Jon Sherman has written hundreds of articles, sharing his perspective as a player-coach. You can finally get all of the methods he's used to become a scratch golfer and coach other golfers in one complete guide. Every golfer wants to know the secrets to golf. But they are always looking in the wrong places. There are four foundations to building a successful game—expectation management, strategy, practice, and a sharp mental game. In each of these sections, you will receive tangible and actionable advice. Finally, you will no longer have to feel like you are lost and alone in your golf game.

The Four Foundations will teach you how to be your own coach, and not waste time on methods that don't work. Stop listening to your friend's questionable tips and learn what all the greats have figured out. If you like detailed, straightforward information with plenty of examples, you will love this book. It will reshape how you think about golf entirely and give you the tools and strategies to transform your entire game.

Honest coaching not focussed on technique

Honest coaching not focussed on technique. Golfers are determined to control everything on the golf course. Jon reminders you that you play golf for fun and the parts you can control during golf doesn’t include swing mechanics, but it does include practice, preparation and the mental game.

A Gamechanger

Jon’s book (and the Sweet Spot show) has significantly changed the way I approach golf. In particular, my mental approach, practice routines and gameplay. I used to place so much emphasis and expectations on my performing at an elite level, but then I get really upset when I didn’t score well.

His effective guidance and succinct methods have reoriented how I practice and play smart, while remembering to enjoy the game. For example, I recently topped the women’s PAR comp leaderboard with +6 and now have the confidence to join more comp days. Thank you Jon for your incredible insight and pouring your heart into making this book available for recreational Golfer’s like myself. Bless, Karen
