Greg Norman's Guide to Aggressive Golf Hardback Book with Dust Jacket Written by Greg Norman with George Peper Over 255 pages Copyright © 1988 by Great White Shark Enterprises, Inc. " Greg Norman, "The Great White Shark," is the most exciting player in golf, the biggest moneywinner on the 1986 pro tour, the man sportswriters are comparing to Nicklaus and Palmer in their prime. In Shark Attack! he shares the secrets to his success with his guide to aggressive golf techniques. " " Norman explains how to be an aggressive competitor and tells why aggressive play can make the winning difference for amateurs as well as pros. From this point of view, he covers pre-swing fundamentals such as the basics of stance, shares his thoughts on gripping a club (including his own unique grip, developed after years of experimentation) and ball position, and provides easy-to-understand instructions on making the most powerful drives and accurate approach shots. Norman discusses everything - playing the short game and the rough and the bunkers, transforming bad lies with super shots, and putting boldly, the way the pros do. Each chapter of Shark Attack! is divided into three parts - "Basics," "The Aggressor's Edge," and "I Dare You" - so that readers can try increasingly bold approaches to each of the subjects covered. With Greg Norman's Shark Attack! every golfer can play the game with the style of the Shark himself, more confidently and successfully than ever before. " " George Norman was born in Queensland, Australia, in 1955. Nicknamed "The Great White Shark" soon after he began playing on the PGA Tour, he became the dominant pro golfer in 1986 when he won ten tournaments worldwide, including the British Open, finished second four times, set half a dozen course records, led three of the Tour's statistical categories, and became the first golfer to win over $1 million in prize money in a single year. Norman lives in Florida with his wife, Laura, and his children, Morgan Leigh and Gregory.
