3.0 out of 5 stars Jack of all trades and master of none, October 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Everything Golf Book; Essential rules, useful tips, amusing anecdotes, and fun trivia for every golf addict! (Paperback)

If you are into a bit of golf trivia, history, or even instruction this is your book. The only problem is, none of these areas are covered in depth. I was a bit disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to golf, June 1, 1998

This review is from: The Everything Golf Book; Essential rules, useful tips, amusing anecdotes, and fun trivia for every golf addict! (Paperback)

This book will enable the beginning golfer to carry a reasonably intelligent conversation while hitting the links the first time. A couple of minor rules errors (e.g., a provisional ball should be hit from the place the lost ball was hit, not from the place the golfer thinks it got lost) do nothing to detract from the enjoyment of this book, and it is truly useful. While the free lesson given in this book will do nothing to help your game (never take a lesson from someone who hasn't played the game in years), this book will definitely help you on the 19th hole.
