Product Info Reviews

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Definitely not for beginners
Review: Although the cover and introduction made this book seem like it would be a good way to learn basics, reading it really was not a lot of help. The book repeatedly uses terms without defining them, and changes subjects with little transition. I feel no better prepared to learn golf than I did before I read this book.

Other gripes:
The book has Augusta National described as being in Atlanta, Georgia, instead of in Augusta, Georgia.
As the chapters wore on, it became a lot more about Gary Player and what Gary Player thought than about golf in general.

Summary: Really complete book with good eye for details and pictures
Review: This is a very good introduction to those starting up or those revisiting the basics, the pictures and the figures help a lot.

For the accomplished ones, there are lots of various drills to tryout, notes on how to vary the shots, covering the complete range and lots of excerises including some excellent stretches.

The details with which each aspect is covered including grips, clubs is very useful. The analysis of what happens when a shot goes wrong is also good.

A buy and read often instruction book
