Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemon wedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by US TV commentator Gary McCord, one of the American game's most colourful--and knowledgeable--characters. It's a wonderful, often hilarious, never boring introduction to the game. Don't let the foreword by Kevin Costner or the afterword by Hootie and the Blowfish confuse the issue; this is a terrifically sound, easy-to-follow primer. McCord's crisp drill--yes, crisp drill--will revolutionise your swing, and your thinking, with overtones that could spill directly into off-the-course existence, as well. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Introduction For The Beginner, 29 Jun 2006

By	Scottish Dave (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Golf For Dummies - UK Edition (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book makes you want to "Just do it"!, 4 July 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Golf for Dummies (Paperback)

The only reason I would not give this book a 10 is I have not read all the golf books there are. Gary McCord suggests some other books that I will read in the future. In this book you gain a real desire to take up golf and learn to play correctly. Gary McCord makes you feel that with some work even you can have a good game of golf. You get to feel some of Gary's comical personality in this book. This is definately not a dry technical manual. And not only is it a very good learning tool, you will also find it very entertaining. When you start reading the book it will become very hard to put it down. I highly suggest this as a first book for beginning golfers as Gary has successfully taken the mystery out of golf. - John Holm - "A beginning golfer by my own admission."
