Get the benefits of Jim McLean's four golf school curriculums--the Full-Swing School, the Short-Game School, the Management School, and the Mental School--without the four-figure cost.

Jim McLean is known as golf's complete teacher, and his golf schools--at The Doral Resort in Miami; PGA West in Palm Springs; Grand Traverse in Michigan; Legend Trail Golf Club in Scotsdale; Royal Links in Las Vegas; Mariner's Point in San Francisco; and Deer Creek in Toronto--have been rated the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Blending McLean's expert advice with over two hundred photographs detailing the syllabus of his exceptionally popular teaching facilities, Golf School is the must-have instructional for the tens of thousands of McLean's graduates and an irresistible and affordable golf bible for all those who dream of one day breaking eighty.

Golf School is for every level of play. High handicappers and beginners can all benefit from McLean's detailed study of the fundamentals of golf--grip, stance, posture, aim, and alignment. Low handicappers will be drawn to the author's advice on the mental game, course management, and how to become a "player"--someone capable of firing rounds in the sixties. In addition to the basics and the more advanced elements of the game, McLean shares his secrets for attaining consistency on the links with pre- and post-round practice tips and homework assignments designed to complete between rounds.

No other golf instructor has brought the golf school experience to the written page. For the first time, golfers will be able to attend a golf school tuition-free with one of the greatest living teachers from the comfort of their own backyards.

Review:

One of the most respected teachers in the game, McLean coaches professionals like Tom Kite and runs a string of prestigious golf schools across the U.S. and Canada. In Golf School, he saves you the cost of airfare, lodging, and tuition with a curriculum between the covers that's adaptable to players of all levels. For beginners and high handicappers, he stresses the basics. Better players will benefit from his emphasis on course management, the mental aspects of the game, and what it takes to think like a pro. A virtual take-home academy, Golf School requires student participation; aimed at the flags of consistency and confidence, its many drills and practice tips should pay off handsomely... but you'll have to do your homework. --Jeff Silverman

--Brad Faxon, two-time Ryder Cup player

"Jim has helped me with every part of my game including putting, chipping, pitching, bunkers, the full swing, the mental game, and management. During that time, I've worked with many of Jim's teachers, all of whom are top-level instructors. There simply isn't any better place to train or work on your game than The McLean Golf School."
