Summary: This book has been magic to my game.
Review: The day I received The Little Red Book the magic began. I never thought that I could still improve my game at the age of 53. But from a weekly average score of 92 for a long time and suddenly drops to a 76 (3 rounds already)then it must be magic. The book is so easy to read and the "tips" are so easy to understand and follow. Anybody who has the time to practice the "tips" of Mr. Penick will surely improve his game tremendously.Now I understand why Mr. Penick is considered one of the greatest (if not the greatest) golf teachers who ever lived. To me the "Little Red Book" is magic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read classic.
Review: There's much to like about Penick's home spun golf wisdom. This is a book you will read over and over again. Formatted to allow you to bite off as much or as little as you need. Penick teaches in parables and metaphors that stay with you on the course. A true sports classic

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Everything you need to know
Review: This book covers everything you need to know to improve your game. Mr. Pennick's insights are quick and concise. This is ibe of the best instructional books I have ever read. The only advice I have to give is to take one tip at a time. Pick one thing to work on, when you feel you have achieved what Mr. Pennick said, then move on to something new. The tips are also sprinkled with tales of yesteryear and legends of the game. It is difficult to read this without wanting to put the book down and try each tip as it comes along, I would say read the book once, then go back and work on the things that made hte most sense to you.

Summary: Classic golf instruction book
Review: This book has wonderful insights on golf technique and has some good philosophy on golf. It is entertaining and fun to read and has good golf instruction. Penick was a great teacher. If you want a great book on improving at golf at a much quicker rate, get Patrick Leonardi's book----The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better. The isbn for this book is 1933023090. Leonardi's book is the only book about golf instruction that I've read that actually helped me improve at such a fast rate. I've been stuck at a 12 handicap for years. After reading The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide two months ago, I now play to a 6 handicap. I also notice now the more I practice, the more my scores keep getting better. I can't say that about any other golf instruction book I tried.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic book on a life in golf and learning the game.
Review: This book is a classic, and should be on every golfer's shelf. Penick uses simple metaphors for how the swing should feel to teach in a simple yet incredibly effective manner. His instruction on bunker/sand shots alone is worth the cost of the book. You will not be dissapointed with this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful adventure for anyone involved with golf.
Review: This book is a wondeful adventure for anyone involved with golf. There is a rare personal quality to the stories that warms one's heart. Harvey's anecdotes are simply a joy to read. This book is wondeful for all levels of ability: from beginner to seasoned pro. Harvey gives sound advice that can shave strokes from your game immediately (I broke into the seventies within months of reading it). One of the classics of golf literature. Bryan McDonald, Apple Computer, 7 handicap.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful little book...
Review: What a great read this little book is for us golf lovers. But in terms of "instruction" you may find it a bit thin. Speaking in parables at times, the message at the end of each little chapter is not as good as the story. Buy the book for the great read that it is !!! Just don't expect game altering advice.

Summary: One of the greatest books ever written on golf
Review: Yes....that's right....I said it is one of the greatest books ever written on golf and I stand by that....I first read it years ago, and ya know when I read it most recently? Last week! My golf game was struggling...anyone who plays knows there is so much technical jargon to think about, and once all these thoughts enter your head, you're done for! That's where the legend Mr. Penick comes in. Forget about rotating this part of your body 90 degress and your ankle must be at a 32 degree angle and so forth....Take dead aim! Get the negativity out of your head, remember a few SIMPLE methods to hit the ball, and as Taylor Made once advertised, Find Your Game! My game was gone...I was hopeless and didn't know what to do with myself....I saw the book on my shelf, read it (very easy read), and my next opponent better be ready! If you love golf, and you wanna read a book that just makes sense (and provides a lot of inspiration) this book is highly recommended. A man's entire life experience with the game he loved is in this book...treat it with respect...heed the words....and the next putt you drop you might find yourself looking up at the heavens saying "thank you Harvey!"
