The past two decades have produced an explosion of scientific results that have increased our understanding of golf. These results aren't just of academic interest. Players have used this new science to gain competitive edges, both on and off the golf course, because incremental advantages lead to lower scores and can make the difference between winning and losing. In the Science of Golf, Will Haskett gives a clear and engaging account of the most important advances in technology, equipment, fitness, the mental game, statistics, strategy, and more. Highly recommended! --Mark Broadie, author of Every Shot Counts
