I LOVE GOLF! A Survival Guide For Beginners - Paperback

by Ricardo Sosapavon (Author)

When he first started playing golf, Ricardo Sosapavon found little, if any, information in books that would actually help a beginning golfer-most books were too technical for the beginner or assumed the reader already has some familiarity with the game. This became the inspiration for I Love Golf! A Survival Guide for Beginners, a well-crafted, fun, and easy-to-understand golf instructional for anyone who is new to the game. I Love Golf! is written in a fun and informative way-golf lingo and concept are translated into every-day language so the reader can easily understand, and starts at the very beginning, giving detailed explanations of basic concepts such as: - A thorough explanation of the game - Easy-to-understand instructions and diagrams - Suggestions on how to avoid embarrassment as a beginner - Great anecdotes from the author's experiences as a golfer - Tips for mastering the mental game I Love Golf! is the perfect book for anyone who wants to learn the game.

Author Biography

Ricardo Sosapavon traded his day-job at Microsoft for a different kind of challenge on the golf course. He'd always been a sports enthusiast, first with tennis, then as a devoted mountain biker, yet golf would prove to be his biggest challenge yet. He started playing golf in 2002, and after taking lessons two to three times a week for a year, lowered his handicap index to 6.3. He's played in and won several golf tournaments at club-level, and was part of the team that won an inter-club championship in Mexico City. His greatest accomplishment on the golf course so far has been scoring his lowest round, a 73, and achieving his lowest handicap index of 4.7. Ricardo was born and raised in Mexico. He moved to the United States in 2006 with his wife of many years and two daughters. His strong faith guides him daily as a partner in a bicycle-based small business, Cletaworld.com, with his family, and on the golf course.
