Book Reviews of The Game for a Lifetime: More Lessons and Teachings

Book Review: A "must" for golfers, but others will want to read it too
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't played golf for many years, yet I remain a fan of the
game . . . as such, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to THE GAME
OF A LIFETIME by Harvey Penick with Bud Shrank.

The book's subtitle says it all: MORE LESSONS AND
TEACHINGS . . . though published in 1996, shortly after
Penick's death, it is still surprisingly relevant . . . any
fan of the sport will appreciate the many tidbits of useful
life from one of America's best-loved teachers of the game.

I especially liked hearing about how he helped develop
the careers of two of his most famous pupils, Ben Crenshaw
and Tom Kite . . . however, equally noteworthy was his account
of seeing somebody with an unorthodox grip or swing who posted
great scores--and tell that person not to let anybody fiddle
with his game.

Jack Whitaker's narration was excellent . . . I also liked hearing from
Tinsley Penick, his son, at the end of the program.

THE GAME FOR A LIFETIME is a "must" for any golfer, yet
I'd recommend it to non-golfers as well if just for them to discover
what their spouses and friends find so exciting.

Summary of The Game for a Lifetime: More Lessons and Teachings

The final work from the legendary teacher.

His gentle demeanor and timeless wisdom made Harvey Penick America's best-loved teacher of the game of golf. At the time of his death in April 1995, Harvey was well along in the work on this, his fourth book of golf instruction. Like his classic Little Red Book, The Game For a Lifetime is filled not so much with swing tips and stance aids, but with a timeless philosophy that seeks to improve your play by improving how you feel about your game.

Harvey tells us about the different methods he used to help his pupils find twenty more yards off the tee; about the sweet-swinging students whose swings he could remember and recognize without having seen them for thirty-odd years; and he advises the seasoned golfer -- whose seasoning is measured not in years, but in experience on the links and at the practice tee.

Harvey always said that he knew that his teachings have stood the test of time. His was truly a lifetime spent pursuing the best the game has to offer us: physically, emotionally, spiritually. The Game For a Lifetime is a fitting testament from this remarkable man.
