Summary

The Tooth Fairy and the Crocodile King is a fairy tale told in simple rhyming couplets. It is the story of a sleepy child who is visited by the Tooth Fairy; they take a journey together to the North Pole to meet King Crocodile, an avid collector of little teeth:

"King Crocodile's home is made of teeth,
And shimmers quite beyond belief,
But in his mouth there is not one;
His gums are bare as a baby's bum.
He eats jam, soup and ice cream too,
With mashed up pea and dumpling stew."

In return for her tooth the Crocodile King gives our heroine a gold coin which allows her to travel anywhere she wishes to go and so she visits the bottom of the sea:

“She swims with whales and talks to seals, 
And slithers with some slippery eels. 
She makes a hat from seaweed strands,
And comfy shoes from giant clams.”

Next morning she wakes to find the gold coin beneath her pillow and on her cupboard shelf:

“There sits a playful fairy there, 
Who waves her wand about the air. 
No-one can see her only you - 
And me of course, that makes just two."

    Well, let me tell you that is definitely possible with hard work, determination and these principles to help you finally breakthrough in golf. 
    You may be thinking...I’m shooting in the 90’s, there is no way I can become a scratch golfer. 
    I disagree -- why? 
    Within five years I was able to go from shooting a 122 to shooting a 72. Yes, I was able to score 50 shots better in a matter of years.

It also happens to be the most rewarding. Success doesn’t happen overnight but if you master certain skills you will set yourself up to score much better and become a scratch golfer in the long run. 
    This book is your blueprint to success -- here’s what you’ll learn: 
    - The drills that pros use to refine their game and how you can implement into your routine 
    - How to finally straighten your driver and give yourself more opportunities 
    - Learn to eliminate negative thoughts and use your mind to change your game forever
