Tour Tempo is the first book in the 600 year old history of golf to accurately and quantitatively define exactly what Tempo in the Golf Swing means. It is the first book in the history of golf to include a CD-ROM that visually explains the concepts in the book and thru audio tracks enables the reader to integrate the Tempo of the Tour Pros into their own swings producing results unheard of in the game of golf.
As an avid golfer and inventor, John Novosel studied films of the PGA greats, searching, along with countless others over the last century, for the key to what made certain golfers' swings so effortless, artful, and effective. Viewing the films, Novosel made a startling discovery. Nearly every champion demonstrated identical timing in their swings. An extensive review of archival footage of the greats throughout confirmed his findings. From Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods, whether the swings were fast or slow, the winning rhythm remained constant.
In this breakthrough book, Novosel and Sports Illustrated writer John Garrity lay out exactly how to achieve this tour tempo. Enhanced with photographs and illustrations, this clear, step-by-step method teaches golfers how to resynchronize their swings and play like a pro. An accompanying CD-ROM vividly illustrates the full swing sequence and features a calibrated soundtrack that readers can use while practicing at a driving range or in their backyards.
In his new book, The Secret of Golf, George Peper - former editor-in-chief of Golf Magazine for 25 years, singled out Tour Tempo out as one of the 47 breakthroughs in golf instruction. He stated in the introduction to his book:
"The true heroes of this book are the unsung innovators…who spent their lifetimes thinking about and working towards a better way to play, then on one glorious day experienced a genuine Eureka moment. I'm referring to the likes of John Novosel and his discovery of Tour Tempo." And, "Golf's first twenty first century eureka occurred in the spring of 2000 when John Novosel discovered something he called Tour Tempo."
This great book to help you improve your swing accuracy can be a very good instructional guide and a perfect gift to those golf lovers.
Target readers:
All golf players and learners.

Tiger Woods... Greg Norman... Ben Hogan. What secret do these and nearly all golf legends share? Identical swing tempo.

This book includes a revolutionary instructional CD, featuring videos that illustrate exactly how to learn the tempo secrets of the tour pros, and a calibrated soundtrack that you can use while practicing at a driving range or in your living room.
As an avid golfer and inventor, John Novosel studied film footage of the PGA greats, searching, along with countless others over the last century, for the key to what made certain golfers’ swings so effortless and powerful.

Regardless of style or form, the winning tempo was always the same - Tour Tempo.
In this breakthrough book, Novosel and Sports Illustrated senior writer John Garrity explain exactly how to achieve Tour Tempo. Through clear, step-by-step instruction, golfers are taught how to master two basic drills to synchronize their swings. Novosel’s technique has yielded rapid and tremendous improvement for players of every level-adding distance, automatically correcting typical swing problems, and noticeably shaving strokes off one’s game.

I have been playing golf for 50 years and during that span of time I have had over 200 private lessons and attended four national golf schools, but I have not found anything that gets results like the Tour Tempo system. I had a 20-year problem of "coming over the top" and pulling my shots. With John Novosel’s system, I cured that 20-year problem and am finally hitting the ball consistently straight! |

After working with John Novosel for only one hour, my swing speed went from 84 mph to 104 mph. My drives on the course started going 40 yards farther; my dad couldn’t believe it, I was out-driving him by 20 yards!” |

Before I met John Novosel, everything I did just added more thoughts to my swing - and the more thoughts I added, the worse the results I got. What I like about his program is that it reduces the swing thoughts while increasing the results. Within one week after starting with John, I increased my clubhead speed by 20 mph and started hitting the best shots of my life. It’s just made a monstrous difference in my game! |

I am 48 years old and have been playing golf since I was 40 years old. I have taken lessons from 2 different golf pro's. I have many books on golf, The 7 Laws of the Golf Swing, How I play golf, Perfect Impact books and videos, Gravity Golf book and videos, Swing like a Pro, The Nine Bad Shots of Golf and What to Do about Them, Little Red Book, Power Golf and so on. I love playing golf and I am not a bad player. I play the ball where it lies, I never ever massage my ball around and say "Winter Rules". I've played golf in Hawaii, Minnesota, Florida, California, New Mexico, Mazatlan. I score in the mid 80's. Shot 76 once, I drive the ball about 205 to 215 yards. I know that a lot of people say it that all? But most people don't drive the ball very far. If you ever get the chance to see a PGA golf tournament in person, you will see just how far 300 yard drives are. Well now let me get to the Tour Tempo book... I read the whole book, then went to the driving range with my portable CD player with the Tempo CD. I listened to the beeps and worked on my swing just like the book says to do. The results are simply amazing. I usually hit my pitching wedge 100 yards to a mound that is 100 yards away. I warmed up with my old tempo and was landing my ball right on the mound, no problem. Then I plugged in the CD and started my new tempo. I was flying the ball straight over the mound, it was so easy to do. I was now hitting my pitching wedge 125 yards. I own a Sky Caddie which uses a GPS signal to measure your exact yardage. Well remember I said I use to drive my ball 205-215 yards? And yes I used the Sky Caddie to record that... Well not anymore!! I went out last weekend and was driving the ball 265-275 yards. And those measurements were on flat fairways no wind. My golf buddies are saying WOW you are killing it. They looked at my clubs, they looked at the ball, they couldn't figure it out. This is by far the best book on golf that I've ever come across. If you want to smoke it past your playing partners, reach par 5's in two. This book is the ticket. I am not going to tell my golf buddies about this book because I my kicking their tails and winning is GOOD! |
