How to Coach High School Golf.: Everything You Need to Know, and Several Things You'll Wish You Didn

I have never coached high school golf. I want to be honest about that up front, because the rest of this book sounds extremely sure of itself.

I coached college golf at Alabama, Mercer, and Louisville. Then I spent years listening to the people who do the harder job - high school golf coaches, the best storytellers in American sports - and I wrote down everything they told me, along with my complete plan for how I'd do the job if anyone were reckless enough to hand it to me.

Inside: how to pick a team for the van and not just the scores. How to run practices where the unattended bucket is banned. How to let qualifying math handle the lineup so you never have to argue with a parent named Gary. How to befriend the head pro who controls your entire season. Tournament prep, yardage books, travel, equipment, the mental game, and the case for celebrating a self-called penalty louder than a trophy.

There is also a flamingo. He has a trophy shelf. He belongs to a twenty-two-year veteran coach named Dale, who reviewed every chapter of this book and said "that's about right," which, from Dale, is a parade.

Real advice. Real stories. Frankly unearned confidence.
