Book Reviews of The Best Instruction Book Ever! Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers Show You the Fastest Ways to Shoot Lower Scores! (Book + DVD)
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
Lots of up-close photos. Instructions are in small bite-sized chunks (perfect for our age's Just Give me the Facts mentality).
There are some contradictory statements (for example, widen your stance vs. narrow your stance as a way to improve your swing). But if you read it in context you are giving up one thing for another in each example.
Has some good drills to help you swing better.
I had zero prior lessons (other than from my fellow hackers on the course). I am probably a bogey golfer (through in a few pars/birdies here an there) that lacked consistency with the swing. I am hopeful that these drills help me hit the ball more consistently and drive my score down below 90s. On the range, it already feels better and I know when I hit a bad shot, what I likely did that caused it, so I can correct it.
I would recommend this for any new golfers that have never had instruction. And even if you have had instruciton, this is a nice reinforcement of your setup, stance, grip and swing to help you become more consistent.
Book Review: Very helpful for the novice golfer
Summary: 4 Stars
Liked:
Illustrations, lots of pictures
Covers numerous situations and solutions
DVD
Would of liked:
The DVD to be longer, I found it very helpful but it was kind of short
Overall:
Obviously a book alone isn't going to be the only thing that helps my game but it's a great supplement to lessons and lots of practice. I often refer to it when I get into a situation that I know I could of done better to get out of.
Book Review: Great for Beginners...
Summary: 4 Stars
Ive just started dabbling in golf- I've picked up an inexpensive set of clubs and wanted to get the basics down before I started to retain any bad habits- and this book has helped my practices become more productive. Each page is filled with large pictures and easy to understand descriptions. The only downside is that the book is filled with tips from multiple golf pros- and some of the tips seem to contradict those from other golf pros within the book.Book Review: Excellent but very detailed
Summary: 4 Stars
The instructions are very detailed and prolific.
Therefore I am using this book only for the specific problems I am encountering for the moment.
I consider myself as a duffer, although I played for years (am now 80) I have never
became a good golfer.
But I still can recommend this book as one of the best I encountered.
Book Review: Very Easy to Use
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the book very informative with good figures and explanations. The only drawback is the format trying to include many different trainer's hints after each chapter. Some of these, although useful, did not seem to match the topic discussed as well as they should.
I am glad I bought it.
