Reviews
of the book
"I have studied this children’s golf book thoroughly
and am enthusiastic. Really cute illustrations, texts geared
towards
children and stands out from the rest on the technical side.
I can recommend this book."

voted PGA Pro of the Year.

In my view, the book is highly recommendable, unambiguous, clear and precise,
understandable to all.
I find the chapter structure appropriate and logically golf-specific.
Good illustrations (makes it easier to visualize the concepts presented), conveys
that golf really if a fun sport.
Foreword:
The journey is the reward.
For me the central themes of the game: Keep in shape! Stay cool! Enjoy the adventure!
Chapter 1
The equipment of Roman knights, reference to the times of knights reminds me
of my approach to explaining the game.
The knight (iron) rescues (strikes) the princess (ball) from the castle (tee).
For those interested, I have an article on “Spelen met Kolven”.
Chapter 2
I also place importance first on playing on the course, long before the technique.
Chapter 3
Here, I also check my beginners (right or left), however, in cooperation with
parents. The tests were new to me.
Explanation of the clubs, in my opinion, also in the proper order: from the short
to the long game. The long shots are the highest priority for kids, a must in
my course on which we always spend the last ten minutes of the hour.
Balls, equipment: in this case, I recommend also taking along a spare pair of
socks.
Chapter 4
Grip: Where I pay the most attention.
Chapter 5
I learned the pendulum method from Jens Dinser, from Ole Gutberlet paying attention
to feelings, as I also found here.
Chapter 6
The pre-shot routine: I recommend diaphragmatic breathing and pressing the tongue
(both serve to calm you down). Recommendation from Rainer Mund, national trainer.
I found all other necessary preparations in this chapter. Good explanation of
taking aim, standing parallel + railroad tracks = visualization.
Chapter 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
From the short game to the long game, from easy to difficult clubs: in line with
my approach to training.
Visualization (clock, railroad tracks), very important: knowing the distance,
amongst others, is also clearly explained. Pre-shot routine is discussed.
Chapter 13
Mentions the most important thing I tell my kids: Never fight over the rules,
allow yourself or your fellow player to play another ball, note both scores and
report the situation to the Committee. They’ll decide what’s right.
(Stay cool and don’t lose your rhythm.)
