Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This how-to guide is distinguished by the large number of photographs and line drawings that illustrate the instructor's lessons, with a minimum of nice but not very informative photographs that are often in books of this ilk. Rankin, whose professional golfing heyday was in the 1960s and 1970s, currently works as an on-course TV commentator for both men's and women's tournaments and has made several instructional videos. She covers swing basics, course strategy, warmup exercises, lesson-taking, and provides two unique features: a chapter on how to give golf a one-month tryout before giving up (as so many beginners do) and how to learn from watching golf on TV. Relatively jargon-free, this book includes many tips from many professionals, both male and female. A good complement to Nancy Lopez's The Complete Golfer (LJ 10/15/87) and Kathy Whitworth's Golf for Women (LJ 6/15/90).?Kathy Ruffle, Coll. of New Caledonia Lib., Prince George, B.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Reference Book for Beginners., February 3, 2002
By A Customer
While nothing will replace a series of lessons from a competent teaching pro, this book can be a useful supplement for those of us who need to have something tangible to refer back to, in between lessons and rounds. The pictures are detailed and are particularly nice with regard to giving the reader a sequential view of different shots from different angles. Some of the theory behind different shots is also presented, but not in an overly wordy or technical manner. As a novice woman golfer, I refer to this book fairly frequently, as it has given me a better understanding of my particular swing mechanics without inundating me with a lot of physics. I found the discourse on grip particularly helpful. There are also some nice side-bar comments and tips sprinkled throughout the book, which can be useful. I found this book to be well-written, without cute language and/or negative attitudes about male golfers. Thanks, Judy.
