EDGEWATER, Fla., Sept. 20, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Few sports in the world attract such a vast cross-section of people as golf. However, the majority of people, and therefore the majority of golfers, are right-handed, and golf, according to Bob Hill, is a predominantly left-handed game. His new book, The Left Hand in the Golf Swing: ... A Discussion of Athleticism, Cross-Training and Golf (now available through AuthorHouse), helps readers develop a new approach to improving their game.
"The book focuses on elemental truths fundamental to successfully striking a golf ball ... immutable nuggets I've come face-to-face with through experience, highlighted and punctuated by wisdom from, among others, Ted Williams, Jack Nicklaus and Muhammad Ali," Hill says.
Hill shares anecdotes about his experiences developing his own left-handed golf skills, and fills The Left Hand in the Golf Swing with exercise instructions to help other golfers do the same. He offers encouragement through uplifting narration to encourage readers to utilize their left sided skills in not just golf, but other activities as well. Doing this, he says, is a springboard for further development. For example, Hill outlines the physical mechanics of how focusing on the left-hand and left-side coordination of sports such as tennis and racquetball can enhance the golf swing.
With nearly 40 quotes from professional athletes, coaches and writers, The Left Hand in the Golf Swing is a how-to book that helps readers reach a new plateau of physical prowess and enhance a player's ability and performance.
"Life may only be as wonderful as it is challenging and few sports more than golf intrigue the mind of man. The Left Hand in the Golf Swing could be your recipe for success," Hill says.
A native Floridian, Hill is a realtor who played junior college tennis and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Florida. A former newspaper reporter, businessman and teacher, he says he has been golfing since he was a kid. The Left Hand in the Golf Swing is his first book.
