In my opinion, I give "From 60 Yards In" by Ray Floyd, 2 thumbs up, because I enjoy it very much so. It was a good read and taught me new things about my golf game. It taught me everything from hitting a sand shot-hitting out of a hazard shot. I also think that anyone that is interested in golf should read this because it is a good learning experience. My grandpa gave me this book, because he thinks I need to work on my short game, which is normally 60 yards out. I can relate to this book, because I really enjoy playing golf, and it is one of my favorite sports. The thing about golf is that it is more of a mental game, than physical game. And you also have to play within yourself and believe you can do it. The most important thing you want to have in golf, is a good mental capacity, and to be mentally strong. That’s what this book started to teach me

This book has showed me many new ways to practice and believe in myself that I can do it if I have a smooth swing, confidence, and good mental capacity. The problem I have with golfing, is the mental game, but in this book, it has showed me ways to keep my head up and take every shot once at a time. Besides learning new shots, this book has showed me how to hit out of hazardous areas, bunkers, bad lies, down hill slopes, and new techniques. Some new techniques it has showed me, is that maybe I should putt little chip shots, rather then hitting a little punch shot way past the hole, and it has also taught me accuracy and some distance control which I need some work on. You wouldn’t be how surprised by how many missed shots, and long shots there have been in golf history

Anyone who wants to play golf or is currently playing golf, but having trouble with there short game, should read this book, because it is a good benefit to your golf game and yourself. From hitting your drive, to sinking a 12 foot putt, I did not think you need a good short game to be a good player. This book sure as heck proved me wrong. There is a quote, “Drive for show, putt for dough” which is referring to the fact that your chipping and putting is what will keep you at a low score, or at least the score you want. Also, driving is just plainly a shot that you want as far out to the fairway as you desire. It is definitely not as important as your short game, or fairway shots.

Also, I think that this book will give you true inspiration to follow your dream at almost any sport in which you want to make as a career. I say this, because there are words, quotes, and life lesson’s that Ray share in this book. If anyone were to give this book a thumbs down, would be because either they don’t like golf, don’t like reading or do not know how to read. I guarantee that if you’re a golfer, and need help. That if you read this book, it will bring you great not just on hitting-swing momentum, but playing around the close fairway shots, bunkers and the green.

All in all, you should read this book even if you don’t like golf, because it is a very good read and you will enjoy it a lot. That’s why I give it 2 thumbs up. Here is a trick question?? How old was Ray Floyd, when he won his first PGA tour?? Maybe 19, 15, 22, 23, 40, 33 39 16, 35?? Who knows! Well, you have to read the book if you want to figure that one out. Also, this book has been stated one of Brandon Davis’s favorite books he has ever read, and hopes that maybe the amateur golfers may have a chance to read this book sometime in your life. Thank you folks and goodnight….. Brandon Davis has recommended many great books, but this one he says, has been the best of all!
