Now here's a book that can lower your golf scores. Eric Coultoff has presented a simple set of questions to guide a player in managing his/her game through each hole, including the process of putting smartly. Best yet, this small book fits in your golf bag.

I found this book one of the easy books to follow and out of all the golf books I have read this one helped me the most. This book will bring anyone who follows it low scores on the golf course! I thought that the clear drawings made it very easy to understand and fun to read.

Every golf book that I read just adds to my confusion. This one is simple, interesting, and has allready improved my scores. Mr Coultoff takes what can be a complicated subject, and explains it with patience and understanding. I can only hope that he will do the same thing in his next book about the swing itself.

Prepare yourself to receive a book that's only 31 pages of print, of which 9 are full-page drawings (basically, cartoons). Add another drawing that's 2/3 of a page and you are left with just 21 1/3 pages of text, of which some aren't even complete pages. That's less than 20 pages of "education". What's more, the text is large print with large spaces in between. So the negative is that there's not much information here. Also, much of the information included is simply common-sense golf reasoning. The positive, however, is that there are a few good points over and above the common-sense, and that, even regarding the more obvious suggestions, sometimes we just plain need to remind ourselves of them. This "book" (booklet) does a nice job of making that easy for us. My 2-star rating stems primarily from the disappointing shortness of the book. There are certainly many more decisions in the game of golf which go unaddressed here and which could have enhanced the book's value.

This book has helped me disocover new ways to approach my next golf shot. Without filling my head with swing thoughts, this book has helped sort out shot selections as I play. Mr. Coultoff presents us with shot options a player faces during any given round. Then proceeds to communicate which shot option is best, under multiple scenarios. This is a great read for a player struggling with course management. So, if you're on Amazon.com looking for golf instruction... it's safe to say that you haven't mastered course management yet. Get it. Very good value.
