Golf can be an Easy Game - the book

This golfing book was written some time ago and may at times appear to be old fashioned or out of date with modern golf theory. It's inclusion in this publication is not to replace but rather to augment current thinking. It has been my observation that we often latch onto new ideas simply because they are new - not necessarily better. And because nothing fundamental changes in our golf game we eagerly seek the next breathtaking development.

This book offers the opportunity to re-examine some of the principles that players like Sam Snead relied on - and that has to be worth consideration.

Written by JOE NOVAK and dedicated to the countless people in both professional and amateur golf ranks, who, by their messages of approval and commendation, stimulated me to do this third book on golf. It is done with the hope that it will not only provide some enjoyment but may be the means of greater accomplishment through better understanding.

The material in this book may, at times, appear to be repetitious, but in discussing the golf swing from the different angles and aspects, repetition could not be avoided.

However, repetition has its merits, because it eventually brings one continually face to face with the same facts and fundamentals.

In all fields, facts and fundamentals do not change, and this is true in the golfing world.

Continued study and research have developed some new concepts—these concepts have produced clear-cut conclusions which are offered and presented herewith.

In addition to these conclusions, I have designed a practical method which can and will successfully develop "the art or knack of performance." Reread the text, restudy the pictures, and desired results will be produced.

In closing, let me wish "that all your drives be long and true, and all your putts real short and few."
