Take Yourself from Miserable, Mediocre Golfer to Consistent Par-Breaker

Imagine this. You've been working on your golf game for the past few months now, and you think you're starting to see results.

You read all the books, forums, and watched all the videos in preparation for this moment.

You take the shot. You swing. And miss. Again.

Aren't you sick of that feeling?

I know it way too well. It took me years to go from a totally inconsistent golfer to one that could regularly break par.

I browsed golf forums, social media groups, and even read dozens of books on the subject. I loved everything about the game, but for the life of me, I just could not win.

But over time, I started to gain a little traction. I would adjust my grip a bit, and my score improved.
I would change up my swing a bit, and my score improved a tad bit more. I did this with every aspect of my game.

This trial and error process eventually paid off, but it took years.

Fortunately for you, I consolidated all of that information into this single game-changing guidebook for beginners like yourself. In this book, I show you exactly what you need to focus on to see results in mere weeks, rather than spending years and years like I did.

All you need to do is focus on the tactics in this book exactly as I teach you, and you will see drastic improvements and consistent wins in your golf game in no time.

Lost Lines of Wales: Llandovery...

Jaime Green

Having covered the southern section of the Central Wales Line and its  branches in Swansea to Llandovery, this volume traces the line from  Llandovery to Craven Arms, where it met the North & West line, taking its traffic on to Shrewsbury. This takes in the remarkable feats of engineering  the Victorians undertook to forge this line across the Welsh hills, as we  take a nostalgic look at a railway lost; its country stations, signal boxes  and heavy goods and express trains largely replaced by simple request  stops and single-car diesel units.

The Dog Who Took Me Up a...

Rick Crandall, Josesph Cosgriff

The uplifting story of two unlikely mountaineers: a man in late middle age and a fearless pint-sized pup who, together, scale Colorado's highest peaks. 
By the time life had finished hitting Rick Crandall from all sides, he was at the lowest point of his life, both personally and professionally. Depressed to find himself facing a mid-late-life age crisis and watching his finances crumble as the tech industry bubble burst, he hopes his future isn't headed downhill. It is at this critical juncture in their new marriage that his wife, Pamela, makes an astute and life-changing suggestion: "Let's get a dog." 
So begins the story of Emme, a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard trapped in the body of a five-pound Australian terrier puppy. Soon, Emme and Rick hit the hiking trails around Aspen, Colorado. While she is groomed to be a show dog, it's soon obvious that her heart is in the hills and with Rick, who decides to add more challenging hikes to the mix. Before long, they are scaling Colorado's "fourteeners," peaks with altitudes of over 14,000 feet. On one magical day, Emme climbs to the top of four "fourteeners," a quarter of the sixteen such peaks she will complete during her life without once being carried on a trail or on the rocks on the way to a summit.
