Review: ... Debbie approaches golf instruction from a fun, novel way that hooked my wife into reading her first golf book. She was so excited that we spent the holidays swinging clubs and planning our next trip south to try out Debbie's techniques. The boob factor was my wife's favorite section! If you have a female golf enthusiast in the family, I give this book a two thumbs up as the perfect gift.

Summary: Leary of the instruction
Review: After 15 years of playing golf i have been troubled by just about every bad habit imaginable. However, the most disturbing one was the use of my hips during the golf swing.This book advocates using the hips as a power source. It also insinuates that using the hips is some sort of new idea. Please listen to me. I was taught this same info 15 years ago and it does not work. I was taught that as a woman, our hips are wider and in order to hit a long ball the hips must be very active in the swing. All this did was lead to me casting the club and spinning out on the downswing. Using the hips is not new theory. It is an old theory thrown away years ago. Read David leadbetter or Dave Pelz or any of golf's gurus and they will tell you this is bunk. It took me years to straighten out my timing and undo the damage that this type of teaching does. The author equates using our hips to using our womb power... Oh Please! A pro once said that it amazed them that women ever learned the golf swing with all the bunk that they are taught. This book contains that bunk. Good Luck

Review: I really liked this book. I have had both individual and private lessons...from men...and I still had problems with hitting the balls thin, fat, or worse yet...not at all. After reading this book, I am consistently making contact with the ball. It is easy to read, the tips are easy to apply...and after reading it...I took 6 strokes off right from the start. My swing "feels" easier and I am looking forward to improving my game even more. I liked it...and I have read more golf instruction books than I care to remember. For beginners and intermediate players...this is a "keeper."

Summary: thank you!
Review: This book addresses an oft-forgotten sector of contemporary golf: women. Although women players are no doubt a decisive force within the sport, a training and development book of this kind--for women, by women--has heretofore been lacking. Ms. Steinbach's book (clearly addressed, with witty prose, by her co-author Kathlene Bissell) provides insight and tips to the female golfer that all will find relevant to the development of their (her!) own game. For all those who have wondered "how does this apply to me?," please find here an irreverent yet completely honest approach to a wonderful sport with the female golfer in mind (yes, it does work differently for you! and BTW, it's OK!). A treat by any standards, 'Venus on the Fairway' presents an astute, and insightful, approach that is sure to help all women golfers as they seek to get beyond the club pro lessons. Great!

Summary: Simply Put.....
Review: This book took 10 strokes off my game. After reading this book, I came to realize why the lessons & practice I labored over did not show much game improvement. That is because those lessons were designed for a male physique. After reading Debbie's book and incorporating her strategies and methods into my game, my game showed significant improvement. Thanks Debbie for taking female golf instruction to a "unique" level.
