The Women's Guide to Lower Scores [Hardcover]

Kellie Stenzel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2004

You have managed to develop a respectable game of golf, but your score just doesn't seem to be getting any lower. We have all experienced the frustration of getting right up to the edge of the green only to throw away numerous shots with a missed chip or one too many putts, and now is the time to take responsibility for your score, and your short game will be the quickest way to do this.

The short game is more different for women than any other part of the game. The short game schools are often advertised as '100 yards in', and shots of 100 yards may be a full 7 or 8 iron for many women. But the short game provides a wonderful opportunity for women to even the playing field. A good short game can compensate for a multitude of mistakes and take a lot of pressure off the full swing.

By identifying strengths and weaknesses, from the smallest stroke to the largest swing and applying simple methods for quick skill improvement, you will learn to self correct and better manage your own golf game.

Beginning with advice on making better decisions about shot selection and practice techniques from fairway and bunker to green, The Women's Guide to Lower Scores will take players through the steps they need to conquer the game and bring on the lower scores.

This was a great golf book and I've read several. Easy to read, easy to understand. Lots of visuals. Great book for beginners, but just as helpful for more experienced golfers wanting to lower their handicap.

This golf book is excellent for any women golfer. It has many tips with pictures to show proper procedures of the swing to help lower your score.

I used this as a gift for a golfer during one of our golfing events. This book would make a nice gifts to share with any golfer. We all are looking for ways to lower our score.

The book is well written and the pictures are useful to see proper position for your swing at different times of your game and also putting. I recommend this book for all women golfers.

This is a must for women golfers. I go to the range and then come back home pick up this book and review my accomplishments. I use the drills as a way of continuing to improve my game. I love this book!
