3.0 out of 5 stars Beginners ONLY. But there are far better choices!, March 18, 2008

This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Golf (Teach Yourself VISUALLY Consumer) (Paperback)

I've been playing golf for about 4 years now and found this book one that might be enjoyed by someone who is just starting out. It's a basic instruction manual with lots of pretty color pictures and a nice layout. Unfortunately the content is mundane with nothing to distinguish itself from some many other books of this type that have preceeded it. I think I'm being generous giving it a 3.

Rather than reading a complete rehash of what's already been done a thousand times before I'd recommend that you get yourself anything written by David Leadbetter, Jim Mclean, Jack Nichlaus or Gary Player.

I basically just turned the pages, went through the book once and found myself thoroughly disappointed thinking - nothing new here. Oh, least I forget Tiger Woods has a book I believe it's called How I Play Golf - this would be another much better choice.

Complete, and yet easy to use and understand. A picture paints 1000 words, especially in golf. I highly recommend this book. It is already helping my game!
