Summary of Golf For Dummies

Discover how to take strokes off your game by improving the technique of your swing with step-by-step photos and master the all - important putt to better your score. Whether you're new to golf or a long-time duffer, this easy-to-follow guide will get you into the swing of things by helping you to: Master grip, stance, and swing; Fix common faults; Improve your putting; Know the score on rules and etiquette; Take advantage of high-tech equipment; Shape up with golf--specific exercises; Where to play in the UK and Europe; How to choose your golf balls and clubs; Getting and staying in golf shape; Getting the most from your lessons; Developing your own swing; Putting, chipping, and pitching; and Special shots, conditions, and considerations.

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.
