What I liked most about this book was that it covered things like etiquette and some of the history of golf. Two areas that I think are ignored these days. Also, there are plenty of drills and every page is literally packed with illustrations that will help beginners quite a bit. The drawback to this book is that there are times where Campbell ends a section and I felt there were several other points to be made about that particular subject. But, overall, I think it is an excellent book for helping beginners visualize the swing and be exposed to the many different techniques used by the pros, but not as helpful for more experienced golfers.

I tend to judge the worth of a golf instruction book based on how many times I mentally refer to it during a practice session or in a round. After reading tons of golf books, I really never found myself referring to anything in this book I hadn't already been exposed to elsewhere. But if you're just starting out, this is a great place to start. Especially for the price.

much of the information I have heard before. If you haven't read many golf books this is a great one to start with. It is full of great suggestions from A-Z. For something a little more unique you might also check out Par Golf by Schnackenberg.

Malcolm Campbell sums up the game of golf here in one book. There is everything from streching before your game to more advanced topics like course managemen. With just one time through the book I'll bet it helped me lower my score by two to three strokes per round, and when you already shoot in the low 80's thats not as easy to do. Buy the book!

~The Rebecca Review

I found the book to be perfect for me and what i needed, but i specifically look for one that indicate to be in spanish because it is not for me, but for my father, who dont speak any english, i found this and it says Spanish Edition, in the description it says Language: Spanish, so i decided to purchase it, but surprise for me, it is in English!, nice pictures thought, i hope my father can use them and try to translate as much as he can, but the main fact is that IT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS IT SHOULD BE! so please change the item description to avoid any other problema like this, i know Amazon is mainly for english speaking people, but you can not understimate people looking for books in other languages!

I bought this book for my friend per his request. He was sastified with this. The book is used but looks new and is in very good condition, cheap price and quick delivery. It's great.

DK Publishing is a British Publishing House that is master of book making, design and illustration. This book is reflective of this. Any book by DK should automatically be recognized for quality.
As for golf, this book is an excellent introduction for beginners and a good reference for the shelf of the more advanced. It is a well illustrated starter book.

If you want a book that you can display in your library because it looks nice and pretty, this is the book. This book has techniques that will hinder improvement and actually make you score worse. I applied the techniques in this book and I actually scored worse. I also hit my drives much shorter distances and without as much control using the golf techniques described by the author. Why do you think there are over 100 people selling back this book on amazon marketplace? Some marketplace sellers are even selling it for under a $1. To sum up, what you will get is quality paper, nice pictures but no technique that will help you with your golf game. One more thing, you'll also get plenty of golf history.

Other reasons why this book is flawed:
Book claims that the techniques in this book are new. Give me a break. What a lie.

J'enseigne le golf depuis 7 ans à Québec et c'est de loin le meilleur livre de golf parlant des aspects techniques du golf. Dailleur, ce livre est un outil pédagogique obligatoire au Département d'Éducatin Physique de l'Université Laval à Québec à la formation des instructeurs de golf.
Je recommande ce livre à tout mes élèves depuis mes débuts en enseignement du golf. Ce livre est fait simplement et clairement. Il parle des différentes techniques à utiliser en fonction de la situation de jeu dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. Il y a aussi un petit chapitre intéressant sur le "course management" que tous les golfeurs auraient sérieusement avantage à consulter avant de se lancer sur un terrain de golf. La description des techniques de bases est faite de façon simple, claire et précise sans le jargon populaire de golf des professionnels. C'est un bon compromis si vous ne trouvez pas un professeur de golf qui sait répondre à vos attentes.
