 Great starter book and useful reference August 7, 2002
Very clear and succinct (I love the way those Brits write!) Lots of great photos (especially of the "Do's" and "Don'ts") and terrific illustrations. Plus attention to more practical matters such as etiquette and course strategy.
 Great book for beginners November 5, 2000

Perphaps one of the better golf books designed for the beginning golfer. Easy to read.
 Well organized October 23, 2000

This book does have a nice presentation and is well organized. It is directed toward the beginning female golfer and makes for easy reading. That is the positive news. The negative is that the teaching theory is outdated. Like so many golf books for women it's swing theory - which there is very little of - is rather outdated. Unfortunately most women's golf books are not up to par on simple concepts, such as the source of power, the hand release etc. I have read only two books written by a female golf professional that were outstanding books for men or women. I will not mention these books because I do not believe it fair to push other books in a review. However, they are out there and available for good theoretical and instructional reading The bottom line, if you are a beginner this book is well organized but if you want substance you would be better fit to go elsewhere.
A Glossy Presentation w/ Some Teeth July 20, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Further efforts to find an updated, complimentary text for my golf-learning girlfriend led me to this pleasant offering. Nicely packaged, slick and glossy, it pictorially compliments more mechanical texts like Ben Hogan's Fundamentals. This book is well laid out, discussion of golf equipment is presented right off the bat. Grip, stance, posture follow in order. It reads like a collection of easy to follow magazine-style lessons. Interestingly, immediately following the basic structures they include information on shot shaping, dealing w/ pulls, pushes, fades, draws, etc. which may be overkill for that point in the instruction. Ultimately though it is quite a nice `guide', touching on golf etiquette thankfully, providing some interesting exercises, and running down oft used golf rules. Hopefully the presentation will score some points; seeing all the women in the examples, and hearing the voice of the female author versus some of the gender neutral or male dominated texts I've thrown at her. Ah golf!
Golf Handbook for Women June 18, 2000
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book gave me an excellent guide to start golf by providing detailed illustrations for each step, such as grib. Those illustrations help beginners to understand basic golf skills easily. Along with my golf lessons, this book gave me helpful tips to correct my mistakes. However, this illustration-oriented instruction may make advanced golfers feel lack of information for their levels. Anyhow, as a beginner, I loved this book, Golf Handbook for Women!
