Golf Book Review

Posted in Uncategorized on April 7th, 2011 by admin – 1,559 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.

Books On Golf

Buying books on golf is tricky. You have to know the author and what that author is known for. Is he wordy? Is he descriptive? Does he ramble? Is he straight to the point? Does he lighten things up with some humor from time to time? Does he use pictures and diagrams to make for easier reading and comprehension? Aside from figuring out more about the author, it’s also a good idea to head straight for the bargain books. Golf is a specialty category, which means there won’t be a ton of demand. This leads to many books on golf being placed in the bargain books section. When you buy books here, you save money. One golf book that really stands out and is still incredibly affordable is How I Play Golf by Tiger Woods.

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 – 1,751 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.

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.

Sacred Nine

I love this game more than I can express in words. I not only love practicing and playing the game, I love reading books about golf. I don’t just read training books. I love all books about golf. This includes the larger history of the game, personal histories, and the history of various golf courses. I’m like a golf book junkie. I will read any books about golf, and I just can’t get enough. I’ve read most of what the local bookstore and local library have to offer. Recently I have turned my attention to rare books about golf. I hunt for them online, such as eBay, and at used bookstores. My most recent acquisition is a charming read, The Sacred Nine, which has been out of print for nearly 20 years.

The best books about golf.

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.

Asking a golfer to choose his favorite PGA golf book is something that could be really difficult.

Like with many subjects, books on golf have become quite popular and many players will pick up just about anything that’s written down on paper.

So what is the best PGA golf book out there? In reality, it is the one that’s the most fun to read for the person doing the reading. Some people get pumped about stories from golfers on tour. Some get their kicks from seeing all of the PGA courses. Whatever the case, that is the good thing about the golf book industry. It is truly a “something for everyone” type of market that is full of really good works.
