| | Customer Reviews: Help full book even for a dummy (17 May 2007)I have read several of the for dummies books and they have all been very good. But this one i thought was very good the author is quite funny which is refreshing, plus it really did improve my game. But another great place for golf advice and tips is www.advice4men.co.uk check it out help me a lot. A Decent Introduction For The Beginner (30 June 2006)As a relatively new golfer I found this book a good introduction to the game. The authors humour throughout makes the book comfortable reading. There were chapters I skipped (Top 10 woman golfers for instance) while others made great reading (rules of the game for instance). Some of the chapters about improving your play are chapters I'll come back to later. Overall a decent introduction to the game. 8/10. A big disappointment. (12 August 1999)I was expecting a book with good helpful tips for learning how to play this game. I tired of reading about all the tournaments the author had been in or who he knew in the golf world. Half the book was wasted on golf information that have no place in an instructional manual. Some factoids were interesting, most were trivia. A big disappointment--I would not recommend it to the beginning golfer. Most of the book is a waste of time. Full of 'Tips and Quips'. I just can't put it down. (21 June 1999)As someone who is new to golf I need all the help I can get. I found the text very informative and easy to follow. The author's sense of humour make the read all the more enjoyable and he certainly doesn't mind admitting his own mistakes as an aid to help others learn. Following the exercises and instructions in the book has helped me a lot and I can now hit the ball almost every time (getting it to go in the right place may take a little longer). The photos demonstrating the techniques are okay but would be better if they were perhaps in colour and some could be slightly larger (mind you this would probably put the cost up). Other than that I can't find any fault with the book at all. I would reccommend this book to anyone (I have already) who wishes to improve their game. It addresses all the areas I need to cover and keeps me laughing when my entire game is falling apart. | |
