1.0 out of 5 stars Brand new to golf?, February 3, 2010

This review is from: The Golf Magazine Course Management Handbook (Paperback)
If you are brand new to the game of golf and need a crash course in what areas of the game you should give attention this is a good book for you. On the flip side, if you are familiar with the game, this is in no way a good buy. Maybe I was naive for expecting this book to provide more in-depth suggestions to playing certain types of holes or situations the average golfer will encounter on the golf course. So to echo what I said: If you know nothing about the game, this could open your eyes to what you should consider. If you are looking for insightful tips on how to really manage a round of golf look elsewhere. Personally I feel this was a waste of money and 30minutes of my life I'll never get back.
