“A Swing for Life represents the ultimate
collection of lessons, swing thoughts, observations, and
discoveries that I relied upon in a career dedicated to the
game of golf.” —Sir Nick Faldo Nick Faldo is one of
the world’s most accomplished and well-respected golfers.
His name is synonymous with the dedication that is necessary
to reach the highest levels of the professional game, and
the patience with which he analyzed and fine-tuned his swing
rewarded him with six major championships. In this extensive
book— revised and updated from the 1995 classic— Faldo draws
on the wealth of that experience to demonstrate the skills
that lie at the heart of the game, tee to green.
Revealing a collection of absolute musts that
underpin golf ’s fundamentals, Faldo explains how to set in
motion a chain reaction that inspires a flowing, repeating
swing, a technique that can be applied to every club in the
bag. There’s a whole chapter dedicated to timing and tempo,
featuring the drills and exercises Faldo used to maintain
his own trademark rhythm, plus comprehensive lessons on
modern driving strategy, short-game technique, bunker play,
and the art of putting. Supporting his teaching throughout
are superb photographs, as well as twenty-six original
videos available for you to download from the book, adding a
valuable dimension to the learning experience in every
department of the game. For veteran golfers, Faldo’s
strategy on “working the ball” reveals the true talent of
shot-making and control, while his practical advice on
taking your game from the range to the course—the art of
visualizing shots and reproducing your skills under
pressure—is universally applicable. “At the highest
level, golf is all about the respect a player has for the
fundamentals—the lessons that have stood the test of time .
. . and that’s precisely the message that I am going to make
sure comes across in this book.” So says Faldo in his
introduction to what is essentially a master class from one
of the game’s most exacting students and prolific winners.
A Swing for Life promises inspiration for anyone who
has ever picked up a golf club.
