Golf Handbook

This is "the" source for a begining golfer. Foreget the mags, videos, instant fixs, etc. Study the book, take 5 lessons, practice ... save a lot of time getting up to speed

I used to shoot low 100's, now I shoot low 90's/high80's

I've been playing golf for about 3 years now. This book helped my golf game come together and I review it before I play or practice. It is like a pocket-size dictionary for golf. I even carry it in my golf bag in case I get into trouble on the course. If you want to start shooting lower scores, you must practice, practice, practice. This book will be a valuable guide to keep you focused. I read this book for the physical aspect of the game and Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect for the mental aspect.

The most concise explanation of the worlds most complex game

If you could only buy one book on golf this should be the one. This book is well-written with easy to understand illustrations and explanations. Perfect to get the beginner up and running or for the advanced golfer to get back on track. Every golfer should have a copy, I highly recommend it.

A must for all golfers

Easily the best golf guide I've ever read. As a horrible golfer myself, this guide helped improved my game incredibly. It contains everything from bad lines, history of the game, club types ... you name it. The only guide you'll ever need
