5.0 out of 5 stars Learning from the master, January 11, 2000

By	Lee Haugen "lhaugen" (Merced, California) - See all my reviews

I am building quite a collection of golf instruction books, but I keep going back to Jack's when I want to cut through the confusion. I am going to order another copy for my twin brother who has recently come back to the game after a 30 year lapse.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on golf I've seen, November 2, 1999

By	"wwombat" (Blue Mountains, Australia) - See all my reviews

Thanks Amazon for finding this wonderful book for me. It was the first golf instruction book I'd ever purchased over 15 years ago. Sadly I lent it to a friend who failed to return it. I was delighted when I searched Amazon.com and found that it was still in print. A must read for the amateur golfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars No gimmicks, no magic, just rock-solid instruction, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

I bought this book when it first came out years ago... my 10-year old son is taking up the game and I've just ordered another copy for him; mine is dog-eared from years of use and re-use! This easy to read and use set of lessons concentrates on the basics of fundamental golf, in a format that builds on itself. From grip technique, to set up, to addressing the ball, through all the facets of ball-striking and ending with course management tips, you move from one lesson to the next under the tutelage of one of the game's undisputed masters. The compilation of lessons is based on cartoon-type illustrations and accompanying text. The beauty of this book is that it concentrates on basics; just sound, fundamental ideas that still allow the reader to learn why the golf ball does the things it does when struck in different ways. What causes a slice or hook? What causes "topping" or hitting fat? Why should I use different swings when faced with different types of sand in the trap? All these questions and many more are addressed in a clear, easy to read and understand style. You'll never need another instruction book, stick with this one and you'll learn the skills needed to enjoy the game for many years to come.
