Coached by the Course walks the reader through 400+ tips covering all facets of golf. The objective is to save strokes for lower scores. It starts with a Concepts chapter that impacts most golf shots. Those concepts are applied progressively to Putting, Chipping, Sand, and Full Swing. Additional chapters include Special Situations, Course Management, Mental Game, Practice, Equipment, and Tournament Play.
The guide was compiled from 20 years of notes taken by the author on the golf course in tournament, handicap, charity, and casual rounds. After sorting and digitizing, these notes were augmented with contributions from touring professionals, full time instructors, elite amateurs, handicap amateurs, league players, and even medical personnel. All score-saving tips were stress tested on the course in stroke and match play tournaments, Pro-Ams, and other formal rounds.
Author John W. Moren is a long time student of the game who steadily lowered his handicap from the high double digits to the low single digits. He summarizes the theme of this book with two favorite quotes:
"The quickest way to lower your scores is to improve your short game. The most enduring way to lower your scores is to improve your long game. The easiest way to lower your scores is to improve your knowledge."
"Do what others don't and get what others can't."
Many of the tips require little or no practice, while longer mini-lessons benefit from sessions off the course to gain confidence before going live. The tips and mini-lessons include:
The instructional, entertaining text is augmented with true life experiences, backstories, quotes, humorous events, trivia, disclaimers, and alerts. The concluding chapter lists recommended resources including books, DVDs, smartphone apps, and golf tools with which the author has no affiliation but the reader may find beneficial for future use. The print version contains 360 pages enhanced with over 100 photographs and detailed 12 page Table of Contents to find information quickly. The full manuscript is included in the Kindle version with fewer photos and a standard Table of Contents.
