The most complete guide to improving performance in the three most critical areas of your gameThe best players in the world do three things very well: They put the ball in the fairway off the tee, they make the putts they should (and almost never three putt), and get the ball into tap-in range when hitting short shots around the green after an errant approach. These are the key areas to scoring, giving you both the opportunity to make more birdies and keeping big numbers off your scorecard.GOLF Magazine's top-selling Best Ever! series of instruction manuals have individually covered these areas in the past, but never all at once. Now offered as a special three-volume compilation of award-winning instruction from the Top 100 Teachers in America, The Best Instruction Collection Ever! gives you everything you need to drop your handicap in a single set, with nearly 600 pages-and thousands of tips and drills-to take your driving, putting and short game to exciting new levels.The Best Instruction Collection Ever! includes GOLF Magazine's newest title, The Best Driving Instruction Book Ever!, plus it's game-changing The Best Putting Instruction Book Ever! and The Best Short Game Instruction Book Ever! in a specially bound anthology of expert advice from the most sought-after instructors in the game. Three bonus DVDs featuring video lessons that support the book lessons also are included, making the collection golf's most complete guide to improving your game in the three key scoring areas.The Best Instruction Collection Ever!, like all of the magazine's lesson manuals, is backed by decades of experience and the award-winning instruction you can only find in GOLF Magazine. It's the only reference golfers who are serious about improving will ever need, and the fastest way to save strokes and make the game easy.

Did the Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia survive the slaughter of her family, and did Amelia Earhart perhaps survive her famous flight across the Pacific? Where did the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson go when she vanished in May of 1926, and where did the mystery writer Agatha Christie disappear to later that same year? Was Napoleon in fact murdered, and might the same fate have befallen Dag Hammarskjold? Where's all the loot from the Great Train Robbery, not to mention all the spoils that were stashed away by the notorious gangster Dutch Schultz? Did two other mountain climbers reach the summit of Mount Everest before Sir Edmund Hillary, and did a French airplane cross the Atlantic just before Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis? Who was Jack the Ripper, and who was the Axman of New Orleans? All of these questions will be asked anew (and some of them will finally be answered) in the pages of this intoxicating new LIFE book. Here are no fewer than 50 cases from the files, each more baffling than the last. The famous folks are here--from Edgar Allan Poe to Jim Morrison to JonBenet Ramsey--as are equally compelling stories involving people who you have yet to meet. LIFE's editors have unearthed more than a few obscurities for your entertainment. Entertainment? Indeed. As these editors point out in their introductions: "There is something in human nature that draws up to the mysterious. We seek conclusions--but not really. We want answers but are entertained when they prove elusive. A mystery fascinates us, intrigues us, beguiles us. In its uncertainty, it has a softness and a sense of wonder that a solved, buttoned-down case lacks. An unsolved mystery can be romantic." Enter, then, into the romance of The Greatest Unsolved Mysteries of All Time. Puzzle out the possible solutions to these narratives and delight in the extraordinary photographs. Riveting stories and great photography: just what you would expect from LIFE, and the only aspect of this book that is not at all mysterious.
