I bought "Great Golf" because I wanted an instruction book that gave me the tips I was looking for but also kept me immersed in the words and images of the heros I grew up admiring: Snead, Hogan, Player, and my favorite: Dr. Cary Middlecoff. Little did I know my wife would also treasure this book. She took up golf two years ago, took lessons, and now is at a level where she can check the finer points against this historical chronicle of advise and instruction. She especially appreciates chapters from golf's women icons: Nancy Lopez, Babe Didrikson Zacharias, Anika Sorenstam, and others whose take on the game has a women's perspective. You wouldn't think an instruction book would be one that we just sit down and read and peruse through, but that's what "Great Golf" has us doing.

A great book on the fundametals of golf. Very in depth and detailed. Need to understand the basics of golf before reading. Provides an insight to the orgin of the game and some the founding players.

This book isn't recommended for beginning players, because it talks and describe a lot of topics along a widely year of golf... be cautioned when you read it. For advances player: it's an amazing book with "instruction and tips", added the gift that you can live years of golf.
