A sociologist by training, Goslin has spent 40 years studying the process by which individuals learn new skills. Goslin and McGirr show the reader how to understand and manage the challenges and frustrations of acquiring a new set of physical and mental skills after age 50, how to set and achieve reasonable goals, how to become at ease on any golf course as quickly as possible, how to sustain motivation and enthusiasm, how to have fun doing it, choosing your equipment, the basics, including grip, stance, and swing, course management, how to get in shape for golf and more.
Tee to Green is part of the Best Half of Life Series books for readers aged 50-plus,who don't yet play golf.
