Summary: Keep up with your boyfriend/husband with this book!
Review: I was tired of being left behind while my boyfriend hit the green with his buddies, so I picked up the KISS Guide to Golf and learned to play! The author, Steve Duno, did a terrific job of guiding me through the basic rules and postures of the game in a step-by-step format that was really easy -- I learned more in these 400 pages than I have in years of hanging around experienced golfers! Thanks!

Summary: For Golf Lovers or those new to the game..
Review: My husband's brother just gave him a whole set of clubs and while he has been playing golf now and then, he wanted to know more about the rules of golf. If we had to choose one book, this would be it. It is comprehensive and filled with colorful pictures.If you are just learning to play golf this KISS guide will give you all the information you need. To get started, you need to find a course and choose the right equipment for your game. There are specialty shots for difficult situations, various clubs to select and basic rules and etiquette to follow. Golf is a sociable sport that allows people of all ages to compete with the intention of achieving their personal best. If you have been playing golf for some time, this guide will help you to sort out those nagging problems that are holding you back from your perfect game. Chapter 15-24 will be of interest to experienced golfers. If you are having trouble with direction or distance there is a solution. Learn how to play in stormy weather or enhance your accuracy. The next step might be competing with other players in a tournament. After an inspirational foreword by Colin Montgomerie, you will enjoy reading about the history of the game, how and where the game is played, the basic rules, why it is the last friendly game and how and why a golf ball flies. So, what equipment will you need? How can you get the perfect golf grip, what are the basics of a good swing and how do you master the basics of putting? The Internet also offers countless sites and there are quite a few Web sites listed. A glossary explains all the golf terms like Ace, Bunker, Collar, Flex, Hosel, Lie, Splash, Wristy and Yips. The Index will save you time if you want to look up specific details of the game. If I had to choose one golf book, this would be it! ~...

Summary: Steve Duno's Guide to Playing Golf
Review: Purchased this book approximately five (5) weeks ago. My scoring WAS in the low 90's and is NOW in the mid 80's. Taking 6-7 strokes off my game contributed to by this book? Let me put it this way: It took 15 years to take 10 strokes off previous to reading it along with endless tapes and subscriptions to magazines. This book is not only simple and down to earth in it's examples, but down right whimsical. Thanks to Duno and his fine and fun book, I have the fire back.

Summary: New to golf? Buy this book first.
Review: This is an excellent book for beginners. It covers almost all aspects of the game. It has color photos as opposed to diagrams in other books. It has an excellent chapter on fixing common flaws. I just started playing a few weeks ago and this book really accelerated my learning. The only negative about this book, besides the fact that I couldn't put it down, is that it only has a handfull of drills. If you're looking for a book of drills, this is not the choice. Still, this is a great book well worthy of five stars and a steal at $14.00.

Summary: Excellent Beginners Book
Review: When I wanted to get started with golf I picked up this book. Easy to understand, with simple instructions and explanations. It also has the clearest overview of the basic rules of the game that I've seen. Even the hardest part of any book on golf, the swing, is covered pretty well - I at least have the intellectual knowlege now to on swinging the club. Great book.
