Golf Book Review

Posted in Uncategorized on April 7th, 2011 by admin – 1,530 Comments

I have read many golf books in my life, but there is one book that stands out. Before I reveal the title of this book, I would like to state that this book doesn’t stand out for instruction or a mental approach to the game. It stands out because it captures the essence of golf better than anything else. The book is Sports Illustrated The Golf Book. This is a perfect book for a coffee table. It’s also a must-have for collectors. That said, every golfer should own it. I’m not the only person leaving a positive golf book review for Sports Illustrated The Golf Book. This popular golf book has a 4.5-star reader rating. 100% of readers have been more than satisfied with it and 67% of readers gave it the highest rating possible. It’s also the perfect gift for a golfer.

Golf Book Review

I recently read a book about a man walking across Scotland so he could play every course in the country. Interesting book. Interesting enough that I wanted to leave a golf book review. However, what ended up happening was something entirely different. I ended up coming across various golf instruction books. Since I love to play golf and read, I figured this was a great way to spend more of my free time �” and to possibly improve my golf game. I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by what I found. I soon realized how much information was out there on how to improve. I’m not the biggest giver in the world, but I figured I could at least give back when it came to golf book reviews. So, I left reviews for every golf book I read. All I ask is that others do the same.

The Golf Book by Steve Newell

Posted in Uncategorized on September 28th, 2010 by admin – 1,732 Comments

My latest read was The Golf Book by Steve Newell, which sells new for about $40, but which you can purchase used for less than $5. However, that discount is not indicative of what awaits you inside The Golf Book. Newell begins with a riveting history of the game itself, and then he smoothly transitions into the history and details of the game’s most prestigious tournaments.

That serves as a launching point for discussing the various famous courses around the world and considering the key events played out on them. I think what I love most about the book is the diversity of the material. I consider myself quite knowledgeable about the game’s history, but there were many interesting stories here that I had never heard of. All golf fans should add this book to their queue.

The Little Book of Golf Tips

Posted in Uncategorized on September 13th, 2010 by admin – 963 Comments

The Little Book of Golf Tips by Eddie Lester is now available as a free Internet resource called The Little “Online” Book of Golf Tips. This is a sensible read, and Lester gears many of the tips toward the mental game, which is where most novice players struggle. However, there’s enough insight here for even the intermediate players to learn something valuable. The book even digs down into philosophies about playing the game. This is a danger area for golf resources because many of them end up coming across as self-help rhetoric, but Lester always manages to maintain a steady keel throughout. We especially like how he encourages people to print The Little “Online” Book of Golf Tips and pass it around to their friends. The only thing he asks is that people do not recreate the guide online without his permission.

Read More Than One Golf Book Review Before Ordering

There are a ton of golf instruction books on the market today and while many of them are worth their weight in gold, this is not true for all of them. Before investing in golf instruction books, it is important to read what others have to say about them. Whether you read a professional golf book review or one written by an amateur, it is important to get a feel for the book before you plunk down your hard earned money.

You may find it more helpful to read a golf book review that is written by someone who is looking for the same kind of instruction as you are. That way, you can quickly assess how helpful the book actually is. Look for books written by golf pros who have had to face the same thing you are dealing with now.

Golf Courses Book

Posted in Uncategorized on April 9th, 2010 by admin – 1,526 Comments

An excellent gift idea for any golf enthusiast would be a golf courses book. A golf courses book is a book that consolidates information for hundreds of different golf courses located across the country and the world. While one of these books can be a great piece of memorabilia, it is also quite functional and can actually improve someone’s play.

One way that a golf courses book could improve a person’s play is by giving details and tips on how to play each course. For example, one of these books could tell a golfer where to hit the ball on any given hole. This type of information could help a golfer set up the easiest possible shots and puts, which by the end of a round will shave strokes off of their score.

Golf Book Review Websites

Looking for a golf book review website? Finding the right golf book can be a challenging task, since books can be aimed at a wide variety of learning styles and levels of expertise. One great way to sort through what’s out there is by finding a golf book review website that you like.

When choosing a review site for golf books, make sure the site offers the information you need to make sure a book is right for you. Excerpts are a good way to make sure a book has a writing style you like, and many golf book review websites will describe the image quality and detail so you know if you will be able to use a book’s information to improve your golf game.

Different learning styles require different approaches.

It’s interesting how some people take golf instruction well and some people don’t. You can easily find people who are very talented and capable, but don’t learn well from a teacher. For those kinds of people, they may find that golf instruction from a book or DVD series is more helpful.

Some people just concentrate better when they are reading than when they are listening to people. It’s important for each person to find the right approach to learning so that he or she can excel, and that’s not only true with golf, but any field of endeavor. Even if you don’t learn well from a teacher in a one-on-one situation, that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed with golf instruction from other sources.

The best books about golf.

Posted in Uncategorized on February 9th, 2010 by admin – 1,927 Comments

There is a lot of debate out there about what might be the best golf book of all time. In my opinion, it would have to be “Ben Hogan’s 5 Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf”. This book is very useful, and a great starting point for any new golfer to examine. It’s a true classic of the genre, and I think it’s a very easy choice for the best golf book ever. I would also say that “Bobby Jones on Golf” is another wonderful choice for the beginning golfer, and should probably be tucked somewhere on any golf enthusiast’s shelf.

“And If You Play Golf, You’re My Friend,” by Harvey Penick

Posted in Uncategorized on December 7th, 2009 by admin – 565 Comments

The instant success of the “Little Red Book” set off a fire storm, creating the second book, “And If You Play Golf, You’re My Friend,” which picks up where the “Little Red Book” left off. Following the overnight success, strangers were knocking on Mr. Penick’s door wanting a lesson or an autograph or both. Mr. Penick would always inscribe the book with “To my friend and pupil.” Bud Shrake, his co-author would ask how could he do that? Mr. Penick would simply reply if they read his book, they were his pupil — if they played golf, they were his friend.

Mr. Penick uses the same sage and simple wisdom as in his first book. Using simple language and common images, he removes the mystery and frustration of this game that so often engulfs us. His love and passion for the game shines through on every page in every story.
