1. The Laws of the Golf Swing (by Mike Adams, T.J. Tomasi and Jim Suttie)
2. The Elements of Scoring (by Raymond Floyd, with Jaime Diaz)
What are yours...and why?
The reason I picked Laws of the Golf Swing is because it goes into great detail about how your particular body type might or might not be suitable for your current swing. It goes through a step of procedures to figure out what type of body type you have...and what type of golf swing you would be best suited to use. I have found out, standing at 5'7 - 185lbs, that I am a width player. Meaning I have to keep my arc wide and really stretch in order to build adequate speed and accuracy of my swing.
The reason I picked the Elements of Scoring...well, simply because it had great reviews, and that it was written by Raymond Floyd - one of those who is known best for going low. Floyd does an incredible job in delivering his instructions with no sense of caution. He tells you exactly what you need to do to score low. To not think about your swing mechanics, to stop playing like an amateur and really PLAY the game the way it's mean to be played. He does state some of the well rehearsed mantra of "short-game is key", but he puts it in a less 'cliche manner. I would say this is one of the top instructional books out there - because it has nothing to do with your swing, and everything to do with course management.
