Product Description
The legendary golf instructional, available again. This is, along with Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, THE book Golf professionals turn to.



"Thirty years ago I was recommending Joe Dante's book The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf as a must read for aspiring PGA professionals.  What Dante said in '62 has influenced many of the game's finest teachers.  Dante was a visionary."--Gary Wiren, author of New Golf Mind



When published, The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf   radically changed the way many players thought about the golf swing.  Dante's system showed how simple it was to improve one's game, and at the same time gave the golfer one of the most comprehensive analyses of swing mechanics ever published.  Now, thirty-three years after its original publication, Main Street is proud to reissue this classic instructional. Dante begins by sweeping out all the misconceptions of the game.  "If good golf is to be learned and the poor player is to improve, a purging must take place, painful as it may be." Dante discusses a few basics of grip and stance, and then he gets to the heart of his book, the four magic moves.  As he reveals each of the moves, Dante focuses on the physical checkpoints so that any golfer can make sure that his or her swing is on the right track.



The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf is straightforward and easy to understand, yet unlike other golf books it is irreverent and audacious in its approach to mastering the game.  The publication of this rediscovered classic is sure to establish Joe Dante's reputation as one of golf's greatest teachers.

Reader Reviews
I have played golf for 45 years and my lowest handicap was 5.I have read and reread every single instructional book,including Hogan,Leadbetter,Ballard,Nicklaus,as well as The Golfing Machine and The Search For The Perfect Golf Swing.My library has more golf books than I have had bogeys.I have also been to McLeans School at Doral three times.All said,I consider all of the above a complete waste of my time. Dante's clear and precise and simple explanation of how the golf swing works from a physical as well as a theoretical point of view,including the explanation of the Coefficient of Angular Momentum,has given me a new life on the golf course. My ball striking is pure,my confidence is high,and my mind is no longer paralyzed by hundreds of worthless swing thoughts. I have zero interest in any more lessons from any pro,do not read golf magazines anymore,and scoff at the latest theories which are created just to sell more books. I cannot wait to get to the course just to hit balls and ingrain the four moves which,essentially,promotes a flat left wrist,a firm left side,a stable body over the ball,and most importantly,starting the downswing with your hips while completely leaving your arms and hands and shoulders behind. The ball flight is absolutely the best I have ever witnessed with the least amount of effort. I am hitting each club at least one club longer with a lot less effort. Finally,when a shot goes astray,you get instant feeedback as to the reason and you can fix it on the next shot. If I swear by this book,it is because it has brought new life to my golf game and I finally have the tools to get down to a scratch golfer within a very short period of time.
