John Novosel’s Tour Tempo, published by Doubleday in 2004, was an instant classic. Its central argument — that tempo, the most important fundamental of the golf swing, can be learned quickly and easily without expensive lessons or exhaustive practice — is now accepted by swing coaches at every level of the game. But Tour Tempo, now in its 11th printing, covered only the full-swing shots. Now Team Novosel is back with a sequel devoted to the short game — the putts, chips and greenside pitches that make up the majority of strokes played in a round of golf. Tour Tempo 2: The Short Game & Beyond employs color photography, video tutorials, and the now-famous Tour Tempo Training Tones, but its core is a lively and lucid 55,000-word text by Novosel and Sports Illustrated’s John Garrity. In Tour Tempo 2, Novosel offers scientific proof that tour players putt, chip and blast from bunkers with a consistent 2-to-1 elapsed-time ratio of backswing to forward swing. Amateurs, however, display no such consistency; they jab at the ball with arrhythmic strokes that produce skulls, shanks and “fat” shots. But now, simply by practicing to Novosel’s short-game tones, the weekend golfer can master the correct rhythm in minutes. Got the dreaded “yips” with your putter or chipping club? TT2 has the cure. Can’t hit those little knockdown shots from 40 to 60 yards? TT2 gives you the feel for the tournament player’s favorite stroke saver. Terrified of greenside bunker shots? TT2 reveals the tempo secret that makes sand play so easy for tour pros. Tour Tempo 2 is more than a short-game tutorial. The full swing is explored in several chapters that pick up where the first book left off, providing deeper understanding of the underlying principles and the changing paradigms of golf instruction. Then the Novosels dish about Tiger, Phil, Yani, et.al. in a section called “The Pro-Spective on Tempo.” Each section includes a sampling of reader FAQs, and there are two chapters of “Little Red Book,” in which the inventor and his oldest son bolster their data with anecdotes culled from six years as tempo consultants to golfers of all abilities.

In this engaging and spirited book, eminent social psychologist Robert Levine asks us to explore a dimension of our experience that we take for granted—our perception of time. When we travel to a different country, or even a different city in the United States, we assume that a certain amount of cultural adjustment will be required, whether it's getting used to new food or negotiating a foreign language, adapting to a different standard of living or another currency. In fact, what contributes most to our sense of disorientation is having to adapt to another culture's sense of time.Levine, who has devoted his career to studying time and the pace of life, takes us on an enchanting tour of time through the ages and around the world. As he recounts his unique experiences with humor and deep insight, we travel with him to Brazil, where to be three hours late is perfectly acceptable, and to Japan, where he finds a sense of the long-term that is unheard of in the West. We visit communities in the United States and find that population size affects the pace of life—and even the pace of walking. We travel back in time to ancient Greece to examine early clocks and sundials, then move forward through the centuries to the beginnings of ”clock time” during the Industrial Revolution. We learn that there are places in the world today where people still live according to ”nature time,” the rhythm of the sun and the seasons, and ”event time,” the structuring of time around happenings(when you want to make a late appointment in Burundi, you say, ”I'll see you when the cows come in”).Levine raises some fascinating questions. How do we use our time? Are we being ruled by the clock? What is this doing to our cities? To our relationships? To our own bodies and psyches? Are there decisions we have made without conscious choice? Alternative tempos we might prefer? Perhaps, Levine argues, our goal should be to try to live in a ”multitemporal” society, one in which we learn to move back and forth among nature time, event time, and clock time. In other words, each of us must chart our own geography of time. If we can do that, we will have achieved temporal prosperity.
