This book is written for the 15 handicap people who want to get long and go low. Which describes every half decent golfer I've ever met?

It describes how a golf obsessed, better than average golfer, spent 40 years trying to hit the ball further and go low. Books, golf schools, playing lessons, gyms, yoga, different continents, you name it. Nothing worked. Sound familiar?

Then, one strange day, almost too late in life, an email arrived from an internet golf friend 10,000 miles away. It led to LENGTH and a handicap drop from 15 to 4.

This book describes the steps needed to try to do this. Only five things to do. Two easy, three not so easy.

The exercises don't take long, which should appeal to the average golfer's instant gratification need. A 170 iron 7 iron can give you religion quick.

It really is a more pleasant game if you are 50 yards ahead instead of behind your partners off the tee. And think of the 19th hole...

Peter Hibbert first saw a golf course as a 10 year old caddie for his elementary school headmistress. The addiction persisted through university, a St Andrews residence, two continents and the research departments of two major chemical companies.

If you think about it, TV gurus and 400 page glossy golf books are the least qualified to teach the common hack.

All this high powered advice has been no help and the track record is pathetic. Why can't smart businessmen hit the ball further and go low? They have certainly invested enough money. Why has the percentage of low guys not changed in 50 years?

The author has no golf teaching qualifications except, finally after 40 years of searching he found out how to go from an average length guy to a long guy. The ultimate qualification?

Maybe this small book will provide some relief where glossier and longer books have failed.

Enough sweat and tears have been wasted already.
