Here are some early comments about MBA Golf
Notice the different backgrounds:
Golf Instructor - CEO/Manufacturing - Academia - and, a Quality expert.
US Golf Teachers Federation
Bruce Harrison, Golf Instructor and National Coordinator USGTF
"I want you to know I usually take your book on the plane... and love the comparisons you’ve made to the MBA world and golf."
The USGTF has over 2600 members in 35 different countries.
CEO/Manufacturing - the production of quality golf clubs-
John Riley, President John Riley Golf, Monterey, CA. www.RileyGolf.com
It’s the perfect book for someone like me, an 8 handicap and President of a company that manufactures golf equipment..... I particularly liked 1) the hammer example, 2) positioning of the ball, 3) treating both golf and business as a process. The point is, I enjoyed your book."
Academia -
Dr. Joe Foster, Professor of Industrial Engineering, Texas A&M University
"I was sure a former student would not teach me anything about golf or industrial engineering. Thanks for reminding me of my human failings... I learned to play (golf) as young as practical... By thinking about the start of the swing with the idea (purpose) that it was to put me in position to start the down swing, I immediately improved my game... The hammer and nail theory. What a neat way to explain a difficult concept.... As you can see, I think this is a great book. I wish to purchase 10 books to give friends."
USA Today -
Sal Ruibal wrote,
"Business and golf go together like love and marriage. The two favorite pastimes of the upper-middle class now have a book all their own. The book’s highlight is an ‘Ishikawa diagram for the golf swing’....."
a Quality Expert -
Ed Nocon, US Navy, TQL Senior Leader’s Seminar Instructor.
Mr. Nocon teaches quality (TQM) to Navy admirals and Marine generals.
"I was particularly interested in your quality angle on business and golf. Our teaching is the essence of both your book and the Dept. of Navy’s TQM philosophy - predictability of processes (the swing). You did a great job in your book emphasing this point."
"If golf is a target sport, why don't we have a clear picture of our attempts to hit the green?
Well, we made one. You'll see all GIRs and Par Saves for 18 holes on one visually accurate chart. On the size of a business card you will actually see YOUR GAME and IMPROVE your decision making.
Charts are explained in the book, MBA Golf, and can be purchased in booklets titled "YOUR GAME"
Take me there.
"You've probably heard TIMING is everything. It's not. It's not even in second place. There are two process absolutes that are more important than timing, and they apply to all processes. First is P______, second is S_______ . They especially apply to a good golf swing."
