Almost everyone I love plays golf. My parents, my brothers and my husband. My children are learning. We have many golf books around our house, and this is the first one I have ever read cover to cover. It is filled with great tips and stories. I may even dust off the set of clubs I got 10 years ago and take another swing at it. My husband says this book has changed his life!

Golf requires you to think and Be the Ball makes you think about thinking. I loved reading the comments from playing pros such as such as Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Gary McCord and Nancy Lopez and teaching pros such as Butch Harmon, Wally Goodwin, Pat Gross and Stan Thirsk. It is a book that I keep going back to time and time again.
