Praise for THE TIMELESS SWING“Perhaps the most ingenious aspect of Timeless is the inclusion of Microsoft Meta Tags for each chapter. This is truly an innovative and incredibly helpful tool.” —The Waggle Room

“I've never seen a golf book that is this simple and cogent and straight to the point. It's amazing. I started reading this….I could not literally put it down. I watched all the videos.”—The Rush Limbaugh Radio Show

“In addition to sharp photography and concise written explanations, much of which is highlighted to bring out the key points, there are many Microsoft tags throughout the book. Now, it doesn't matter how you learn. It's there to read or to watch.” — The Times-Tribune (Scranton, PA)
