Any swing that won a British Open in 1975 and held up long enough to almost notch another 34 years later is a swing worth learning from, Callaway Warbird Irons and Watson's swing is certainly that: simple, cheap golf clubs solid and consistent enough to stand the test of time. His advice — from the most basic fundamentals to the mysteries of low hooks, Callaway FT-IZ Fairway Woods high fades, and cheating the wind — is just as simple, solid and consistent, with lots of helpful photos and photo sequences for good measure. Watson being Watson, he neatly peppers the text with "Watson Moments," epiphanies that shed light on how he kept his swing — and mind — together in the crucible of competition. And, Watson being Watson, he also includes a nice section he calls "Swing Younger," Mizuno MP-58 Irons which offers advice to help unleash the 59-year-old Open contender latent in every golfer.
