Summary of The Wisdom of Harvey Penick

The collected wisdom of the game?s greatest teacher.

The legendary Harvey Penick worked with an amazing array of champions over the course of nearly a century, sharing his invaluable wisdom with golfers of every level. In 1992, at the age of eighty-seven, he offered the world a timeless collection of advice and anecdotes entitled Harvey Penick?s Little Red Book, which went on to become the bestselling sports book of all time. Unlike so many other instructors, Penick was able to dispense with the technical jargon and communicate the very essence of the game. He went on to write three more books, all bestsellers, and all filled with thoughts, stories, and golf advice that has stood the test of time. Now Bud Shrake, Harvey?s friend and collaborator, gathers together the very best pointers, portraits, and parables from all four of Harvey?s previous works. Filled with nuggets of wisdom and enhanced with dozens of personal photographs and keepsakes from the Penick family scrapbooks, The Wisdom of Harvey Penick is a lasting treasure from the most beloved teacher in all of golf.


A master of parable and the Socratic method, Harvey Penick, the Texas pro who molded the games of Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw, emerged late in his long life as the golf world's pied piper. With the phenomenal success of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, his first primer, Penick earned a dedicated international following eager to hang on his anecdotes and embrace the practicality of his gentle advice that always seems more personal than generic. The Wisdom of Harvey Penick gathers the best of that first volume and joins it with highlights from Penick's three bestselling successors: And If You Play Golf, You're My Friend; For All Who Love the Game, which is geared particularly toward women; and The Game for a Lifetime. The compilation forms a single, convenient lifelong studies program complete with photos and keepsakes from the Penick family scrapbooks.
