I was totally taken by surprise when I received the book – yes, in hardcover – that was no larger than my palm. While humorous, I know little more than before I read the book. I was trying to be less ignorant about golf, but the glossary of terms was poorly done. I still don’t know what “par” means!

This book is not funny–full of not-funny jokes. (Um, who the hell is Dick Clark, anyway?) IDG tries to get you to buy their books by putting esoteric material in layman’s terms, along with a liberal sprinkling of jokes. Some of their books are funny and well-written, this one is not. I do not recomend this book. It hasn’t helped. I could have spent the money on another golf lesson. I am still reading through it, but it is slow going and painful. I can’t afford another book. Too bad huh? Definitely go on a recommendation instead of buying blind.

what a ripoff. the “miniature version” is stashed in the details, not placed in the title. the reviews are for the full version. and now i feel like “amazon shopping for dummies”. i have absolutely no use for a 2″x2″ book on anything.

This is the worst golf instruction book I have ever read. Inadequate swing mechanics, not anywhere enough detail on technique, incomplete discussion of the swing. I’ve read about twenty books on golf instruction and this ranks dead last.

There are more to these For Dummies books than many people would think. The author’s sense of humor, knowledge, and clear descriptions combined with the easy to understand and follow, For Dummies format make for an informative, enjoyable, and useful book. I think this book would also be useful for intermediate golfers. The illustrations would be a good review.
