Product Description

From Amazon

If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemon wedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by CBS commentator Gary McCord, one of the game's most colorful--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 potato-chip drill--yes, potato-chip drill--will revolutionize 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.

This review is from: Golf for Dummies (Hardcover)

The picture, title and inside look gave me the impression that I was buying a large 300+ book. I got a 127 page miniature book that is not nearly the same value. I would rate this a never again person to deal with

This review is from: Golf For Dummies (Paperback)

There are more to these For Dummies books than many people would think. The author's sense of humor, knowledge, and clear descriptions combined with the easy to understand and follow, For Dummies format make for an informative, enjoyable, and useful book. I think this book would also be useful for intermediate golfers. The illustrations would be a good review.

Nathaniel (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Golf For Dummies (Paperback)

I borrowed this book from my cousin who just had it sitting on the shelf gathering dust. I am an intermediate golfer and have read many books. This is one of the best ones I have read. I think the reason I like it is because it reinforces things I have already learned. The statements regarding "balance" and the "pivot point" are superb.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK on the basics.
Had a good section on grip, alignment, etc. Equipment and fitness sections in my oppinion haven't kept up with the changes in the game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adds to a beginer's knowledge, but cannot teach the game.
This is a great book for a beginner, once he or she decides that another terribly frustrating hobby is needed in life. Read more
