Description
For four decades Raymond Floyd has proved to be one of the most dangerous opponents in golf. First on the PGA tour through his captaincy of The Ryder Cup to his sterling record in Senior PGA events, Floyd established himself as one of the greatest winners the game has known, thanks to his ability to get the most out of his game even when he wasn't playing well. In THE ELEMENTS OF SCORING, Floyd shares his secrets for better scores. He shows that golf is not a game of great shots, but one of surviving mistakes; he teaches the right kind of mistakes to make - better to miss left or right than short or long - and stresses the importance of practicing the most valuable shot in golf: the six-foot putt. Raymond Floyd crystallises a lifetime of golfing knowledge into a concise and compelling package, giving every golfer the chance to be a sharper, keener and more dangerous opponent.
