Lower your scores, increase enjoyment. Are you struggling to take your golf game to the next level? Learn the philosophy that has helped thousands of players worldwide lower their scores and improve their relationship with golf. Swing tips come and go, but foundational golf skills last forever.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player, The Four Foundations of Golf will give you the blueprint to build a stronger, longer-lasting game. This is not your typical, fluffy golf guide that leaves all the important details out. Since 2015, Practical Golf has been one of the top online game-improvement resources for golfers. Jon Sherman has written hundreds of articles, sharing his perspective as a player-coach. You can finally get all of the methods he's used to become a scratch golfer and coach other golfers in one complete guide. Every golfer wants to know the secrets to golf. But they are always looking in the wrong places. There are four foundations to building a successful game—expectation management, strategy, practice, and a sharp mental game. In each of these sections, you will receive tangible and actionable advice. Finally, you will no longer have to feel like you are lost and alone in your golf game.

The Four Foundations will teach you how to be your own coach, and not waste time on methods that don't work. Stop listening to your friend's questionable tips and learn what all the greats have figured out. If you like detailed, straightforward information with plenty of examples, you will love this book. It will reshape how you think about golf entirely and give you the tools and strategies to transform your entire game.

Fantastic Body of Work

Big fan of Jon’s (& Adam Young) podcast and his calm and sensible advice to play better golf. I bought this book in paper back but found it much more digestible in Audio, maybe I’m just lazy! Jon validates a lot of common sense ideas you can easily overlook, E.g. take more club, aim centre green, default to driver etc. look forward to putting this into practice!

Great for course strategy tips and statistics

Fantastic book. I enjoyed it so much that I finished it much quicker than normal and took loads of useful notes. Some really fantastic insights about why to make certain choices on the course. Also a lot of great advice on the mental side of the game and enjoying yourself even when you have an off day. Highly recommended for any golfer.

The best golf book I’ve ever read

Wonderful pace to the book - Jon presents a truly credible answer to the lost art of scoring and course management in golf. For those golfers chasing birdies lost in a sea of swing thoughts this book will clear the fog. I’ve been golfing for 40 years since the age of 8. I’ve had advice, lessons, read countless books and this (for me) is the best book I’ve encountered- I’m so glad the ‘secret’ is in plain sight! Good man Jon!

Great book, poor reading

The content of this book is of undeniably high quality and is unquestionably useful to all golfers. Sadly, I was distracted from a lot of it by Jon’s odd reading style which has a weird and unnatural inflection, placing emphasis on the wrong words.
e.g. If I were to say, “I’m going to tell you what to do,” I wouldn’t place the emphasis on ‘you’. Jon does, nearly every time. I found it infuriating, sorry.
