A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf™ is a portable guide that addresses every detail of a woman's golf game from tee to green and in-between.

It's packed full of instructional, step-by-step photographs for every technical aspect of the game, while also covering course management, mental tools, rules and etiquette, and a hysterical jokes section for when all else fails. Dotted with fun illustrations when on-course, from tee to green and in-between, A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf™ is approachable, user-friendly, and perfectly sized for the golf bag. This guide allows readers to improve their game while they are playing with a wire binding that allows for easy use on the golf course. No more wishing you could remember what you read in last month's Golf for Women--now every question is answered. The clear, easy-to-follow, how-to photographs and illustrations provide re-creatable visuals that will ensure success from the tee to the green.

More About the Author

Author Christina Ricci

For Christina Ricci, golf has been a mission. She determined that she was going to drop to a single digit handicap from a thirty within five years. She accomplished that ambitious goal, dropping to a five handicap in five years, through passion and commitment. Since then, Christina continues to strive for her new goals, but has an even greater mission: to share the valuable lessons she has learned along her journey.

Her top-selling book, A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf(tm) has become a staple for women amateur golfers all over the world. With her new Guide, Reach Your Goals Survival Guide to Golf, Christina is offering the same engaging format and hands-on, realistic approach, to men and women of all levels.

Christina's new goal is to drop to a scratch. Follow along the course with her and share the decision-making process, mindset, and techniques as she works on her game. At the same time, work on your individual goals for improving your game. As Christina has discovered, these same strategies offer rewards far beyond the course.

She currently has a 3.2 handicap and tournament wins under her belt. Originally from Boston, Christina now splits her time between Boston and Miami.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't need to be afraid anymore!!, March 31, 2009
This review is from: A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf: Tee to Green and In-Between (Spiral-bound)
I have been "playing" golf since high school, taking lessons here and there and playing occasionally. I've always been intimidated to play with men, I've just never given the details of playing the focus that it needed. Now all of that has changed with this book!! I have a new passion for it, and the book has really helped me focus on all of the aspects that I can improve easily. I find myself leafing through the book at night, practicing the shot or grip just the way it is so clearly illustrated in the book. And I love the focus on women's play, which is really specific. It's really fun to read and gets me excited about going out and practicing on the course. And the book is the perfect size to take on course and so easy to reference throughout a round. One of the best how-to sports books I've read!! It's a fantastic tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best golf guide for a girl learning to play golf!!!!, January 11, 2009
This review is from: A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf: Tee to Green and In-Between (Spiral-bound)
My 10 year old daughter has discovered the wonderful world of golf. She is a very good player. We got her this book for Christmas and she loves it. I think that it is helpful for her to see the wrong way and then the right way to stand and swing. To actually see it on paper is a great benefit. Thank you Christina Ricci for writing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Golf Guide!, August 13, 2008
This review is from: A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf: Tee to Green and In-Between (Spiral-bound)
I highly recommend this book to those who are struggling to improve or who know they can be better -- just can't afford the fees of a pro! I have already shaved five strokes off my handicap and am doing better every time I play -- keep the book on your night stand at night and your bag on the course.
