Gettin' To The Dance Floor: Golf Book by Al BarkowTo a golfer the 'dance floor' means the putting green, but in the early days of pro golf, 'getting to the dance floor' meant joining the Tour-and enduring bad food, constant travel and infrequent pay. Al Barkow is the guide to introducing twenty-four subjects who share their battle tested wisdom and hard earned philosophy, spoken by old men who have separated the wheat from the chaff. Dance Floor is a collection of some of the best thinking about the game of golf ever recorded. The wise golf professionals include Henry Picard saying to Ben Hogan, 'If you have a true swing, the harder you hit it, the better you?ll hit it.' The section on Jack Burke makes it clear why he has been a lighthouse for players including Jack Nicklaus, Ben Crenshaw, Steve Elkington, and Phil Mickelson. When he tells of Hogan?s searing advice, 'You think this is a game of stick and ball? It isn?t. It?s a game of adjustments, a game of constant change and adjustment,' the reader feels as if he?s drinking from the fountainhead. Gettin? To The Dance Floor teaches how stimulating the golf life is when lived intensely. This paperback golf book is approximately 220 pages in length and a great addition to your golf library. |
