Golf: Guide to Playing

This book is a gem. It is organized in a very practical fashion that allows you to focus on each aspect of the game. The range of topics is wide, going from the elements of the swing, the different shots, and all the way to strategy and conditioning for Golf. The book is written with practical summaries that allow you to keep key points in the foreground and get ready to play. If you only buy one "how to" golf book, this should be the one.

When I wanted to get started with golf I picked up this book. Easy to understand, with simple instructions and explanations. It also has the clearest overview of the basic rules of the game that I've seen. Even the hardest part of any book on golf, the swing, is covered pretty well - I at least have the intellectual knowlege now to on swinging the club. Great book.

This is an excellent book for beginners. It covers almost all aspects of the game. It has color photos as opposed to diagrams in other books. It has an excellent chapter on fixing common flaws. I just started playing a few weeks ago and this book really accelerated my learning. The only negative about this book, besides the fact that I couldn't put it down, is that it only has a handfull of drills. If you're looking for a book of drills, this is not the choice. Still, this is a great book well worthy of five stars and a steal at $14.00.

Outstanding. Easy to read, easy to understand, well illustrated, extremely informative and packed to the gills with great information about learning or improving your golf game.A great book at a great price. You can't afford to be without this one.

I was tired of being left behind while my boyfriend hit the green with his buddies, so I picked up the KISS Guide to Golf and learned to play! The author, Steve Duno, did a terrific job of guiding me through the basic rules and postures of the game in a step-by-step format that was really easy -- I learned more in these 400 pages than I have in years of hanging around experienced golfers! Thanks!
