TIlE COMPLETE BOOK
OF GOLF
Is a definitive guide to the greatest,
and possibly the most taxing game in
the world.
Learn about:
Ins and outs of the golf swing
and course strategy
Great golf courses and how to tackle them
Stars of the game and
their differing talents and careers
History of golf and the modern-day game
Essential rules that every golfer
should know
When is a fade not a fade but a slice,
or a draw not a draw but a hook?
How do you play a punched pitch that
checks quickly on the green, or a raking
long iron from the fairway? All the answers
and techniques for a complete golf game
are covered in detail in The Complete Book
of Golf.
Whether you are a total beginner or an
experienced single-figure player, here are
a whole host of instructional articles that
will make you into a better golfer. Concisely
written, and illustrated with color pho-
tographs and artwork, they are easily under-
standable and don’t blind you with science.
With practice, this comprehensive guide
to the critical techniques and the more sub-
tle strategy of the game should give you
the edge over your fellow players.
As well as the instructional section, also
included in this book are enlightening
chapters on the star professionals, the
courses they play, and a behind-the-scenes
look at the game and its rules. The play-
ers’ life stories give an insight into the pro-
fessional mind, and along with swing
analyses and personal tips, this section will
also help you take strokes off your score.
Who better to learn from than the likes of
Severiano Ballesteros or Ian Woosnam?
The world’s finest championship courses
come under scrutiny, and you are taken
on a tour around each hole of the 16 lay-
outs featured. Find out what the best strat-
egy is to tackle the ‘Road Hole’ at St
Andrews or the dog-leg 18th at Valderrama.
It isn’t just hit and hope.
By the end of this book you should have
an in-depth understanding of the game,
and it will become an indispensable prob-
lem solver as well as a reference point for
all sorts of golfing information.
