From Booklist
It's easy to understand why near nonagenarian Harvey Penick has become a best-selling author with the publication of two unprepossessing golf instructionals,
Harvey Penick's Little Red Book (1992) and
And If You Play Golf, You're My Friend (1993). The human animal has an extremely limited capacity for thinking while swinging a golf club, a fact that most teachers of the sport have never properly recognized. Not Penick. His swing tips are succinct, simple, and goal directed, whether he's telling you to clip a tee in the backyard or practice chip shots under a card table. Similarly, his philosophical musings on the game, while sometimes engagingly enigmatic, always have a practical point. His third book is aimed at women golfers, though plenty of his advice will be appropriate for those of either sex. He does, however, make several telling points relating specifically to women: why women have such naturally good short games, for example, and how women can develop "golfing muscles." Readers of both the the previous books will find some repetition here, but Penick's homespun wisdom always bears repeating. A must where golf books are popular.

Product Description
Golf's greatest teacher will help every woman improve her game! Harvey Penick's Little Red Book introduced millions of golfers to a national treasure -- a gentle, wise teacher who has helped some of the game's greats become champions.
Unique among golf teachers, Harvey has worked with, helped -- and learned from -- as many women champions as men. In For All Who Love the Game, he shares the lessons he has learned from all the women he's watched in his seven decades of teaching the game he loves. He describes the techniques that can help women gain greater power, discusses the psychological hurdles every golfer must overcome to improve their game, and gives tips for developing the parts of the game where women can and should outplay their male partners.
With the same blend of sage advice and common sense that made his first two audio programs essential parts of every golfer's library, Harvey tells how every woman, whatever her athletic gifts might be, can play great golf and enjoy the game to the fullest.
