Book Review: Great Book for Players of all Abilities
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Golf Instructor and purchased the book because I enjoy Gary's humorous side of golf.
If your handicap is higher than legal drinking age, or if you're a Club Champion, I'm confident you will find Gary's book not only funny and entertaining, but informative and insightful. It's also and excellent reference book, if you're having trouble with one or more areas of your game, or if you want to make your good game better.
I will be taking a number of his tips, drills, and techniques to my students this season!
Great job, Gary! Keep up the great work!

If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemon wedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by CBS commentator Gary McCord, one of the game's most colorful--and knowledgeable--characters. It's a wonderful, often hilarious, never boring introduction to the game. Don't let the foreword by Kevin Costner or the afterword by Hootie and the Blowfish confuse the issue; this is a terrifically sound, easy-to-follow primer. McCord's potato-chip drill--yes, potato-chip drill--will revolutionize your swing, and your thinking, with overtones that could spill directly into off-the-course existence, as well.
