A must have for the new golfer

I took up golf at 60, never swung a club in my life, and this was the first book I stumbled opon. On my first day out I was whacking drives as well as my experienced golf buddy. (Okay, not all of them, but a lot!) Playing twice a week I can keep up with him on many holes. (Okay, my putting still stinks, but still...) The book covers everything the beginning addict, er, golfer needs. From gear to rules, grip to stance, problem corrections, and even some advanced techniques. I'm not a visual person, but the photos are so clear and so simple, that even I can "get it." The author doesn't overwhelm you like some other experts do. It's just the basics. But if you read and absorb what's in there, you'll be amazed at how well you'll do! Don't even think of buying a book from a "name" until you've mastered this one - seriously, it's that good. This book taught me to play golf. If you're new to the game, get it, read it, reread it, and reread it some more. No brainer - 5 stars
