GOLF 101

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. He designed this book to help the beginner and interested non-golfer leap past the awkward stage that each novice experiences.

Like French, English, or Japanese, the language of golf is unintelligible to someone learning it for the first time as an adult. Golf 101 is the definitive guidebook to the language and concept of golf. It fills in the gaps for golfers and non-golfers alike.

The Power Potential

A troubled youth, Randy Curtis, takes things as they come and deals with them as any young street punk does, violently. When he is adopted by a well-known psychiatrist who vows to help him, little does he know that his violent tendencies will be used as a means for murder when Curtis reaches adulthood. Seduction and death follow Randy Curtis and his aliases around the country and over a span of ten years while Detective Rudy Augur methodically searches to find this killer, who seems to seduce young starlets at will. How many will he kill? How can a man who disappears into thin air be found? Will Curtis make a mistake and lead Augur to his Capture? Follow this tale of exploitation, deception, sex, and murder as it entwines and unravels only to leave you wondering.
