INTRODUCTION

Smash & Carve Golf was inspired by the legendary Ben Hogan, considered the finest ball striker the game has known. In a tribute to the master, Scott focuses on ‘The Art of Ball Striking and Shot Making’, the fundamentals to good golf that are virtually ignored in golf instruction literature.

While other teachers concentrate on swing fundamentals and hitting the ball straight, Scott introduces players to the crucial keys to the game that the best golfers work on. In easy-to-follow text and in more than 135 beautiful black and white photos, Scott explains and demonstrates why DIVOTS are essential and how to SHAPE YOUR SHOTS in both directions. As Scott says, “Now that’s exciting and rewarding!”

Smash & Carve Golf is very user friendly for beginners and for avid players, too. The soft cover is in colour (fully glossed 5.5`` x 9.5``) and the volume has 88 pages of easy to follow, to-the-point instruction enhanced by the creative layout from Chris Kenny of ‘One Designs.’ First published in 1999, Smash & Carve has been receiving rave reviews and delighting golfers ever since. In recent years the book has been available at all Chapters/Indigo locations across Canada, but as of April 2005 the book will only be available from this website or directly from Scott.
