Break 100 Now: From Hacker to Golfer in Just 90 Days Now, for the vast majority of golfers who struggle to shoot below 100 for 18 holes, a practical instruction book…
In Break 100 Now!, renowned “Swing Doctor” Mike Adams provides a sensible, non-technical approach that high handicappers can put to immediate use to lower their golf scores.
Unlike traditional golf instructionals, Break 100 Now! focuses more on the practical and less on mechanics. It stresses simple but proven strategies, such as replacing long irons with easier-to-hit fairway utility woods (4-5-6-7) and forsaking the driver for the more reliable 3-wood — an exchange of only eight yards for accuracy.
Written in clear, straightforward language, this book offers both the beginner and the novice a ninety-day program that enables them to go from hacker to golfer in the shortest time possible. Even experienced golfers can benefit from these invaluable tips and advice.
Customer Review: Practical Advice That Will Lower Your Scores
Break 100 Now, is a straightforward, practical book about how to shoot lower scores in the shortest amount of time possible.
The book starts by encouraging the reader to take an honest look at the equipment in his bag, and get rid of clubs that don’t work. This will start with the 3 iron, and will probably include the 4 iron as well. Instead of these longer, lower-lofted clubs, the author suggests using hybrids or fairway woods. The focus here is giving yourself the best tools that meet your CURRENT skill level, not the skill you wish you had. Much like David Pelz’s book, the author also suggests carrying several wedges, as the majority of your shots are going to be within 100 yards.
The book also features some basic instruction on the short game, as well as the full swing. While the language here is clear, I would have liked more illustrations, as I think some concepts are more easily grasped by pictures than by long paragraphs of text.
The best that the book has to offer, in my opinion, is the chapter entitled: “Course Management For Dummies”, which introduces the reader to the kind of thinking that seperates successful golfers from poor ones. The reader is encouraged to think of each swing as a precious piece of currency that has value. And while there may come a time when the reader has the skill to hit the long draw over some trees with his driver, it will probably be a much better “investment” to hit a conservative iron or fairway wood off the tee, and ensure that your next shot is from the fairway. You’ve got to walk before you can run, and
What’s great about this is that once you learn how to manage your game and play the shots that are best for you (and not necessarily the shots the rest of the guys in your foursome are playing) you will start to have a lot more confidence in your game, and will shoot lower scores as a result.
In summary, this book does pretty much what the title suggest. While readers will not actually break 100 “now”, the book outlines a plan that should have the reader shooting in the double digits within 90 days.
Customer Review: Good but definitely not magic…
This book is a solid purchase and I would recommend it for any real hacker (as I was before I bought this boook). The tips they give are excellent for lowering your score. That said, you won’t really FEEL or even LOOK like a better golfer after reading this book. You’ll just be scoring lower.
I have probably played 10 rounds since I’ve read the book and I’ve gone from not even keeping track of my score to consistently shooting right around 100. The tips in this book have kept me from hitting so many unplayable tee shots and from shanking so many of my shots within 100 yards. as a result, I have shaved a significant number of strokes from my score. I still look like a hacker to my friends, the only differnce is my score is much closer to a respectable score.
Don’t expect this book to teach how to hit better looking shots or how to get rid of your slice. This book is only good for exactly what the title says it is good for… getting you under 100 quickly. That’s it.
