The Simple Golf Swing" by David Nevogt: A Golf Instruction Book Review

'The Simple Golf Swing' will appeal to golfers looking for a simple system to develop more accurate and powerful golf swings, which they can easily and consistently execute in the golf course. The great thing about the book is the simple and clear way the lessons are given, and how each chapter gradually helps the reader fully grasp Nevogt's simple system in executing a great swing.

The first thing Nevogt tackles is the set-up. Several set-up tips and how they affect the swing are provided in this book, together with some illustration to help the readers understand the concepts.
What makes Nevogt's book especially useful for non-professional golfers is that the lessons are clearly described step-by-step and the key concepts are well-illustrated. Nevogt's makes sure that the reader is not left confused or in need of another golf book to help them understand the book's lessons. Moreover, chapter summaries are provided to further reinforce learning.

David Nevogt's, 'The Simple Golf Swing' also distinguishes itself from other golf lesson books with its special emphasis on how to develop and maintain 'powerful timing' in golf, and not just how to hit the ball with more power. From the back swing to the down swing, ball impact, and follow-through, Nevogt explains the effect of good timing and how to achieve it.

Next, Nevogt de-constructs the effective swing into 5 basic movements which makes up his version of the 'simple golf swing' that works. According to Nevogt, these 5 basic moves will help any golfer to easily hit long distance golf shots at a greater consistency. So if you correctly set up and execute Nevogt's 5 simple steps, you will be able to deliver a powerful swing that would feel natural for you.

Nowadays, printed and digital swing tutorials are largely written by professional golfers teaching you how to do 'their style' of a swing. However, we have come to realize that these types of swings with its numerous minute moves are not necessarily the best golf swing for less advanced players to start learning and improving their golf game.

Hence, in his book, Nevogt makes it a point to teach us how to streamline our golf swing in just a few steps to help us to be able to play a good game of golf more consistently.
