Golf Fore Beginners: The Fundamentals

Rating:
Summary: For duffers and others
Review: Initially, I signed up for a series of introductory golf lessons at a local course. The instructor was twenty-five years my junior, and insisted on making comparisons between golf and tennis, a sport about which he knew nothing and I knew a lot. I realized that a book was mandatory.

After ordering almost every beginner's golf book in the Seattle Public Library system (and finding most of limited use), I happened upon Golf Fore Beginners, and learned more in an hour than I did in several hours of lessons. Clear instructions about exactly how to grip, swing, follow through, etc. are accompanied by excellent illustrations.

This book is a must for any beginning golfer or for someone who has been playing for a while and has run into difficulties. Careful reading and diligent application of the principles clearly explained in Rutherford's Golf Fore Beginners should result in a significant improvement in play.
