More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Golf is a game in which even the experienced player can reap the benefits from expert instruction. Covering every possible aspect of developing a repeatable, effective golf swing, Steve Newell's "The Golf Instruction Manual" works systematically through every type of shot - from tee shots, iron play, pitching and chipping to coping with bunkers and putting. Each section includes a test to establish your level of ability and provides a series of progressive excercises designed to develop your technique. A section on the 10 most common faults that can creep into your game shows you how to fix them quickly and efficiently. Beyond striking the ball, the books also shows you routines to help you think more decisively on the coure and deal with high-pressured situations. An invaluable reference section advises you on buying equipment, guides you through all-important golf etiquette, clearly explains golf's most important rules, and defines all the key terms used by golfers.

Format:Hardcover
After looking at numerous books on golf technique, this is probably the best available at the price.
There are numerous colour photo's to illustrate exactly what the author is describing. Everything from the basic stance and grip to advanced subjects such as pushing/pulling the ball and altering the shape of your shot to avoid obstacles.
Each chapter in the book covers a different area of the game e.g. iron shots, tee shots, etc. At the start of each chapter there is an evaluation test that helps to determine your level of play. Once this has been established you have a choice of reading the beginner, intermediate or advanced sections of that particular chapter. There are plenty of practise exercises available to improve your game play and tips on how to correct faults.
As a newcomer to the game I have found this book invaluable.

Format:Hardcover
As a complete beginner to the game of golf, I found this book very useful. The numerous illustrations and annotations really help to give an impression of what should be happening and when. The explanations are provided in plain English and are easy to understand and thorough.
The book is clearly split into sections for players with different abilities and it is easy to determine which section you should be looking at by taking the tests as outlined at the beginning of each chapter. Looking at the sections for more advanced players I think there will be a great deal to keep me going here for some time.
I bought the book as a tool to help me prepare for my first golf lesson. It has served its purpose very well.
I feel it really is a good substitute for a video, and is more accessible (eg you can take it to the driving range). Thoroughly recommended for a beginner and probably just as good for an improver.
