A dozen years ago, McIlroy asked Alan Shipnuck a question about the player he had modeled himself after, Tiger Woods: \"What's he really like?\" As McIlroy enters the last act of his highly eventful career, this book is a chance to redirect that old question and try to understand a man of deep complexity and contradictions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcIlroy's victory at the 2025 Masters packed such an emotional punch because he is golf's most vulnerable superstar.

Rotella, or \"Doc,\" as most players refer to him, goes beyond just the usual mental aspects of the game and the reliance on specific techniques. What Rotella does here in this extraordinary book, and with his clients, is to create an attitude and a mindset about all aspects of a golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. The most wonderful aspect of it all is that it is done in a conversational fashion, in a dynamic blend of anecdote and lesson.

At the start of his career, he played with a hook that threatened to ruin his game, until he dedicated himself to correcting it--and in doing so, he gained a rare and hard-fought understanding of the fundamentals. Curious fans itched for clues about his legendary technique, dubbed \"the secret,\" that allowed him to persevere and even return to the height of his powers after a car crash that shattered his body and almost took his life in 1949. His terse answer, \"I dug it out of the dirt\"--the dirt of the driving range--fueled the Hogan mystique. He went on to become one of only five players to win all four professional championships, claiming nine major championships in total. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1957, Hogan partnered with Herbert Warren Wind, \"the dean of American golf writers\" (\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e), and illustrator Anthony Ravielli to capture his expertise from the peak of his career in a series of lessons. Hogan believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break eighty. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations, as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow expanded with a new introduction by Lee Trevino, essays about Hogan and the book's legacy, unpublished photos of the publicity-shy Hogan, and more, this definitive edition offers greater context and fresh insight into an icon of the game.","brand":"GALLERY BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52605798383906,"sku":"9781668024119-new","price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781668024119.jpg?v=1790045839"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/collections\/sports-recreation-golf.oembed","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
