I learned to golf and laughed while doing it! Just what I needed!

I'VE READ THIS BOOK AND I THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. ALTHOUGH I AM AN EXPERIENCED GOLFER, THE BOOK WAS NOT TOO BASIC FOR AN ADVANCED GOLFER TO ENJOY. SEVERAL DRILLS STILL ARE IN MY PRACTICE REGIMEN WHEN I AM IN A SLUMP.

PERHAPS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE BOOK IS THAT IS WHAT THE TITLE EXPLAINS...SIMPLE.

SHATZ HAS CREATED AN INSTRUCTIONAL BOOK WITH HUMOR , SKILLS, AND ETTIQUITE. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK .

I am not a fan of golf instruction books, but this one is a winner. Clever, creative and dare I say, witty. Dr. Shatz could easily create a series of these books using his laid back approach. What a treat to find a college professor with a common mans touch. He may have a PhD in Psychology, but Dr. Shatz could easily have a doctorate in golf. A book that will hit home with Tiger wannabees from Boston to San Francisco...especially San Francisco given Dr. Shatz's athletic and masculine charm.

Simple golf instructions for the basics. Nothing fancy but perfect for the beginner golfer.

With a gentle touch, Dr. Shatz touches the would be golfer in us all. I bought his book first as a gift for others and then as a gift for myself. With wit, charm and a dash of charisma, Dr. Shatz hits all the right buttons and has a certain unusual energy when he's advising all of us would be Tiger Woods to "spread our stance a little wider". This book will be a hit with weekend duffers from Boston to San Francisco given Dr. Shatz's masculine yet approachable charm.

I've only been golfing for 4 years. I'm not comfortable taking lessons. But reading the easy and humorous golfing book by Mark Shatz immediately improved my game. It is a quick-read with great hints on how to golf and how to improve your golf game. Readers will appreciate the clear instructions, helpful models, and humor. I recommend it to all of my golfing buddies. I even recommended it to my wife! His method brings instant results and more enjoyment to golf.

I hate reading instructinal manuals, which is why I still don't know how to use my VCR. Then I saw this book which claimed to make learning to golf simple and easy. I remembered my 8 year old son's pestering about how he wanted to learn to play and how I have put him off because I am too cheap to shell out the money for lessons. So, I got the book and tried it myself. NOW, even I can golf! Not only is it easy to follow and effective, I had a blast reading it, too. Now my son gets those long awaited lessons---but they are coming from me and our copy of KISSing Golf!

When faced with learning a new skill, the last thing I do is read the instructions. Most of the time they only serve to confuse me. However, KISSing Golf is clear, concise and riddled with humor. Anyone who has been on a golf course knows that a sense of humor is the key to survival. Dr. Shatz writes an intellgent, witty book that answers all the questions beginners have, and helps us to understand those individuals who are posseseed by "golfitis".
