Girls Club!

Right now my eight-year-old niece sees golf as a guys' sport. This book helped even the score a bit. Most of the book was about the basics - different clubs, the swing, terms - what you'd expect in a kid's book. Seeing all women and girls in the pictures helped her get over her feelings of isolation on the driving range. I liked the second half of the book where they gave short bios of past and current champions, especially younger stars like Michelle Wie. There was a section on further reading that gives us other resources to check up on. And the sections on Girls Golf (LPGA) and the Kids Golf (PGA) web sites were invaluable for getting us involved in other groups in the area that were unknown to us. So, a big thumbs up! She is eight - this was just the right age. I'd say this book was aimed at 8-12 year-olds. Anyone older than that will find this a quick read and may discard it. While it was a quick read for me, it was full of information leading to other books, web sites and resources which, to my mind, were as important (or, for me, more) than the specifics on golf.
