How to Drop Five Strokes Without Having One

Finding More Enjoyment in Senior Golf

By: John D. Drake

Ten years ago I could easily have cleared that pond. Im okay until about the fourteenth hole; then I can feel myself getting tired. Ive had to shorten my backswing; otherwise, my old back will keep me up all night. Sound familiar? As much as we may hate to admit it, at sixty-plus were different from younger golfers both physically and mentally. While this isnt necessarily bad, it does impact how we play. In How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One, author Dr. John D. Drake explains how awareness of these changes can allow us to adapt; we can still lower our scores and get more fun from our favorite pastime. Drake offers specific techniques and strategies geared toward seniors that can be readily adapted to every facet of your golf gametee box, fairway, bunker, and green. How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One provides not only easy-to-apply suggestions for lower golf scores, but also tips on how to reduce anxiety and tension. With photos included, How to Drop Five Strokes without Having One helps solve the unique problems encountered by aging golfers and helps you lower your handicap while enjoying the game.

Practical PostgreSQL

By: Joshua D. Drake,John C. Worsley

Arguably the most capable of all the open source databases, PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system that--until now--lacked comprehensive, easy-to-use documentation. Practical PostgreSQL is a fast-paced guide that shows you how to get PostgreSQL installed, configured, and running. This comprehensive book delves into the many advanced features of the PostgreSQL Application Server, LXP, including the the use of SQL within PostgreSQL, and covers basic PostgreSQL database administration.

New Blue

By: John D. Drake,Kevin C. Kozak

From an early age, Jeremiah Krone had a strong sense of right and wrong and of justice. In the fifth grade, he stood up against, Buzz, the class bully. When Krone graduates from high school, he applies to the police academy, is accepted, and graduates. But his first call as a young police officer fresh out of the academy is a shock. And it’s what’s missing that holds the answers to the crime. Thrust into the world of police work, Krone navigates his way through his rookie year. He balances a budding love relationship with his drive to succeed as an officer in this coming-of-age tale. Praise for New Blue “Author John Drake has done it again. This time, a novel of a young police officer learning the ropes of his trade in a beach town in North Florida. The wacky escapades cops see in the course of duty is material enough for a book. With an enjoyable writing style, the authors introduce youthful innocence to the mix and masterfully produce a compelling story. I hope we see more of young Officer Jerry.” —James H.K. Bruner, Author, the Bike Cop Trilogy “Provides a realistic introduction to young people considering police work. A true rookie-eye view, from getting chewed out and nearly washed out, to persevering and succeeding. The path this new blue takes is honest and believable; it effectively shows the diverse nature of this amazing job.” —Chief James T. Hurley, Fernandina Beach (Florida) Police Department
