Summary: What a wonderful book!
Comment: Early this year, while scanning the forthcoming golf books on Amazon, I noticed that Mr. Reed was due to have his book on Mike Austin published in April. I noted the date in my Outlook calendar, set a reminder, and awaited it eagerly. I have been a big fan of Mike Austin's ever since he fielded a phone call from me some years ago and was generous enough to spend several hours on the phone with me. I was a fan for life and a book about Mike seemed almost too good to be true. The advance editorial review sounded promising but they all do so I really didn't know what to expect. Well, the book exceeded all of my expectations. Different from any golf book I have read and I believe that I own almost every one in print and quite a few out of print as well. There's some instruction and discussion about Mike's way to swing for those of you who are looking for that. And that is certainly worth the price of the book in and of itself. But there is so much more than that to the book. There's the story of Mike Austin's life and what an interesting one it is. There's the story of Mr. Reed's growing relationship with Mike and what a warm one it turns out to be. And there's also the story of Mr. Reed's quest for a 300 yard drive and his questioning of his own relationships with others as seen through his ever evolving relationship with Mike. It is a very good read. One that I hated to see end I was enjoying it so. I'm sure that you'll enjoy it as well.

Summary: In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing
Comment: This book was fascinating. As an avid golfer, I am always searching through golf magazines and books for some magic kernel of information or instruction that would straighten out my golfing woes. This book was an exciting find because it offered intriguing information about a swing technique and body mechanics I had not heard of or read about before. The book was so enjoyable because it is not a technical manual but a colorful account of Mike Austin; golf legend, inventor and the Guinness World record holder for the longest drive (515 yards). Mike accomplished this feat in a 1974 tournament with a persimmon, steal shafted driver at the age of 64. Mike divulges some of the secrets he employed in his golf swing to unleash unbelievable power, distance and accuracy. Phil Reed captures some of Mike's incredible life adventures that most of us only dream about. Mike's talents and larger than life exploits seem endless. In writing this book, Phil gave to those who love golf, a great story of a man who lived life large.
