Summary: C'est "LE" livre qu'il vous faut
Review: J'enseigne le golf depuis 7 ans à Québec et c'est de loin le meilleur livre de golf parlant des aspects techniques du golf. Dailleur, ce livre est un outil pédagogique obligatoire au Département d'Éducatin Physique de l'Université Laval à Québec à la formation des instructeurs de golf.
Je recommande ce livre à tout mes élèves depuis mes débuts en enseignement du golf. Ce livre est fait simplement et clairement. Il parle des différentes techniques à utiliser en fonction de la situation de jeu dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. Il y a aussi un petit chapitre intéressant sur le "course management" que tous les golfeurs auraient sérieusement avantage à consulter avant de se lancer sur un terrain de golf. La description des techniques de bases est faite de façon simple, claire et précise sans le jargon populaire de golf des professionnels. C'est un bon compromis si vous ne trouvez pas un professeur de golf qui sait répondre à vos attentes.

Summary: Lot's of Good Info but...
Review: much of the information I have heard before. If you haven't read many golf books this is a great one to start with. It is full of great suggestions from A-Z. For something a little more unique you might also check out Par Golf by Schnackenberg.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for visualizing the swing mechanics
Review: What I liked most about this book was that it covered things like etiquette and some of the history of golf. Two areas that I think are ignored these days. Also, there are plenty of drills and every page is literally packed with illustrations that will help beginners quite a bit. The drawback to this book is that there are times where Campbell ends a section and I felt there were several other points to be made about that particular subject. But, overall, I think it is an excellent book for helping beginners visualize the swing and be exposed to the many different techniques used by the pros, but not as helpful for more experienced golfers.

I tend to judge the worth of a golf instruction book based on how many times I mentally refer to it during a practice session or in a round. After reading tons of golf books, I really never found myself referring to anything in this book I hadn't already been exposed to elsewhere. But if you're just starting out, this is a great place to start. Especially for the price.
