The Golf Handbook: The Complete Guide to The Greatest Game

I am new to golf. Never had a lesson, never had the rules explained to me, never played a round. This book provides 3 valuable sections for the new golfer:1. A brief history and background of the game.2. Step-by-step, the basics of the swing. This section provides clear instruction, along with diagrams, pictures, and exercises, for developing a swing. The book goes beyond the basics, describing strategies, playing each club, playing different surfaces and conditions, and general tips for improving play.3. Rules and etiquette.I strongly recommend this to the golf beginner. It is a quick read that can be used as a reference as you are developing your game.

Good book for beginners

I purchased this book to help re-fresh my memory of the basics about playing golf. Well I was blown away when it finally arrived. This book covers almost everything you need to help you with the basic fundamentals of golf. And the step by step pictorials are great to. The book was purchased from Nye Discounts, inc In Venice, Florida. I am so happy I purchased it from them; I saved a lot on the purchase price and it was in excellent condition as well.I am definitely ordering from them again!They deserve more then 5 stars!

The book seems to be well written and I particularly like the pictures and diagrams showing you how to stand, hold your club, etc.

Read the section on driving and it straightened out my drive the first time I tried what I read.
