Golf Law by Michael J. Hurdzan
Dr. Michael Hurdzan is an internationally recognized golf course architect, consultant, speaker, and writer on a wide range of golf-related topics, but none is more important than golf course safety, security, and risk management. This is not a topic commonly taught in school, nor has there been an information source solely dedicated to golf course issues. The intent of this book is to provide a platform for golfers, golf course employees, owners, and operators on which to build a safety program that fits their individual situations. Avoiding accidents, liability, and negligence that could lead to dreaded lawsuits is paramount, and it begins with foreseeing risks, assessing the probability of harm, and taking appropriate risk management strategies. Dr. Hurdzan explains each of those in great detail.
Dr. Hurdzan draws on his over 40 years of active involvement at all levels in the golf industry, especially his experience as an expert witness in over 160 lawsuits. He shares that information in a practical way intended to allow others to develop their own methods, procedures, and protocols for protecting others, their employees, and themselves.
The Better Inspired Golf Game by Ryan Johnson
Who you are is the foundational core of any golf game. These are the personal qualities you have that determine your potential. If you are deficient in these qualities, the consequences will be a limitation on your success. The B.I.G. system concentrates on these critical building blocks to ensure they are not limitations but the drivers of your golfing prosperity. There are 18 personal qualities that good golfers should aspire to develop. They represent the core values of the B.I.G. system. They are both inspirational and aspirational in that they are positive ways to be and are requisites for taking your game to the next level. Focusing attention on the development of these qualities is something all people should consider. For golfers, if they can be considered strengths, they will propel your capabilities to the next level. The B.I.G. system is built around the requirement of continuous intellectual curiosity.
In the mechanical shot section of the book, all the most important shots required of an exceptional golfer are laid out in detail. A system without information will create its own. Building knowledge and understanding is a prerequisite for a full system of information and an effective golf game. The mechanical shot system provides guidance and ideas on all the shots required for a scratch level of golf.
The full swing is covered in detail along with sections on wedges, pitching, chipping, putting, and all the “artistry” shots a golfer may face during a round. Developing next-level skill in these shots is critical. Discussing the actual mechanical process of executing these shots and the reasoning behind those techniques provides for a deep understanding required of exceptional golf. Regardless of whether you are an aspiring young athlete looking to supercharge your efforts, a mid- to high handicapper searching for a transformational catalyst, or even an accomplished golfer looking for an edge, this book could help you maximize your potential.
Christian the Ball Picker by Estela Segarra
Christian lives in a small town with his beloved Abuelo Juan, sharing mornings filled with laughter and healthy meals before heading to the golf course. Though he collects golf balls of all kinds, he dreams of playing for real—hitting the ball far, mastering his swing, and maybe even making a hole-in-one. But without proper clubs and being intimidated by skilled golfers at the range, he struggles to begin. But everything changes when Abuelo Juan finds a flyer for AmiGOLF Academy, a place where kids can learn and have fun.
Encouraged by Abuelo, Christian decides to give it a try. To his surprise, the academy is welcoming, filled with friendly faces, and has an encouraging coach—LPGA pro Estela, who teaches confidence, positivity, and sportsmanship. Through practice, patience, and support from new friends, Christian slowly finds his rhythm.
When the academy holds a mini tournament, his nerves return—but he remembers Estela’s advice: “Enjoy the process, be positive and confident! ¡Sí se puede!” Taking a deep breath, he swings, sending the ball soaring down the fairway. It’s not the perfect shot, but it’s his best yet. Christian doesn’t finish first, but he discovers the true joy of golf—not just in playing, but in sharing laughs, overcoming fears, and growing alongside his friends. He still helps Abuelo pick golf balls, but now, every afternoon, he returns to AmiGOLF Academy to play, practice, and enjoy the game with his amigos—dreaming of the day he’ll make a hole-in-one, just like Abuelo Juan.

So You Want to Play Golf by William Murdick and Paul Steward
This book provides everything a beginner needs to know to get into the golf game.

Part two shows the reader how to hit all the standard shots: the driver, the long irons, mid-irons, and short irons. There is a strong focus on the crucial parts of the short game—pitching, chipping, and putting—as well as a look at hitting out of sand bunkers. Part three provides alternative techniques for chipping, pitching, sand extraction, and putting when a player’s current methods aren’t working. Players will come back to consider these fixes after the beginner stage.
