Customer Reviews

Starts right, and it goes further right? Try this book!

Frustrated at the range one day, a stranger gave me this book to look through. Simple illustrations of my shot shape had me trying quick fixes to cure what had been a consistent problem for me over the years. Wanting more, I purchased the book, and read further to understand what more I could about the causes of my specific swing fault. Armed with this new information, my range practice time is better spent, and I am becoming a better golfer. Now a 12, I look forward to playing in single digits soon. I strongly recommend this book to people who are truly interested in improving their game through quality practice.

One of the Best

This book has helped me tremendously (I'm a 12 handicap) and one of my friends borrowed it and was very impressed, and he's a 4. Just as the author says in the introduction, many of the concepts in this book have been written elsewhere-just like every other golf book I've read-but the way it's presented here is entirely unique. This book is unlike any other golf instruction book I've seen: among other things, it doesn't present one method, but instead includes many options to help us into the correct positions. Would you rather read a book that tries to get you to swing exactly like some superstar on TV, or this one that has different techniques (and they really work!) from many of the best golfers and teachers in the world, including in my opinion this author? This way you can try them all and find the best one suited for your body type, level of experience, learning style, etc.

Great Book!

Finally, I now have a book to help me at the range--while I'm hitting the ball sideways. And Home on the Range covers much more, like buying clubs, how to get more power into my shots, practice strategies, how to make the most of lessons and teachers--all in a simple and straightforward way. Of the many instruction books I've read, this is the one that will have the most lasting effect on my game

A quick fix for any problem in your game.

If I'm slicing, I can look it up in the book and find at least three things that might be causing it. If my chipping is off, I can find out how to build better aim. This book is great, with lots of little things to work on while practicing. For once, someone to tell me how to LEARN the game, not just master it
