Good Golf Made Easy by Tony Dear
This is a simple guide to the game of golf for the absolute beginner -- someone who has always wanted to play the sport but has never known how to get started. Good Golf Made Easy is the first book to embrace the needs of the 'new' golfer, explaining, in the simplest terms, the methods by which they can construct an effective swing and get the maximum enjoyment from the game. By way of introduction there is a definition of key on-course terms and a thorough guide to all the necessary equipment and useful advice to help the player buy their first set of clubs. The book then takes to the course, aiming to slowly teach the player how to achieve a simple but effective swing. The author begins by tackling the fundamentals of grip, stance and posture; subsequent chapters introduce the takeaway and downswing, and there are also sections on the short game and putting. Separate sections contain basic tips and practice drills to help the new golfer get the most out of the different aspects of their game. Good Golf Made Easy unravels the mysteries of golf for the first-timer. It takes a look behind the complexities of the golf swing and cumbersome terminology and makes it a sport that really can be mastered by anyone.
