USGA (Author)

Book Description

Series: Golf Rules Illustrated | Publication Date: June 2001

Where better than an official publication of the United States Golf Association to learn the rules of golf? Only here will you find the updated complete rules as revised in 2000 and more than 100 illustrations designed to make understanding them even easier. Best of all, there's a particular emphasis on those situations that always seem to cause difficulty for golfers of all levels. Obstructions, bunkers, out of bounds, lost balls, unplayable balls, water hazards, loose impediments, casual waters--this is just some of what you'll find. There are also explanations of when and how you can legally improve your lie, winter rules, and much more. Whether you're engaged in stroke play or match play, in a friendly foursome or fighting for your club championship, a knowledge of the rules will increase your enjoyment of the game--and maybe even take a few strokes off your score.

5.0 out of 5 stars simple, basic - perfect for the beginner., November 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Good Golf Made Easy: For the Complete Beginner (Paperback)

I don't think the author would make any claim about this book being suitable for all golfers. Those who have been playing for years probably wouldn't get much out of it. But for people who are relatively new to the game I reckon it is perfect. I expected golf instruction books to be far too complicated for me but this makes the game sound relatively straightforward. And since buying this book not only has my enjoyment level risen, I have also broken 90 for the first time. If it's science you're after, don't get it. If it's simple, basic tips that avoid 'paralysis by analysis', which so many of my golfing friends suffer from, then this book will prove very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confusing Reviews, October 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Good Golf Made Easy: For the Complete Beginner (Paperback)

As a beginner, I was looking for a book that made instruction sound as simple as possible. I know how difficult golf is and have found some of the other instruction books way too scientific. They didn't make the game any easier. I read the previous reviews of this title and didn't know what to make of it as they were so diverse. Having now read the book I agree with those that rate it highly and totally disagree with the guy who gave it one star. I mean, he didn't even read it and seemed to be talking about an entirely different book. A book called 'Good Golf Made Easy'is obviously about instruction and not the rules of the game which he seemed to think. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and found the concepts pretty easy to grasp. It's not sophisticated and probably won't win any awards for writing but it has definitely helped my game. I'm going to supplement what I learnt in this book with lessons from my local professional but GGME has definitely given me a good start.
