How Come Nothing Ever Kills Granddad?
For seventy years, Pat Sheridan has lived an extraordinary and lucky life. He faced life's problems without ever losing his sense of humor, his spirit, or his optimistic outlook. His autobiography takes us inside a family of twelve children, raised in Detroit, and shows us the funny side of growing up in a large family in the post war years. He gives us a very candid look at life in the United States Army in the nineteen sixties. His civic and political activities led him to meetings and shared speaking engagements with U. S. Senators, Vice Presidents of the United States, and a meeting in the Oval Office with President Richard Nixon. We follow his business career with a no-holds barred look...
The Slot Swing
Top golfing instructor Jim McLean shares the secret to a better swing and a better game It's what every great golfer knows and every struggling player wants to know: how to find "the slot," the perfect channel through which the shaft and club head can meet the ball on the downswing for a more powerful, accurate, and consistent swing. Great ball-strikers like Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, and Jack Nicklaus were slot swingers. Today, Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and Jim Furyk provide dramatic examples. Now leading golf instructor Jim McLean shows you how to find the slot to take your game to the next level. With step-by-step instructions and more than eighty illustrations by leading golf illustrator Phi...
Golf's Holy War
The world of golf is at a crossroads. As technological innovations displace traditional philosophies, the golfing community has splintered into two deeply combative factions: the old-school teachers and players who believe in feel, artistry, and imagination, and the technical minded who want to remake the game around data. In Golf's Holy War, Brett Cyrgalis takes readers inside the heated battle playing out from weekend hackers to PGA Tour pros. At the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, golfers clad in full-body sensors target weaknesses in their biomechanics, while others take part in mental exercises designed to test their brain's psychological resilience. Meanwhile, coaches like Michael Hebron purge golfers of all technical information, tapping into the power of intuitive physical learning by playing rudimentary games. From historic St. Andrews to manicured Augusta, experimental communes in California to corporatized conferences in Orlando, William James to Ben Hogan to theoretical physics, the factions of the spiritual and technical push to redefine the boundaries of the game.

Union Pacific
Praised by the Chicago Tribune as "thoroughly and compellingly detailed history," Volumes I and II of Maury Klein's monumental history of the Union Pacific Railroad covered the years from 1863-1969. Now the third and final volume brings the story of the Union Pacific--the oldest, largest, and most successful railroad of modern times--fully up to date. The book follows the trajectory of an icon of the industrial age trying to negotiate its way in a post-railway world, plagued by setbacks such as labor disputes, aging infrastructure, government de-regulation, ill-fated mergers, and more. By 1969 the same company that a century earlier had triumphantly driven the golden spike into Promontory Su...
Pocket Caddy
A gold mine of knowledge from Golf Tips magazine, conveniently sized to slip into a golf bag—or a Christmas stocking. With this guide, golfers will be able to find the advice they need, exactly when they need it. Smartly designed to fit into a golf-bag pocket and profusely illustrated with photos and drawings, The Pocket Caddy takes the best of several years’ worth of instruction from Golf Tips magazine and distills it into nearly 80 bite-size nuggets of golfing gold. Inside, players eager to improve will find practice drills that address those sticky ongoing problems of technique, as well as on-course fixes that will get them back into the groove when things go awry. The practice suggestions include the Baseball and Whoosh drills to add power with the driver; the Split Hands to stop slices; and the Two Strings, which gets the putter on track. Those fixes run the gamut from strategic adjustments (how to keep the ball low when hitting into the wind) to specific advice on troublesome shots (when it’s okay to putt out of a greenside trap). This is simply the ultimate guide to lasting improvement—on the tee, on the course, and on the scorecard.
