2.0 out of 5 stars
Mainly overview, many words, few pictures,,
By A Customer
This review is from: The PGA Manual of Golf: The Professional's Way to Learn and Play Better Golf (Revised and Updated) (Hardcover)
This book was a poor choice for me. I am taking up golf for the first time so I was looking for a book that would be very specific to the fundamentals. I wanted step by step instructions that included detailed pictures. I also wanted concise information on golf rules, etiquette, and equipment technology trade-offs. This book has a lot of information but it depends on word after word to tell its story. Very few pictures are included to supplement the information. Therefore, it fails almost totally at my first requirement for detatiled fundamentals. The second requirement is partially met. There is information available on many topics but it is not concise. Overall, reading this book was like sitting through a friend's vacation slide show. I listen to all the general comments and tangents(which someone else may find interesting), waiting for the specific nugget I'm interested in, but ultimately fall asleep. If you enjoy broad discussions or want a higher level overview, this book may be right for you - but it did not meet my requirements.

This review is from: The PGA Manual of Golf: The Professional's Way to Learn and Play Better Golf (Revised and Updated) (Hardcover)
This book is Golf For Dummies, PGA Style. Some golf history, some discussion about golf rules, clubs, courses, tools of the trade (i.e. the other kind of clubs), and some traditional golf instruction. Worth having on or under the living room coffee table.

This review is from: The PGA Manual of Golf: The Professional's Way to Learn and Play Better Golf (Revised and Updated) (Hardcover)
From the PGA Teaching Manual to The PGA Manual Of Golf I have had the opportunity to gain the knowledge that has help me become a good coach and teacher and not just a instructor. If you are serious about your game and want to get better I sincerly recomend that you add The PGA Manual Of Golf to your library. Coach H Turk Walker
