Beginning golfers, buy this book! (No, I'm not related to the author or publisher.) This is almost the perfect elementary golf guide. Each topic is brief and to the point, the color photos are clear and sharp, and I can't imagine any essential element of the game that isn't covered. My only gripe is that I was surprised at the small format (neglected to check the dimensions of the book under Amazon's description) -- it's about the size of a small paperback novel. I guess they expect you to carry it to the driving range in your back pocket. A larger format would have helped. Aside from that, this book is a keeper.

When I decided to try and take up golf I found this book on the Internet and took a chance and purchased it. I was very pleased. This really is a nice book. Every page is illustrated in full color and is printed on 279 mm paper. It's a quality publication. It covers every aspect of the game from equipment to instructions and pointers on driving and putting. It is a very informative book even if you decide never to play the game.
