Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is the golfer's Gospel.
Review: If only all How-To books could be as fun and informative to read as this classic. Filled with superb tips often illustrated by short stories about great and not-so-great players, I found that this book not only helped me drop five strokes off my game immediately, it did so in a format that's a lot of fun -- I couldn't put this book down. Now, if I could only find the time to put his tips into practice

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too much fluff, not enough substance
Review: If you are interested in reading all about who Penick knows, who he taught, and who he has met them by all means, buy this book. If you are looking for clear, concise direction on how to improve your game, get Ben Hogan's Five Lessons book. The little red book is full of every name Penick could drop, but severly lacks in the help department. Sure, there are a few helpful tips, but they would barely fill up a brochure let alone an entire book. Bottom line; a slightly entertaining read, but not all that helpful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's All You Need -- Give your other golf books away
Review: If you've played golf for a while and are always loooking for improvements, your mind can become over-cluttered from reading instructions from magazines and books, not to mention tips from your Saturday buddies. Give all that away. Buy the Little Red Book. Read and enjoy. Then read and study. Study again and again. It is pure health for your mind and game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining and helpful
Review: Maybe it's a coincidence, but I lost 10 strokes off my game during the week I read this book and put it into my practice routine. If you will actually practice the drills in this book your game will improve. If nothing else, it's entertaining reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read for every golfer
Review: Mr. Penick shares a lifetime of golf wisdom in this easy to read and timeless classic. Every golfer should have this book in their library.

His humble style and sincere desire that every golfer improve (and most importantly, have fun) make this book helpful for golfers at all levels of playing ability.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the only golf book you'll ever need!
Review: Need I say more? I don't think so, but I will say one more thing... read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review of the Little Red book
Review: One of Mr. Penick's best. Really enjoyed this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How to become a seasoned golfer
Review: One thing mid to high handicappers such as myself notice about better golfers is how much knowledge of, and feel for, the game they have. This book will increase your knowledege and feel immensely. The result is a better additude toward the game and more confidence, which can only result in better scores.

There is plenty of technical help as well with chapters on grip, "the magic move," chipping, club selection, etc. If there's anything thats bothering your game, such as too strong of a grip, you may well discover what it is while reading this book. But more than anything, you will be a more savvy golfer with a renewed additude.

Hit 'em straight

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book
Review: Reading this book is like talking to a professional. The answers you need are right there. I read alot about golf as it has become my passion in the past year. This book is amazing. Harvey brings the game to life and makes it easy to understand. He explains so many aspects of the game that it is amazing it is a "Little Red Book" and not a Huge Red Book. Definately worth reading for any golf enthusiast.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is about the greatest golf teacher ever.
Review: The book I had just read could be considered a novel but is more ani instructional-novel on one of the greatest golf teachers who ever lived. The man's name is Harvey Penick. The book he wrote is called;"Harvey Penickcs Little Red Book." The main theme of the story is mmainly to tell about the golfing and teaching life of Harvey Penick. Harvey Penick had a little red book where he would write down the notes on what is changing or progressing in a students golf game. Harvey would also write down his golf tips in his book. Harvey had a series of books. This bok is one of many books he wrote. Harvey Penick wrote another book called,"The Game For a Lifetime." That book he could not complete because he passed away before he could. Tom Kite one of his best friends took over and finished the book for him. He just used the knowledge he had gained from Mr. Penick. I couldn't tell you the whole story because alot of it is on the teaching of golf. What I can tell you are the little things such as, Harvey had a son named Tinsley, and a wife named Helen. Harvey was born in Austin,Texas.Harvey was the head pro at the Austin Country Club. He worked there until 1975 and held the job for fifty years. After that his son had taken over his position.Harvey, after he retired, decided to hang around the country club and teach whoever wanted to be taught about golf. I don't want to give away all the aspects about Harvey Penick. If you would like to know more on this amazing man you'll have to read his book for yourself. The book is only about 180 pages long. I would definitly say this is one of the best books I have ever read.Iliked because I got so much out of it. This book helped me a lot with my golf gaame and taught me about one of the greartest teachers ever. I would definitly recommend this book to others. The only thing is, if you don't play golf or have nothing to do with golf you might not enjoy it.
