Synopsis
JUST RELEASED APRIL 2010 During a career that's spanned 40 years, included 68 professional tournament victories, 8 of them majors (another 5 on the Champions Tour), Tom Watson has never stopped winning-or learning. Through his relationship with the late Byron Nelson, his own unceasing research and the epiphanies that come only to one who's tested theory under the most intense competitive pressure, Tom has become a master teacher as well as player. No tour player understands his swing, or the swing, as well. He takes you through the swing and the shots that will make your game more consistent and take your scores lower. You get his insights on every aspect of the full swing and short game, his approach to course management and the secrets to success in competition. In short, the Lessons of a Lifetime, the lessons that allowed Tom, at age 59, to challenge for the 2009 Open Championship at Turnberry. The two-DVD set containing close to three hours of golf instruction and an accompanying booklet of 44 lessons was filmed at The Greenbrier Resort, where Watson is Golf Professional Emeritus. This instructional program is the ultimate learning experience, covering all facets of the game-from the grip to full shots, to chipping, putting and the secret of his timeless swing, plus specialty shots including those required in strong wind conditions. Consistency, contact, alignment, firmness of grip, pivot points, release, rhythm and legendary coach, Harvey Penick's "dead-aim" philosophy are all covered in the two comprehensive DVDs. Watson's instruction comes across in an easy-to-understand manner making it seem your standing right beside him on the tee or green. "I believe my understanding of the swing is keener today than it ever has been. This is my way of passing that knowledge along. Play well." -Tom Watson.
