Features: Over 90 years ago, an 8-year-old boy followed his brother into the Texas Austin Country Club as a caddie, and thus began an 82-year legendary bond with golf. During this time, he transformed from a young caddie into one of the most renowned golf instructors in the United States. He enjoys and excels at teaching golfers and enthusiasts of all levels. He has also been both mentor and friend to many celebrated golf champions, with their collaboration spanning nearly a century. Just one day before his passing, he was still coaching golf superstar Ben Crenshaw for the U.S. Masters. Over his more than 60 years as a professional instructor, he recorded his lifetime of teaching insights in a red notebook, intended as a legacy for his son, never shown even to his closest loved ones and friends. When he finally decided to reveal it to the world in 1992, the entire golfing world was moved and inspired. This mysterious notebook is the Golf Red Book, which has now become a must-read for all golfers, instructors, and enthusiasts. Its author is the world's greatest golf teacher—Harvey Penick. He simplifies the technical terms found in other golf instruction books, summarizes the essentials and winning strategies of golf, elaborates on the importance of golf education in childhood, and candidly shares the simple wisdom about life reflected in the game of golf. Due to the Bible-like status this book holds in the hearts of golf fans worldwide, we have specially published the (imported edition) as a bilingual Chinese-English edition, allowing interested readers and golf enthusiasts to enjoy both the book and the joy of Harvey Penick's original teachings.
