Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The book is now a movie, so to speak: Golf for Dummies, the print guide, has been adapted into this crisp, easy-to-follow, and entertaining DVD hosted by the original tome's author, CBS Sports commentator Gary McCord. McCord wants beginners to love the sometimes overwhelming game and he wants experienced players to know that Golf for Dummies is always there for reviewing basics and correcting common problems. The program starts with essentials: becoming familiar with an individual course (the par for each hole and lengths between); the difference between a birdie, a bogey, and an eagle; the importance of using the right equipment; the details of golf etiquette (keep things moving, cut down chatter). McCord stresses the need for a balanced stance, proper grip, and coordination to achieve a good swing. But for players repeatedly hooking and slicing, Golf for Dummies can coach one through that and much else. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars This ain't for dummies..., October 11, 2004
By Jason Ennor (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Golf for Dummies (DVD)
After reading a bunch of books, and watching a bunch of rented DVD on golf instruction, this is the one I purchased. The instruction is clear, and concise, and quite humorous too.
As a relative beginner there are loads of great tips and tricks, and yet I felt there is a lot of useful stuff for when I become more accomplished too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great dvd!, March 17, 2005
By Stevenk (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golf for Dummies (DVD)
I rented this video and am now purchasing it. Mccord explains how to fix a slice/hook, grip, stance, alignment, putting, chipping, sand, and much more, in an easy to understand, straight forward, humorous manner. Great for teaching the basics, and review for the rest of us. Also has small bit on etiquette, which as we all know is something that should be mentioned more often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to start golf, great to review, October 22, 2004
By Tommy (Naperville, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golf for Dummies (DVD)
This DVD is very well done, Gary's experience as a TV commentator provides a solid performance that is pleasant to watch, and best of all, gives a great series of lessons.

I've gotten a lot out of this DVD, highly recommended!
