Golf 101

A Beginner's Guide to the Game of Golf

After fifteen years of teaching golf, it became apparent to Mark that many beginners are inhibited in their learning process by a lack of basic knowledge-and that many golf teachers don’t recognize this.

In this "Grisham--like" page-turner, Mr. Rivard has transferred his many and varied life experiences to the printed page exceedingly well--I'm looking forward to the sequel!

The Power Potential

I was surprised to find that this book had not become much more popular, as it's a compelling thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. The characters are deeply described so that we become involved in their lives, pulling for the safety of potential victims, cheering for the success of the detectives, and hoping for the capture of the killer. The clever twists and turns kept me guessing right through to the very end. Well done!
