Summary: A Good Reference Book for Beginners.
Review: While nothing will replace a series of lessons from a competent teaching pro, this book can be a useful supplement for those of us who need to have something tangible to refer back to, in between lessons and rounds. The pictures are detailed and are particularly nice with regard to giving the reader a sequential view of different shots from different angles. Some of the theory behind different shots is also presented, but not in an overly wordy or technical manner. As a novice woman golfer, I refer to this book fairly frequently, as it has given me a better understanding of my particular swing mechanics without inundating me with a lot of physics. I found the discourse on grip particularly helpful. There are also some nice side-bar comments and tips sprinkled throughout the book, which can be useful. I found this book to be well-written, without cute language and/or negative attitudes about male golfers. Thanks, Judy.
