The Fundamentals of Quitting Golf offers permanent relief, or perhaps just a chuckle, to golf sufferers who swear they are going to quit the game, often using very colorful language. As explained by author David Divot, your mind is cluttered with excuses for your poor play: Lack of lessons, bad courses, old clubs, new clubs, and on and on. Quitting "cold turkey" does not work because, subconsciously, you want to believe this nonsense. But with Divot's 10-year course of treatment, you eventually admit that there is no excuse for your game.

Golf is a game that is enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. The attraction of being outdoors and testing your skills against the elements, as well as an opponent, are all part of the draw. But just walking out onto a course and swinging your new clubs wouldn’t be possible without learning something about the game beforehand.

The swing in golf is one of the essentials of the game. With it you can play with accuracy and style. Without it you can be the laughing stock of the clubhouse, always coming last in games and tournaments.
