5.0 out of 5 stars Good For Golfers!, November 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Different Game: Golf After 50 (Hardcover)

More than a holiday gift item, this book is for all boomers' birthdays, Valentine's or just plain fun. The basics are freshly stated in short digestible bites. Serious, in a light vein, this book is for the beginner, the experienced golfer, the 30 handicap or the 13, and focuses on what really matters about the game. Par!

4.0 out of 5 stars Golf wisdom for old and young players well presented., October 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Different Game: Golf After 50 (Hardcover)

To a 65 year old resuming golf after 50 years this is wonderful book. Practical suggestions on physical condition, exercise, stretching, diet and attitudes toward injury are as informative as recommendations on hitting from bunkers or club choice, and other golf suggestions. Old and young golfers will benefit from this terse wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a look, December 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Different Game: Golf After 50 (Hardcover)

The two authors would apparently rather be on the course than back home reading -- this book is succinct and filled with practical, go-do-it advice. So you can pick it up, read a chapter at random, and try it out. Throw this one in your car, then stuff it in your bag and give their ideas a shot. I know Brown's work from his earlier books on tennis -- more my game -- and Sarbin has apparently seen every green there is. Not a bad buy from two veterans. It seems to have been priced as a gift book, but I'd get two and keep one for yourself.
