More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Throughout her teaching career, Kellie Stenzel has been continually asked to recommend a beginning golf instruction book for her female students to read. She researched the market and found nothing suitable--most books are too technical for the beginner and assume that the reader already has some familiarity with the game. This became the inspiration for "The Women's Guide to Golf, " a well-crafted and easy-to-understand golf instructional for women who are new to the game.
Each section of the book provides a complete explanation of the skills needed to play golf. Ideas are presented in a clear and simple manner--golf lingo is translated into every-day English whenever possible so the reader can easily understand. Since students must have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish before they can learn, Kellie Stenzel starts at the very beginning and gives detailed explanations of basic concepts. For example, she explains what a putter looks like, what a putting green looks like, and what the goal of putting is, before teaching the reader how to putt. In addition, since women's learning style is very different from men's, this book also addresses specific women's issues, such as posture and lack of distance.
This book includes
- a thorough explanation of the game
- easy-to-understand instructions
- suggestions on how to avoid embarrassment as a beginner
- simple ways to remember what you've read
- great anecdotes from the author's experiences as a golfer and a teacher
- over 75 black-and-white photos
"The Women's Guide to Golf" is one of the most accessible and comprehensive golf instructionals ever written for women--it is the perfect book for any woman who wants to learn the game.

Excellent. Clear and easy to follow text and photos. Easy to read and/or use for reference.
Good sections on "Where did I go wrong". I started golf only 6mths ago, and find it an essential bit of kit. I continually refer to it, specially just before and after every practice session.

Format:Paperback
Having just started golf, I have looked at many golf books & this by far is the best. Everything is in plain english & just so easy to follow. It's not thick & bulky unlike some books where you just feel "bogged down" with it's content. I use it as my little bible now! It's great having a golfing book for women - I would definately recommend it.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

I bought this book over a year ago and like other people who have written a review, I use it as my Bible. Don't be put off by the photos being in black and white, the content of the writing is well worth taking note. I've had quite a few lessons (all with men!) but now when I have problems I refer to the book. Good Luck!

Very useful
I am a golfer and I was interested to read this book after reading raving reviews on line. It is user friendly, does not waffle and does not focus on becoming the best golf player... Read more
