About the Book

This is a fundamental golf book for beginners who want to be comfortable on the course. According to the National Golf Foundation, 41 percent of golfers have an average score of 100 or above for 18 holes. While there are countless books to help good golfers get even better, there are few books for these "pleasure" golfers who simply want to have fun and not embarrass themselves. Instead of laborious text loaded with theory and tech talk, this guide contains hundreds of color photos that demonstrate golf's fundamentals alongside clear explanations.Photo by photo and step by step, this book covers: key basics like grip, stance, and swing; the different shots, including driving, chipping, putting, and sand shots; problem-solving for issues like slicing, hooking, and topping; and, the rules and etiquette of this complex game. This must-have book will help both beginners and veteran duffers progress from putt-putt to two-putts and from slices to somewhere-in-the-fairway.Cheryl Anderson (Stamford, CT) is the director of instruction at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, New York.
