About Good Golf is Easy

• Make your swing and your overall golf game consistent and reliable.
• Rediscover and draw upon your innate skills of coordination, timing and feel you first learned as a child.
• Save shots on every hole with techniques for trouble shots, the short game and for putting.
• Master your attitude so that you not only play your best but also positively enjoy yourself when playing!
If like most weekend golfers you have only limited time to practice and to play golf, this book will provide you with an approach that is perfect for you.

Let the player within you play
Good Golf is Easy teaches you to play naturally and instinctively. You will learn how to dissipate tension, set aside fear and instead play with freedom and joy. Slices, hooks, fat shots, thin shots or plain missing the ball should become a thing of the past and your scoring should also improve appreciably.
Luke Donald has an amazing short game, Rory McIlroy a beautiful, fluid swing and Tiger Woods an incredible record of victories. We can not guarantee you such lofty heights but we will help you play consistently and reach your full potential far more often.
Just look at Bubba Watson's magical victory at the 2012 Augusta masters. Bubba is mostly self taught and has no swing coach or mental guru. His swing may not look perfect but his instinctive play gave rise to amazing comeback on the final day. He beat the 2010 St Andrews Open Championship winner, Louis Oosthuizen after a stunning two-hole playoff.
Great players find their player within. And many years ago when players relied more on their instincts, such achievements were more commonplace. This is the secret to bringing out the very best in your game, a secret within Good Golf is Easy!
Golf 2.0
Jack Nicklaus is a great supporter of Golf 2.0 which is opening the game of golf to us all. Good Golf is Easy embraces the principles of Golf 2.0 by making golf simpler to learn and to play.

Foreword by Morgan Mason
I have been blessed in many ways over the years. One of those blessings was an impulse to take a golf lesson having never touched a club or had any interest before.
That day I was blessed again to meet John Norsworthy. Since then he has become a true friend and mentor. Although I didn’t take that first lesson until well past the age of 40, I was able, with John’s guidance and confidence in me, to go from complete novice to a single digit handicap in less than 3 years. Something I didn’t really believe was possible but John did. John is not only a great teacher but also a great gentleman. I believe this book will be a tremendous asset to golfers of all levels.
The comparisons between the players of yesterday and today are revealing and show that with all the modern technology available now, not much has really changed in the last 100 years. These eternal truths will benefit the game of all golfers and more importantly will make the game easier and more enjoyable.
Thank you John and bless you for making my life so much more enjoyable!

About the Author
John Norsworthy, son to Ernest and Elizabeth, was born in Guildford, England in 1937.
Living just a few minutes from the local golf course, John at the age of six started making regular visits there and under the guidance of a friendly member, a WWI veteran, he became acquainted with chipping, putting and the general rules of the game.
At the age of twelve, John started caddying and at seventeen he started a five-year apprenticeship as an assistant at the Roehampton, Wansted and Dulwich golf clubs just a few miles from the center of London.
In 1960 John played in The Open Championship at St. Andrews, which that year celebrated its centenary anniversary.
He found he had a natural calling as a teacher and in 1961, after qualifying as a British PGA pro, became the assistant pro at the Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club in London, England. During this time, he was a member of the British assistants team in a match against the Carris Trophy team (amateurs).
A couple of years later John became the head pro at the Radyr Golf Club in Wales. While there he also became captain of the South Wales PGA and a golf correspondent for the national TV channel TWW.
Following that, John worked for the British PGA to promote golf in Nigeria in Africa, where he also the founded the Nigerian PGA.
In the early 70s, golf was starting to bloom in the French Cote D’Azur and he was asked to become the head pro at the Valbonne-Opio golf club. He also spent a couple of years in Belgium as the head pro at the Royal Waterloo golf club, the same club where Henry Cotton had held the same position some years before. While there he frequently gave lessons to the King Léopold and became the cofounder of the Belgian PGA.
Finally he returned to the Cote D’Azur once again as the Valbonne head pro, then head pro at the Riveria Golf-Mandelieu Club in Cannes before becoming the director of the St. Philippe Golf Academy from its opening in 2002 until 2008.
Today John lives in the South of France with his wife Ida where he continues to share the magic of his Good Golf is Easy training program with his students.
