   Want to learn about the game? Interested in buying a set of clubs? Get the guide and find out about the golf craze from the beginner level. If you want to learn and want to get a before the course intro, then this is an excellent place to start.

   Easy to understand and filled with basic know how information. Also guides you through the golf club lingo and aids in smart club purchases. If the golf game has interest and also intimidates you, you will appreciate this title.

   Makes an excellent gift purchase for the want to be golfer!

   I purchased this book to learn enough about golf to play a game with my boss. This book and a couple hours practice did the trick. It taught me all the golf specific jargon, the rules, and the basics of proper swing and form. Whether you want to play like a pro, or just play well enough to keep from looking like a fool, this is a perfect starting place.

   it is written for idiots, and therefore, it’s very basic. It’s good especially for beginners. I don’t think the author misses any of the basic subjects for golf, there are many things in here that most golf instruction books must figure you already know.

   For a novice such as myself, I was astounded at what this book could teach me. From grip to stance to swing to rules, every page was entertaining and/or relevant.

   I was looking for a book that actually had workout routines to specifically target areas that would increase my golf game and this one had it. It also has pre-season and off-season workouts which are a plus. It is a very detailed book. Great book!

   I’ve been involved in weight training at a high level for over 30 years. I took up golf later in life (late 30s) and was looking for a book that would provide exercises and routines that would help me move from pure strength-building to a program tailored for the golfer — focusing more on flexibility, core strength and other exercises that would improve a golfer’s game. This book might mention “golf” a handful of times, but is otherwise far from sport specific. That said, it’s an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about the fundamentals of weight training — good illustrations of many of the exercises you’ll see in every gym (free weights only) and a good, comprehensive collection of pre-set programs that are geared for different skill/experience levels. I’ve downgraded it 2 stars because the mention of “golf” in the title is completely misleading — if you religiously followed the “strength building” routines from this book, you almost certainly wouldn’t improve your golf game, which relies far more on touch than brute strength.

   I think, the workouts listed here would help me in every area of life, not just golf. Its a great set of exercises.
   Now, if I could only find the motivation required to stick to them

   This book has about five pages of information that is even vaguely golf-specific (pp. 9-14); the rest are how to perform weight lifting and specific exercises, with some generic diet advice. The problem is that there is almost no link between the two parts of the book, as in “This exercise will help with your grip” or “These exercises strengthen your forearms, which is important because…” While I haven’t read or looked at all of them, there are 30 books by this author (listed on the back page of this one) claiming to be weight training for different sports. It looks as though the author wrote one book for weight lifting and grafted on a few pages in front and changed the title to make it seem sport-specific. In fact, there are more pages of advertising in the back of the book (six) for the author’s website than there are golf-specific pages. It would be interesting to see if the same typos are in all of the books. If you’re a lifter who wants to take up golf, this book may be helpful, but if you’re a golfer or golfer-wannabe, this book is total waste of money.

    This book is great! I have always had a problem falling into a workout rut, and this book has designed a fun golf workout that changes every two weeks. I would recommend this book or any book in this series to someone who is training for a specific sport. The book is simple to read and you can download blank workout sheets from their website so you can track your progress. The book also has pictures explaining each exercise that is well organized by muscle group. Golf season has not started yet but I am looking forward to getting out there and crushing some great shots.

    I highly recommend this book to those who are struggling to improve or who know they can be better — just can’t afford the fees of a pro! I have already shaved five strokes off my handicap and am doing better every time I play — keep the book on your night stand at night and your bag on the course.

    I have been working seriously on my golf game for about 2 years, and consider myself an “early” intermediate level golfer. I found this book extremely helpful. The pictures of what to do, as well as what NOT to do, were just what I needed to solidify my swing. This book is packed full of info in an easy to read format. Love it!
