Practical, Innovative.......1999-06-26
Well beyond theory - this is obviously the work of the men who have done it. Chocked full of stories, examples, checklists, work plans, and wisdom. If you are thinking about gainsharing or participative management - get this, read it, and use it to guide your work.
Excellent " how to " and " why" cookbook for managers.......1998-06-25
Managers, entrepeneurs, ceo s , cfo s, and consultants will appreciate this book as a prac- tical and well-explained series of methods for creating and implementing gain sharing and/or variable pay programs. More than any other book on the subject this will be a clear explana- tion of gain sharing and variable pay. It is clear, well-written, concise and yet far reaching in its analysis and down to earth examples of what has worked and what has not worked at places that have tried gain sharing management.
You will not want to discard this book during the time you are implementing a gain sharing or variable pay program. As I management con- sultant I often refer to it in my seminars and on-site consultations. Mike Pavilon, Chicago

Learning through experimenting.......2000-03-25
As a professor of Astronomy, for a long time I have been trying to find the best way to help students fixate concepts that they mostly learn through formulas. This book is a very good tool for high-school and undergraduate professors with this purpose. I recommend its experiments since they are easy to be reproduced and understood.

Before titanium drivers, before oversized heads and bubble shafts, before electronic systems to tell you how far you are from the pin, golf was much the same game it is today. The lessons Harvey Penick taught in the pre-gadget days still stand. The golf swing is basically the same, and Penick could teach it better than anybody. For most of his life, he never intended to publish his Little Red Book, a notebook of golf wisdom and anecdotes that he compiled with the idea that he'd pass it on to his son. But, for the sake of history, it's a good thing that he changed his mind. Contained in its 175 pages is just about all you need to know about golf from a technical standpoint, along with Penick's priceless memories of working with famous pros, teaching absolute nobodies to get the ball in the air, and finding a horde of bat guano and hauling it across town in a pickup truck to fertilize his golf course. This book makes you feel good about playing golf, that you're part of something steeped in ritual and mystery and tradition, and that the game was played perfectly well before perimeter-weighted, graphite-shafted irons came along.
Book Description
THE CLASSIC BOOK OF GOLF WISDOM FROM THE GAME'S GREATEST TEACHER
The Little Red Book has become required reading for all players and fans of the game of golf, from beginners to seasoned pros. The legendary Harvey Penick, who began his golfing career as a caddie in Austria, Texas, at the age of eight, worked with an amazing array of champions over the course of nearly a century, dispensing invaluable wisdom to golfers of every level. Penick simplifies the technical jargon of other instructional books and communicates the very essence of the game, and his Little Red Book is full of inspiration and homespun wisdom that reflects at once his great love of golf as well as his great talent for teaching.
Customer Reviews:
There is a lot...........2007-06-13
It's a good book, but you have to read it more one time to discover in some cases what Harvey is trying to say you. The book has a lot of pearls.
Well worth it.......2007-03-09
Harvey's little book is well worth it. I am new to golf, but I found the metaphors and stories to be very helpful. It is not as direct as many golf books, but it is wise. I found good information on the swing, bunker play, practice, and many others. Penick has firm opinions on many golf matters, but these are generated by a lifetime of golf and observation. If you have been whacking away on the driving range, this book could really help. It helped me to stay focused on fundamentals. John
Harvey Penick's Little Red Book.......2007-03-08
One of the best teaching books available. Great Humble man that I got to meet.
son-in-law.......2007-02-21
hard to buy for son-in-law keeps this book handy for re-reading chapters. was happy he is enjoying it hope it helps his golf game.
I don't know what all the fuss is about.......2007-01-17
This is a very famous book, and so I looked forward to reading it with a lot of hope that it would help my game. I found it to be pretty close to useless, and would certainly never recommend it to anyone. It does, however, do a good job of exalting Harvey Penick, which may have been his purpose in publishing it.

Keep it simple............2000-06-07
Harvey Penick's "Little Red Book" is a must for golfers young and old. With Harvey's tips, guidelines, and observations pertaining to the game of golf, the reader can see how simple the game of golf can be explained. Harvey states, "We all have to check our mistakes, but it's impossible to go through the list before each stroke." I suggest every golfer have "The Little Red Book" in his or her arsenal of golf publications.
Book Description
The town of Dornoch, Scotland, lies at nearly the same latitude as Juneau, Alaska. A bit too far removed for the taste of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the Royal Dornoch Golf Club has never hosted a British Open, but that has hardly diminished its mystique or its renown. In an influential piece for The New Yorker in 1964, Herbert Warren Wind wrote, "It is the most natural course in the world. No golfer has completed his education until he has played and studied Royal Dornoch."
If any town in the world deserves to be described as "the village of golf," it's Dornoch. You can take the legendary links away from St. Andrews, and you'll still have a charming and beautiful university town with great historic significance; take the links away from Dornoch and it would be as little noted or known as its neighbors Golspie, Tain, and Brora. (The town is forty miles north of Inverness, generally thought of as the northernmost outpost of civilization in Scotland.) The game has been played in Dornoch for some four hundred years. Its native son Donald Ross brought the style of the Dornoch links to America, where his legendary, classic courses include Pinehurst #2, Seminole, and Oak Hill.
Lorne Rubenstein decided to spend a summer in Dornoch to clear the muddle from his golfing mind and to rediscover the natural charms of the game he loves. But in the Highlands he found far more than bracing air and challenging greens. He found a people shaped by the harshness of the land and the difficulty of drawing a living from it, and still haunted by a historic wrong inflicted on their ancestors nearly two centuries before. Rubenstein met many people of great thoughtfulness and spirit, eager to share their worldviews, their life stories, and a wee dram or two. And as he explored the empty, rugged landscape, he came to understand the ways in which the thorny, quarrelsome qualities of the game of golf reflect the values, character, and history of the people who brought it into the world.
A Season in Dornoch is both the story of one man's immersion in the game of golf and an exploration of the world from which it emerged. Part travelogue, part portraiture, part good old-fashioned tale of matches played and friendships made, it takes us on an unforgettable journey to a marvelous, moody, mystical place.

Much more than just Golf. Another Golf Travel "Gem"........2007-08-12
Lorne Rubenstein has written a wonderful account of his stay in Dornoch , a tiny village in the Scottish Highlands, famous for its legendary golf course Royal Dornoch.
In superbly crafted prose, the Author tells of his Golfing experiences at this 'Holy Grail' of golf clubs, which along with St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal Troon, Royal Aberdeen, Turnberry, Muirfield and North Berwick is one of the most historic and revered courses in Scotland.
He and his non-golf playing wife Nell meet many warm and wise locals and form a strong bond with them and the community in Dornoch. The story is so well told , both in terms of pace and content, that it makes for very enjoyable and rapid reading.
Lorne is obviously already a very capable golfer but falls under the spell of golf in such a beautiful and remote location, rediscovering the shear joy of non-competitive play, the grandness and openness of the natural surroundings, the kindness and decency of Scotland's people and his own longing to reconnect with the pleasures and benefits of Golf as played in Dornoch.
A highly recommended read for the golfer who has traveled, or wishes to travel to the Homeland of Golf.
Good Friend.......2007-01-11
If golf is good friend of yours, you will enjoy this book. It certainly helps to have been in Scotland to understand better much of what is written.
A Wonderful Account of a Summer in Paradise.......2006-11-02
When I picked up a "Season in Dornoch" I was expecting something different. However, Lorne Rubenstein, with his words, has painted a beautiful landscape of the people and place that is Dornoch. I had the privledge of playing there several years ago but was on a whirlwind tour at the time and was in Dornoch for less that a day. This book does a wonderful job in showing me what I missed.
Two things of which I would be critical. First, the focus on the Clearances. Obviously the Highlanders were hard done by this event but is was over 200 years ago. Time to put it in the past. Second, I would have liked to see better descriptions of the course itself. Many of the stories from the book are written while golfing, but there is not that much specific information on the course. One of the reasons for Dornoch's fame is it was the birthplace and training ground for one of the world's most respected course designers, Donald Ross. Showing how this course influenced Ross' later works would have added an excellent dimension to the book.
A definite read if you enjoy golf.
A wonderful read, much more than I bargained for.......2004-05-14
I bought the book for a lesson in golf history, but was fascinated by the ecology, history and culture of the Scottish Highlands as desribed by the author. It is also a beautifully written travelogue, poetic and mystical, and has certainly changed the way I think about golf. This book could only have been improved by the addition of photographs.
Green Envy.......2003-08-13
This is a lovely book about a lovely place. The author had the great good fortune to spend an entire summer in the north Scotland burgh of Dornoch, one of the hallowed locales for lovers of links golf. His stories of experiences with residents are charming, and along with reflections on the infamous Clearances of the 1800's, make this far more than a book about golf.
As someone who cherishes the memory of a mere 2 days in Dornoch, I am green with envy, but the envy is tempered by the flood of good memories that Mr. Rubenstein brought back to me. So, I suggest: read this terrific book; also read Michael Bamberger's equally wonderful 'To the Linksland'; and finally, make it your mission to play Royal Dornoch, Cruden Bay, Macrihanish, and other splendid Scottish links. Ah..........

A Season in Dornoch.......2007-03-21
Lorne Rubenstein writes in a way that anyone can enjoy. In a subtle way, he has much to add to the philosophy of golf in this book. However the most important aspect of this book relates to Dornoch itself. If you are thinking of going there, it is probably a good idea to read this book. If you are golfer and have not thought of going to Dornoch, read it and you may change your mind. If you are uncertain about Dornoch this book is a must.
I enjoyed it, but I am an ageing golfer who has long hoped to go there but so far has not been able to. I am also interested in people. So if you buy this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. JSG

Book Description
A fun, fast-paced romantic comedy
Sixteen-year-old Stan Claxton is recruited to coach his best friend, Ginny, a nationally ranked junior tennis player, through a local tournament. He is also supposed to find out why she has recently fallen into a slump. As Stan and Ginny slowly figure out just how their friendship will proceed, readers will delight in a quirky assortment of characters: Guballa and Wilcutts, Stan's other best friends, who both have the hots for Ginny; a female aerobics instructor with an incredible body and a face like Humphrey Bogart's; a glamorous unranked tennis player who might be a thief; Clinkt Eastwood--maybe; and the sophisticated Lord Boxton, one of Stan's tennis heroes, who previously owned the world's most expensive racquet. And then there are the whistling toilets. But readers will have to wait until the end of the novel to find out about those.
By no means a novel for sports lovers only, Randy Powell's latest assortment of likable eccentrics will win over readers of all predilections.

Tennis and Romance.......2007-04-26
At the age of fifteen, Ginny is a nationally ranked tennis player on the fast track toward becoming a star. But for some reason she is in a slump. No one seems to be able to figure out what is wrong with her. In desperation, her coach enters her in a small local tournament. He also asks her oldest childhood friend, Stan, who was once on the fast track himself, to act as her coach through this tournament. Stan hasn't seen Ginny in over a year, and he isn't sure he is the one who can break her out of her slump, but he agrees to coach her.
When Ginny does return home, Stan finds himself sunk into confusion. He can't figure out what is wrong with her or how to help. Her attitudes toward tennis worry him. Even more worrisome for Stan are his feelings for Ginny. They grew up together and were always best friends. Now he feels more and more attracted to her, though. Does she share his feelings?
This book was very strange and parts of it were really funny. I liked reading the weird things Stan and Ginny were thinking. I also really liked the interaction Stan had with the little kids he coached, and I wish there had been more of that. I didn't like the end of the book at all, though. There was no real resolution. Ginny and Stan's relationship wasn't really defined, so I wasn't sure where they stood. Also, Stan did something at the end of the story that didn't seem at all true to his character and didn't have a good reason behind it.
Quite Amazing........2003-11-26
I was wondering around the library during my lunch for a change and when the library lady came to tell me to do something i quickly grabed a book from the shelf and it was this! IT WAS FATE I COULDENT PUT IT DOWN! Seriously if u havent read this book borrow it or but it or whatever JUST READ IT!
couldnt put it down.......2003-03-16
I was at the library one day when I found this book on the shelf. I first noticed the cover and then I noticed the title. It totally caught my attention and I thought it would be fun to read so I checked it out. It is SUCH a good book!!!... I could seriously not put it down. I just finished reading it today and take my word for it-this book is one of the best! I was into it the whole way through! ITS AWESOME!
This is my favorite book!!!.......2002-11-13
This is the greatest book EVER. I bought it because the title made me laugh, and I found out that the rest of the book was just as funny. This is the book that got me interested in tennis, and Im going to play on my school team next year because of it. I think that Stan seems like a very real teenage boy, and so does Ginny. My favorite character was Antonia Wheeler. Although, I did really like some minor characters like LeRoy Blankenship and the man in the bathroom. Id recomend this book to anyone.
One Day.........2001-11-23
One day I went to our school library and I noticed this book called The Whistling Toilets. I thought it was going to be some pathetic guy book where they just do stupid stuff, but this book had some major quality.
Stan is a 16 year old boy who coaches a tennis team. His best friend, Ginny (15) just came back from a tournament and Stan realizes he has feelings for her. Turns out he gets to coach her in a national tournament!! The book is REALLY funny, with some odd parts, especially the ending.
The Whistling Toilets will remain unknown!
