Think before you swing: Understand your body. Make better decisions. Play golf.

Lower your score without buying a new driver.What if your biggest problem in golf isn't your swing?For years, amateur golfers have been told the same thing: fix your technique, change your grip, adjust your swing plane... and maybe-just maybe-you'll improve.But what if that's not where the real problem lies?In Think before you swing, golf journalist Laurent Agostini offers a different perspective-one built on over fifteen years of field experience, interviews with top coaches and engineers, and direct access to the inner workings of the golf industry.This book doesn't promise a perfect swing. It doesn't sell you a miracle method.Instead, it helps you understand something far more powerful: Golf is a game of decisions before it is a game of technique.
