Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves. “One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete guidelines to developing and maintaining the most effective, environment-friendly irrigation systems for golf courses Golf Course Irrigation offers valuable insight on the design, installation, management, and maintenance of irrigation systems-the most important management tool used on today's golf courses. Without manufacturers' bias, this useful resource provides hands-on guidance to the highest quality irrigation systems, including specifications and applications of the best pump stations, controllers, sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves, sensors, and other components that make the difference in top-quality irrigation systems. Typically regarded as significant users of water, golf courses are under increasing scrutiny by governmental and environmental groups, making it essential that the up-to-date information found here-on such topics as water supply, plant irrigation requirements, application uniformity, and construction management-be at the fingertips of every golf course professional. While fostering the best playing conditions, these systems conserve water and energy with such technology as low-pressure heads and controls that use "if/then" logic to automatically adjust to changing conditions, which can improve playability while saving money. Golf Course Irrigation is a practical tool to help golf course architects, builders, superintendents, irrigation consultants, designers, and installers to improve aesthetics and playing conditions in the face of diminishing natural resources. It is also an informative reference for golf course owners, developers, local officials, students, and fans of the game.

The Business of Golf What Are You Thinking? functions as a primer for avid golfers, college students in Professional Golf Management Programs, and golf industry professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge on the fundamentals of the golf industry and operating a golf course. This book garnered widespread appeal, due to its singularity as a source that provides strategic, tactical, and operational guidance, It has been purchased in over 16 countries and is used by 15 universities and colleges in their curriculums. In contrast to the basic primer, The Business of Golf Why? How? What?, first published in 2013, caters to the seasoned industry professional. The book guides a golf course management team in creating a strategic vision, determining the resources to be allocated and the policies and procedures that require consistent execution, accompanied with 21 templates that can be licensed at www.golfconfergence.com. Both of these books represents over a decade of research conducted in partnership with golf courses worldwide. The perspective contained in both addresses comprehensible and executable principals that encompass a diverse range of subjects including architecture, agronomy, intellectual property, rate structures, social media, water utilization and yield management. While the insights presented are clear, the analysis undertaken was extensive. The principles in these books formed an integral part of a Clemson University Ed. D.D. dissertation in which 11 leading golf course managers operating 34 golf courses vetted and validated the principals herein contained. Assurance of identifying the potential of a facility resides in the application of the books' concepts. These books help the golf course management team and staff develop a focused and disciplined approach based on quantitative data to identify and mitigate the impact of uncontrollable factors (economy, location and weather). From understanding these fundamentals, the controllable factors can be leveraged to enhance each golfer's qualitative experience while ensuring a positive financial return on investment to the golf course stake-holders.
