This review is from: I Know Absolutely Nothing About Golf: A New Golfer's Guide to the Game's History, Traditions, Rules, Etiquette, Equipment, and Language (Hardcover)

I was suprised when I first started reading this book. It was not the usual step by step chapters on facts and rules. This was a story of a women who found herself in the position of needing to learn a lot in a small amount of time. So she goes to a golf club and talks with several of the people that work there. Each person she talks with teaches her something specific. When she is with the grounds keeper she learns about the course. The club maker teachers her about the different kind of clubs. What they are made of, which are best for a beginner. And what each one is made of. there is also a lot of history thrown in. How the first clubs, & balls were made etc. the last chapter is a glossery of terms: par, birdie, eagle, and many I've never heard of. It reads like a story. All the topic's in the title were covered, and I did learn a lot from this book that I did not know, and it didn't put me to sleep doing it.
