Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A splendidly written, detailed, well-illustrated book from Whitworth, professional golf's all-time tournament winner with 88 wins. Golf books for women have not been published too frequently. Among the notable golf books are the great "Babe" (Di drikson) Zaharias's Championship Golf (LJ 7/48), Patty Berg (who wrote the for ward to this book) and Tom Cox's Golf Illustrated (LJ 7/50), and Nancy Lopez and Tom Wade's Nancy Lopez's The Complete Golfer (Contemporary Bks., 1989). Whitworth's effort covers everything from fundamentals to more delicate finesse shots. She demonstrates strokes not usually treated in the "swings the thing" and tee to green approach: the proper use of the left side, legwork, tempo, chipping; and she covers golf cliches, bad weather play, and "thinking" strategy. Concise checklists follow each chapter to allow the reader to review salient points. Whitworth concludes with a chapter on "Knowing Patty Berg" and an evaluative salute to "Wright, Nicklaus, Snead, Hagge, Lopez, and Friends." A grand purchase for any golfing nook.
