David Leadbetter has been involved in the golf community for more than thirty years. He continues to teach the art of golf through his bestselling books and videos. Now, for the first time, he compresses all the knowledge he has gathered over the years and presents it in this one volume. Leadbetter, who came to world prominence in the late 1980s after he helped Nick Faldo dismantle and then rebuild his swing, has taught many of today's PGA Tour leaders and earned himself an unrivaled reputation as "the man" to remedy a troubled golf swing.
