1.0 out of 5 stars The book is out of date., July 1, 1999

By A Customer

I originaly bought the book in 1997. Since then there have been tremendous changes in golf on the Internet. This book needs to be revised.

Some of the sites that the book shows aren't even online anymore. I would not recommend the book any longer.

2.0 out of 5 stars May have been five stars two years ago but not in 1999, June 19, 1999

By A Customer

A lot of the web sites in the book no longer exist. In fact it seems like most of the ones that I find interesting no longer exist.
