Grand Central Publishing How I Play Golf

I was dubious about this book but thought I'd give it a go. I've got to say, I am REALLY impressed! First thing you notice on flicking through is that this is a visually rich book. Not only is it full of pictures, but most of them feature Tiger himself, some are annotated or labelled. And one of the best things is that Tiger also has taken the time to show us photos of himself doing the things to avoid, so we can compare. I find this particularly surprising as it shows the time that has been put into it, and really makes this feel like a high production value product.There seems an awful amount of information in this book. Almost so much that I'm sure you would get something more out of it each time you read it. It's written in the first person and starts off with an intro to himself and the game, putting, short game, goes on to full swing, driving, mental side and diet and fitness. I was worried that this book would be dated, having been published in 2001 but the only thing that seems slightly out of place is the fashion in a few photos! I'm not sure but there might also be a few differences in club choice and design since then (my instructor recommends carrying hybrids instead of long irons or fairway woods, for example).All in all, a great looking book that is too pretty to be kept on the bookshelf. Even if you're not a fan of Tiger, like me, you can't really pass on the opportunity to learn from a champion. I'd say it may be a bit technical in places for a brand new beginner, but get it anyway because that way you can grow into it. I liked Gary McCords Golf for Dummies DVD when I was first learning.

This a a good book for beginners looking for an aide memoir to the golf lesson. It's heavy on how to do something, or more accurately how Tiger does something, and less about why, or the science or understanding behind it. So I use it as a refresher if the day on the course did not go well, but I will also stick to the lessons to gain a better knowledge of the science behind it. And will keep looking for another book that is a bit more succinct.

Great value used item in good quality. Exactly as described.

One word: EXCELLENT is all you need to describe this book.I got it for a Christmas present from my wife to be and i have read about 80 pages so far and i have learnt so much. I even put some of the moves into play yesterday and my putting just got a whole load better. Its great idea that Tiger starts with Putting in the book first as this is probably where most people fall first.Anyways, great book, great read, and i shall definetly be keeping this in my living room to read and read again!WELL DONE TIGER, roll on a DVD.

Great book, lots of pictures to follow.
