence in the game in the late twentieth century. Fields gives us golf writing at its finest, capturing the game’s larger dramas and finer details, its personalities and its enduring appeal. |
| bulls eye putter history: The Golden Age of Pinehurst Lee Pace, 2012-11-15 One of the finest golf courses in America in the early 1900s was the revered Pinehurst No. 2, designed by the legendary Donald Ross and first opened in 1907. Physically and mentally demanding, the course gave players options on every hole and required them to envision and execute recovery shots from the sandy perimeters and the pine forests as well as think creatively around the intricate greens. As a result, No. 2 became a favorite of the nation's top amateurs and professionals. Unfortunately, a modernization of the course over the last four decades stripped it of much of its character. In The Golden Age of Pinehurst, Lee Pace chronicles the breathtaking restoration of No. 2 from its recent slick and monochromatic presentation back to a natural potpourri of hardpan sand, wire grass, and Sandhills pine needles. The restored No. 2--accessible for amateur play, yet challenging enough for the professional--once again stands apart for its beauty, strategic appeal, and Old World flavor. |

| bulls eye putter history: Duel in the Sun Michael Corcoran, 2010-05-11 In the rest of the world, they call it the Open Championship. Americans call it the British Open, but if any tournament is considered the battle for the world championship of golf, it is the one held annually on the great links courses of Scotland and England, the birthplace of the game. By the time the 1977 Open came to Turnberry on Scotland's west coast, Jack Nicklaus had established himself as the greatest champion the golf world has ever known, well on his way to the record that Tiger Woods would spend his childhood dreaming of and pointing toward. The sight of Nicklaus on the leaderboard was enough to make strong golfers shake. Everyone knew that Nicklaus was the man to beat in every major championship he entered. At the same time, Tom Watson had become the latest golfer to be heralded as the Next Nicklaus. Watson had overcome his reputation for choking in big tournaments and was beginning to be viewed by his peers as the top player of his generation. He had won two majors, but there were still questions about his ability to stand up under the fiercest pressure. There are few moments in sports when it is clear to one and all that a torch has been passed. The 1977 Open Championship at Turnberry was one such event. The weather was uncharacteristically warm, British golf fans bared their pink skin to the unfamiliar sun, and the course played hard and fast. Nicklaus and Watson were tied after the first two rounds. Nicklaus shot a blistering 65-66 over the last two days to post a 72-hole score that set a tournament record; but Watson, paired with Nicklaus over those fateful 36 holes, looked Jack in the eye and shot 65-65 to win by a stroke. And the Next Nicklaus had been found at last, even as the original kept winning major tournaments -- but the air of invincibility was gone forever. Michael Corcoran takes the drama of this rare moment in golf history and brings it to vivid life. He draws on his interviews with competitors, caddies, commentators, and spectators to tell the magnificent story of this epic duel in all the rich detail any fan of golfing drama could ask for. Duel in the Sun is an unforgettable tale of the rise of a new hero and the grace of an older champion welcoming him to the summit of the game. |

| bulls eye putter history: Two Years in St. Andrews George Peper, 2008-06-30 The Old Course at St. Andrews is to golfers what St. Peter's is to Catholics or the Western Wall is to Jews: hallowed ground, the course every golfer longs to play -- and master. In 1983 George Peper was playing the Old Course when he hit a slice so hideous that he never found the ball. But in looking for it, he came across a For Sale sign on a stone town house alongside the famed eighteenth hole. Two months later he and his wife, Libby, became the proud owners of 9A Gibson Place. In 2003 Peper retired after twenty-five years as the editor in chief of Golf magazine. With the younger of their two sons off to college, the Pepers decided to sell their house in the United States and relocate temporarily to the town house in St. Andrews. And so they left for the land of golf -- and single malt scotch, haggis, bagpipes, television licenses, and accents thicker than a North Sea fog. While Libby struggled with renovating an apartment that for years had been rented to students at the local university, George began his quest to break par on the Old Course. Their new neighbors were friendly, helpful, charmingly eccentric, and always serious about golf. In no time George was welcomed into the local golf crowd, joining the likes of Gordon Murray, the man who knows everyone; Sir Michael Bonallack, Britain's premier amateur golfer of the last century; and Wee Raymond Gatherum, a magnificent shotmaker whose diminutive stature belies his skills. For anyone who has ever dreamed of playing the Old Course -- and what golfer hasn't? -- this book is the next best thing. And for those who have had that privilege, Two Years in St. Andrews will revive old memories and confirm Bobby Jones's tribute, If I were to set down to play on one golf course for the remainder of my life, I should choose the Old Course at St. Andrews. |

| bulls eye putter history: 이종원의 역학골프2 : 생각하는 퍼팅 이종원, 2016-05-13 골퍼라면 누구나 들어 알고 있는, 드라이브 타구가 ‘쇼’라면 퍼팅은 ‘돈’이라는 진부한 유행어가 아니더라도 타수를 줄이려면 결국 퍼팅 실력을 연마해야 함은 누구나 잘 알고 있다. 매 18홀 경기 중에 드라이버는 기껏해야 14번 휘두르지만, 퍼터는 총 타수의 약 40%인 30번 이상 잡아야 한다. 그린에서의 퍼팅으로 매홀 승부가 나므로 당연히 골프경기 현장 TV 중계방송에서도 선수들의 경기 상황을 극적으로 중계하다 보니 방송시간의 약 40%를 퍼팅 장면에 할애할 정도로 퍼팅이 중요시된다. 특히 그린 관리 기술의 향상으로 그린이 갈수록 빨라지고 관리의 편의성으로 그린의 크기가 커지는 추세에 따라 온그린은 쉬워지는 반면 퍼팅은 점점 더 어려워지고 있다. 골프에서 차지하는 퍼팅의 중요성만큼 퍼팅 준비자세와 스트로크에 대한 수많은 이론과 연습 방법도 꾸준히 연구, 개발되어왔다. 특히 어떻게 하면 퍼팅 스트로크를 일관성 있게 유지하여 퍼팅 성공률을 높일 수 있는가는 늘 골프 애호가들의 초미의 관심사이다. 물론 퍼팅 스트로크와 아울러 꼭 필요한 기술은 그린의 상태와 경사를 읽는 방법이다. 아무리 퍼팅 스트로크가 완벽해도 퍼트선을 제대로 읽지 못한다면 퍼팅에 실패할 수밖에 없다. 퍼팅 준비자세와 스트로크에 대한 책이나 자료는 시중에 수없이 많다. 아마도 그들 대부분이 백스윙은 어떻게 하고 어깨와 팔로 이루어지는 삼각형은 어떻게 유지하고 공의 위치는 어디라야 하고 퍼터진로는 어떻게 잡아야 하는지 등등 주장하는 바와 다루는 소재도 각양각색으로 다르다. 또 퍼팅 실력 향상을 위한 각가지 퍼팅 연습 요령이나 각종 보조 기구 이용법이나 심리 통제법도 다양하게 소개되고 있다. 그러나 그린에서의 퍼터 헤드와 공의 충돌 및 골프공의 운동 역학에 기본을 둔 퍼팅 기술에 대한 책은 희소하며 그나마 다루는 범위도 매우 제한적이다. 이 책에서는 매우 주관적일 수 있고 주장하는 바도 각기 다른 퍼팅 준비자세와 스트로크나 심리 통제에 대한 부분은 다루지 않는다. 대신 주로 보통 퍼팅 관련 책이나 자료에서 잘 다루지 않는 퍼터와 퍼팅 관련 역학 개념과 이를 응용한 퍼팅 기술을 소개하고자 한다. 이 책은 내가 수년 전부터 구상해온 이종원의 역학골프 시리즈의 제2편이다. “역학골프(Mechanical Golf)”는 2009년 내가 창안한 신조어로 역학으로부터 배우는 골프 즉 역학 원리를 이용하여 골프를 새롭게 이해하고 제대로 배우는 방법을 일컫는다. 2011년 출판된 제1편 『각도 알고 타수 줄이기』는 골프공의 탄도 특성을 결정짓는 타구 때 골프 클럽에서 중요시되는 4개의 각도, 즉 로프트각, 페이스각, 라이각, 바운스각의 상호 연성관계를 역학 원리를 이용하여 설명하고 이를 바탕으로 각종 트러블 샷을 비롯한 실전에서 어떻게 응용하여 타수를 줄일 수 있는가에 대한 이론을 전개하였다. 이 책은 1장 서론 부분을 제하고 크게 두 부분으로 나뉜다. 먼저 제2장 ‘퍼터’ 편에서는 각종 퍼터의 구조와 기술 명세에 대해서 다루었다. 다른 13개 클럽의 역할이 따로 있듯이 퍼터는 그린 위나 주변에서 골프공을 홀 안으로 바로 떨어뜨려야 하는 사명이 있고 그에 적합한 구조와 성능을 가진다. 그러나 퍼터의 설계나 제조방법은 다양하여 시판되고 있는 퍼터의 종류도 수없이 많은데, 퍼터의 역학적 기술명세를 이해하지 못하고 유행하는 디자인이나 색상, 주위 권고에 따라 맹목적으로 퍼터를 고르는 경우가 많다. 특히 선물이나 각종 친선 경기에서 부상으로 주어지는 퍼터를 무작정 사용하다 보면 퍼팅 실력이 매 경기마다 들쭉날쭉할 수 있고 그러다 보면 새 퍼터에 맞추어 매번 퍼팅 자세나 스트로크를 바꾸기도 하는 촌극도 연출한다. 제2장 퍼터 편의 목적은 퍼터의 기술명세를 이해하는 방법을 배움으로써 각자의 퍼팅 습관이나 취향에 맞는 퍼터를 잘 “생각하고” 고를 수 있게 하는 데 있다. 제3장 ‘퍼팅 역학’ 편에서는 퍼팅 준비자세와 스트로크는 어떻게 해야 하고 손잡이는 어떻게 하고 멘탈은 어떻게 해야 하고 퍼팅 연습은 어떻게 해야 하는지 등에 대해서는 다루지 않는다. 흔히 국내 골프장에서의 경기에서 그린을 읽는 기술이 크게 필요하지 않은 이유는 경기 도우미의 도움을 받을 수 있기 때문이다. 그래서, 좋은 경기 도우미를 만나면 퍼팅 잘 되고 아니면 잘 안 된다. 즉 내 퍼팅 실력이 아니라 경기 도우미 실력이 크게 타수를 좌우한다. 그러나 앞으로는 점점 미국이나 유럽처럼 경기 도우미 없이 경기해야 하는 시대가 다가올 것이고, 간혹 국내 골프장에서도 경기 도우미 없는 경기를 시도하고 있기도 하다. 한편 경기자 스스로 그린 빠르기나 경사도를 읽고 그린에서의 골프공의 운동역학 이해로부터 퍼트선을 상상하고 조준점도 찾다 보면 퍼팅이 한결 재미있게 된다. 제3장 퍼팅 역학에서 다루는 내용은 “생각하는 퍼팅”이다. 일반 독자들은 이 책에 소개된 퍼팅 역학 원리를 이해하는 데 약간 어려움이 있을 것으로 예상한다. 이 책에서는 퍼팅을 단순 반복 훈련으로 몸에 익혀야 할 기술이 아닌 그 역학 원리를 이해하여 변화무쌍한 실전 퍼팅에서 경기자가 임기응변으로 적절히 응용할 수 있도록 시도했다. 따라서 초급자보다는 퍼팅의 역학 원리에 관심이 있는 중, 상급자와 지도자를 위해 되도록 쉽게 설명하기 위해 노력했으며 좀 더 깊이 있는 역학 원리에 관심이 있는 독자들을 위해서 비교적 전문적인 역학 원리는 따로 모아 부록으로 정리했다. 그래서 이 책 제목도 “생각하는 퍼팅”으로 정했다. 그렇다고 막상 그린에서 거리를 재느라 경사를 읽느라 퍼트선을 상상하느라 꾸물거리고 퍼팅을 할 듯 말듯 오래 지체하여 동반자들의 인내심을 시험해서는 안 된다. 동반자들에게 민폐가 되지 않도록 미리미리 생각하고 그린에 올라가면 부지런히 움직이고 머뭇거림을 최소화한 후 준비되면 바로 퍼팅을 해야 노력한 만큼의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. |

Ford JFK hid it from the public. Reagan practiced it on Air Force One. Bush did it in record time. Taft was surprisingly good at it despite his girth. Harding liked a nip before he did it, and scheduled his presidency around it. Passion for golf has infused the Oval Office over the past century. In fact, thirteen of our last sixteen presidents have devoted untold hours to the pursuit of the perfect swing. In Presidential Lies, little-known stories and facts reveal our chief executives' love of the game in a collection that combines history, gossip, and golf in a wonderful read.

| bulls eye putter history: The Upset Al Barkow, 2012-06-01 &“Al Barkow, golf's leading historian and story-teller, unfolds the improbable Ben Hogan&–Jack Fleck tale, and the results are as wondrous as the golf itself.&” --Peter Kessler Jack Fleck had the slimmest of resumes as a professional tournament golfer. He had never even come close to winning on the PGA Tour, and was in the mere qualifier category when it came to playing in the 1955 U.S. Open at the Olympic Golf Club in San Francisco. Yet Fleck got himself into a playoff with Ben Hogan, one of the greatest players in golf history, for the game's most prestigious title. And when Fleck defeated Hogan, it was not just surprising, it was incredible. This book presents a thrilling play-by-play, shot-by-shot recounting that brings back to life the look and feel of the entire tournament. Relying on first-hand sources, it reveals the players' mental processes as they strategized their game and handled their emotions. And it finally offers a convincing explanation for Fleck's mind-boggling victory, which was considered at the time and remains to this day one of the most unexpected outcomes in all sports history. Al Barkow is a veteran golf reporter, formerly editor-in-chief of both Golf and Golf Illustrated magazines, and recipient of the 2005 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism. His books include Gettin' to the Dance Floor and Sam: The One and Only Sam Snead. |

| bulls eye putter history: Why the West Rules - For Now Ian Morris, 2011-01-14 Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century. There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of Long-Term Lock-In theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor — geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of Short-Term Accident theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future — in a way no one has ever done before. |
| bulls eye putter history: Sierra Hotel : flying Air Force fighters in the decade after Vietnam , 2001 In February 1999, only a few weeks before the U.S. Air Force spearheaded NATO's Allied Force air campaign against Serbia, Col. C.R. Anderegg, USAF (Ret.), visited the commander of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe. Colonel Anderegg had known Gen. John Jumper since they had served together as jet forward air controllers in Southeast Asia nearly thirty years earlier. From the vantage point of 1999, they looked back to the day in February 1970, when they first controlled a laser-guided bomb strike. In this book Anderegg takes us from glimmers of hope like that one through other major improvements in the Air Force that came between the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. Always central in Anderegg's account of those changes are the people who made them. This is a very personal book by an officer who participated in the transformation he describes so vividly. Much of his story revolves around the Fighter Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, where he served two tours as an instructor pilot specializing in guided munitions. |

The debate is as old as physical competition. Are stars like Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams genetic freaks put on Earth to dominate their respective sports? Or are they simply normal people who overcame their biological limits through sheer force of will and obsessive training? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success and the so-called 10,000-hour rule, David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving it. Through on-the-ground reporting from below the equator and above the Arctic Circle, revealing conversations with leading scientists and Olympic champions, and interviews with athletes who have rare genetic mutations or physical traits, Epstein forces us to rethink the very nature of athleticism. |

| bulls eye putter history: Unconscious Putting Dave Stockton, Matthew Rudy, 2011-09-15 The Pro Tours' Hottest Coach (Golf Digest) reveals the secrets that helped Phil Mickelson win the 2010 Masters and can utterly transform every player's game. When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game. Stockton's breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap. In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stockton's lessons have helped today's leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making. |

| bulls eye putter history: The Magnificent Masters Gil Capps, 2014-03-25 The 1975 Masters Tournament always seemed destined for the record books. A veritable Hall of Fame list of competitors had gathered that spring in Augusta, Georgia, for the game's most famous event, including Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Hale Irwin, Billy Casper, and Sam Snead. The lead-up had been dominated by Lee Elder, the first black golfer ever invited to the exclusive club's tourney. But by the weekend, the tournament turned into a showdown between the three heavyweights of the time: Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, and Tom Weiskopf. Never before had golf's top three players of the moment summoned the best golf of their lives in the same major championship. Their back-and-forth battle would rivet the sporting world and dramatically culminate in one of the greatest finishes in golf history. In The Magnificent Masters, Gil Capps, a twenty-two-year veteran of the golf industry with NBC Sports and Golf Channel, recaptures hole-by-hole the thrilling drama of this singular event during golf's golden era, from the media-crazed build-up and intertwined careers of the three combatants to the tournament's final dramatic putts that would change the game of golf forever. |
| bulls eye putter history: The Art of the Short Game Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy, 2007-06-14 The hottest instructor in golf (Sports Illustrated) takes on old-school gurus with a far more accessible, intuitive, and innovative approach to those essential chip shots, pitches, and bunker rescues. Veteran golfers know that the secret to a lower score is a solid short game, but mastering those small strokes can be maddening—even for the pros. One of golf's most revered instructors, Stan Utley now reveals the step-by-step tactics behind his revolutionary short-game techniques in The Art of the Short Game. After introducing readers to his groundbreaking philosophy that explains why most players don't see all the shots available to them near the green, Utley moves on to shatter conventional wisdom about stance, grip, and ball position. From choosing the right clubs (including a checklist of must-haves that should always be in your bag) to spin reduction during chipping and fearless sand play, The Art of the Short Game demystifies the most aggravating shots on the links. Though Utley's primer features a full set of drills, accompanied by more than seventy-five photos, his approach is far removed from the monotonous, mechanical instruction of yesteryear. Giving a time-tested secret weapon to every golfer at every level, Utley's short-game methods turn trouble shots into triumph. |

| bulls eye putter history: Sir Bob Charles Geoff Saunders, 2020 Sir Bob Charles - The Biography' is the first comprehensive biography of Sir Bob Charles. His story begins in working-class rural New Zealand. In 1960 he embarked upon a career that no New Zealander had chosen before - that of a full-time touring professional golfer. The pressure was on the young Kiwi golfer as he took off around the world, with 350 in travellers' cheques to fund his new career. If he did not play well enough his cash would run out and he would be back in Christchurch as a teller for the National Bank of New Zealand. That prospect alone spurred his success. The book is an account of his 50 years touring the world with his golf clubs. The reader will encounter the key characters in the story who supported the young golfer on his way to the very top of his sport. You will meet Ivor and Phyl Charles, his wife Verity, mentor Ian Cromb and his agent Mark McCormack. There are over 150 stunning photos in the book, many from the Charles family's own collection. Combined with the narrative the images provide the complete picture of a notable New Zealand life. Bob Charles competed in the ''golden age'' of professional golf in the 1960s and 1970s. He played with, and at times defeated, each member of the ''Big Three''.The televising of golf from the early 1960s created an explosion in enthusiasm for the game. During this period, he acquired the title of the ''best putter in the world'' in the eyes of both journalists and fellow competitors. His senior career delivered another 20 years of success in the game he loved. For the first 10 years on the Senior PGA Tour from 1986 he became the man to beat. The book chronicles the success of Bob Charles as a golfer - but there is more to the man than that. With his 1999 knighthood and his elevation to the Order of New Zealand in 2011 he has been honoured not only for his success as a golfer but also for the way he has lived his life. His enduring and happy marriage to Verity and the closeness of his relationship to his children and grandchildren form an important part of the story. Verity's contribution to his career was enormous as Bob was able to travel the world, focusing solely on competing and succeeding at the highest level in his sport. Sir Bob Charles - The Biography is an in-depth study of the life and times of this great New Zealand sportsman. Sir Bob Charles - the greatest Kiwi golfer of all. I may be accused of bias in describing the left-hander as the best New Zealand golfer of all. If we look at his record that lasted more than 50 years, I believe there is no argument.'' Bob Glading. New Zealand Open Champion 1946, 1947. Writing for The Cut magazine, 2008. |
