4 out of 5 stars Very Easy to Use   November 30, 2008
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.



5 out of 5 stars The Best Instruction Book Ever!   November 10, 2008
Well done, Golf Magazine! I have been enjoying reading this book very much and I've been gleaning many helpful tips and ideas for improving my game. The presentation and layout of the book are very well done and the content is exceptional. I will be using this book for a long time to come and I'm very happy to add it to my library of golf instructional books.


3 out of 5 stars Mediocre and not systematic   September 10, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is comprised of tips from the top instructors in the country. However, this is a more of an annual for the Golf Magazine by reproducing the 'tips' that were published from the prior year. The title does not live up to its hyper or its name.

It is organized well and the short bullet format and clear illustrations are good.

However, this is not a system upon which you should base your learning. Different 'tips' may not work for a particular style of swing.

If you are one who learns from 'tips' AND you don't subscribe to the magazine, get this book.

If you want to learn something from scratch or are a routine/average hacker, stay away. You should adopt any one of the dozens of 'systems of instruction' and stick with one.

The following is a book of a similar genre covering tips to play better, not a system.

Breaking 100, 90, 80: Taking Your Game to the Next Level with the Best Teachers in Golf

VERDICT:

For most golfers, I do not recommend this book.

Packaged very well upon arrival. Cover is bent and book has a bad odor to it.

This book is complete and easy to read and understand. It also provides photos and diagrams to assist in the understanding of this sport.
