Internationally based, Peter Croker travels across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia annually delivering seminars, teaching schools and working with teachers wanting to improve results for their own students.

All over the world, Peter's Professional Teaching "Students" are sought out by golfers and recognized by their golfing association peers as being Top Teachers in their sections. In 2002 Harper Collins published his Path to Better Golf Book. He has been featured in Golf Digest, appeared on the Golf Channel and written about in many golf publications worldwide. This DVD set introduces you to the definitions used, an understanding of "cause and effect" and a new understanding of how proper alignments help create truly effortless yet powerful results. The First Lesson is comprised of the definitions as well as demonstrations which will help the viewer understand how for years golfers have been confused by "illusions" related to lag and weight shift. The next lesson covers Putting. A number of important drills are demonstrated. Along with the drills, Peter discusses how to gain a consistent stroke and understand the mechanics at work on the green. Chipping is the next lesson in the series. In it you will learn the proper grip, stance, posture and alignments necessary to build a great short game, and the foundation for the full swing as well. You will discover the impact zone, and how compressing the golf ball leads to distance control. Several major breakthroughs await the patient student in this section. Following on from the Chipping lesson is Pitching. In this lesson, the student learns the proper method to load the hands in the back swing, maintain balance throughout the swing and stay relaxed. The student will gain an entirely new appreciation for how the hands help create the swing and allow the body to turn back and through resulting in a well struck shot. The final lesson on Disc One is Full Swing Part One. In this lesson Peter reviews grip, stance, posture as well as the other component parts of the swing such as forward press, waggle and takeaway. Disc Two continues the Full Swing Lessons with Parts Two through Four. These lessons demonstrate the body pivot, top of the back swing, going "A to B", start and end of impact, release, follow-through and finish. Drills associated with this section will enable the student to get beyond the thinking. Finally, watch Peter as he plays a few holes and follow along as he talks you through his though process and course management ideas. No complete catalog of lessons would be finished w

The legendary golf instructional, available again. This is, along with Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, THE book Golf professionals turn to. Thirty years ago I was recommending Joe Dante's book The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf as a must read for aspiring PGA professionals. What Dante said in '62 has influenced many of the game's finest teachers. Dante was a visionary. --Gary Wiren, author of New Golf Mind When published, The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf radically changed the way many players thought about the golf swing. Dante's system showed how simple it was to improve one's game, and at the same time gave the golfer one of the most comprehensive analyses of swing mechanics ever published. Now, thirty-three years after its original publication, Main Street is proud to reissue this classic instructional. Dante begins by sweeping out all the misconceptions of the game. If good golf is to be learned and the poor player is to improve, a purging must take place, painful as it may be. Dante discusses a few basics of grip and stance, and then he gets to the heart of his book, the four magic moves. As he reveals each of the moves, Dante focuses on the physical checkpoints so that any golfer can make sure that his or her swing is on the right track. The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf is straightforward and easy to understand, yet unlike other golf books it is irreverent and audacious in its approach to mastering the game. The publication of this rediscovered classic is sure to establish Joe Dante's reputation as one of golf's greatest teachers.

With its mix of unsurpassed literary writing and superb history, this armchair companion is a must-have for any serious student of the game--truly The Ultimate Golf Book.
