Summary: This book makes you want to "Just do it"!
Comment: The only reason I would not give this book a 10 is I have not read all the golf books there are. Gary McCord suggests some other books that I will read in the future. In this book you gain a real desire to take up golf and learn to play correctly. Gary McCord makes you feel that with some work even you can have a good game of golf. You get to feel some of Gary's comical personality in this book. This is definately not a dry technical manual. And not only is it a very good learning tool, you will also find it very entertaining. When you start reading the book it will become very hard to put it down. I highly suggest this as a first book for beginning golfers as Gary has successfully taken the mystery out of golf. - John Holm - "A beginning golfer by my own admission."

Summary: Full of 'Tips and Quips'. I just can't put it down.
Comment: As someone who is new to golf I need all the help I can get. I found the text very informative and easy to follow. The author's sense of humour make the read all the more enjoyable and he certainly doesn't mind admitting his own mistakes as an aid to help others learn.
Following the exercises and instructions in the book has helped me a lot and I can now hit the ball almost every time (getting it to go in the right place may take a little longer). The photos demonstrating the techniques are okay but would be better if they were perhaps in colour and some could be slightly larger (mind you this would probably put the cost up). Other than that I can't find any fault with the book at all.
I would reccommend this book to anyone (I have already) who wishes to improve their game. It addresses all the areas I need to cover and keeps me laughing when my entire game is falling apart.
Rating: 2
Summary: OK on the basics.
Comment: Had a good section on grip, alignment, etc. Equipment and fitness sections in my oppinion haven't kept up with the changes in the game.
