    About this ebook

    Think like a pro and you can lower your golf score.

    Whatever you struggle with—wasted shots around the green, inaccurate iron shots, missed fairways or too many shots lost in the sand—the unique coaching advice offered by PGA European Tour Player and Golf Pro John Hoskison will improve your game.

    Regain control of the ball and your mind using John's techniques learned on the PGA circuit. Stay relaxed and calm under pressure, even when disaster strikes.

    With John's proven 'swing thoughts', you can keep the ball on the fairway, chip closer to the flag and putt better on the greens. Fear and doubt will be replaced by John's carefully explained step-by-step process for preparing for a round, practicing for maximum benefit and applying the tactics needed to lower your golf score... like a pro.

      How to Lower Your Golf Score

      ~

      There are two ways to go about shooting lower scores. You can either make fundamental improvements to your golf swing, thereby taking your scoring range to the next level. Or you can learn to maximize the efficiency of the game you have right now. In my book, A Golf Swing You Can Trust, I deal with the basic principles of the golf swing, from the grip to the finish position. If you are keen to hit the ball better, you need to read the book, as it will help you build a swing with more control.

      I learned the art of scoring the hard way, on the European Tour. When I first went away to compete against world class players, like Seve Ballesteros and Sir Nick Faldo, my capacity to put a score together was pretty poor and I took a real beating. In fact I finished virtually last in my first five events in Europe. It was only when I sat down and closely analysed the mistakes I was making, did I find out some fundamental truths about the art of compiling a score.

      The top players have certain characteristics in common when it comes to scoring. Like all golfers, they have bad days when their swings don't work as they want them to, but they still manage to
