Every golfer wants to score under 100; however, less than 20% are able to play that well. A huge amount of the 80% over 100 could break that 100 barrier if they would make the right decisions while they are playing the game. This book is one of the few golf books that doesn't try to improve the skill level of the golfer, but rather improves his game with the skill that he has. The book is also for the golfer who is just getting started with the game. Even though new golfers are a long ways from being able to break 100, they can still look like they belong, on the golf course by getting to know the proper etiquette and the proper terminology. This book will do that, plus give them a knowledge about the types of games that are commonly played and will give a good understanding of the rules of golf. Even people who do not intend to play golf but enjoy watching it on television should read this book to get a better understanding of the game so watching tournaments will be more enjoyable.

You may ask yourself "Why the hell is this book so skinny? It must be a real piece of crap".

Just hit a great tee shot to only find that you landed in a bunker with a plugged lie? Instead of getting pissed and complaining about fried eggs, turn to page 53 and focus on the 6 tips you need to know to get the damn ball out. You may even be able to get up and down, but you may need to brush up on your putting techniques as outlined in the "Putting" section of the book.The tips in this book were combined through surveying club pros from around country.

This will be beneficial when making specific notes about your game. For example, the average length of your drive in varying conditions (e.g. wind in your face, no wind, wind at your back). Or, you can make a note of what club works best when hitting a punch shot. For those of you looking for an in-depth book on swing techniques, golf psychology, and other nuances, this book is not for you. Instead, go buy a different book and read it cover to cover. When your game does not improve, come back and buy this book.Note that all tips in this book are based on right-handed golfers.

Talk to any and all golfers, be they Tour professionals or once-a-month country clubbers, and you'll hear that they want to improve their game in some way. But up until now, most expert books on golf instruction have focused only on the approach advocated by a particular teaching pro or famous player; the authors usually talk about "the golf swing" or "the putting stroke" as if there is only one way to do it -- their way. With How to Learn Golf, the first comprehensive guide to contemporary golf instruction, Harry Hurt III will help you become a better golfer by identifying what type of player you really are, and which of the several leading methods are right for you and your golfing goals. Based on Hurt's sessions with all of America's top ten instructors, this book helps you choose between the two main types of golf instruction available -- error correction, which offers a quick fix for a specific swing flaw, and swing development, where the focus is on building the swing from top to bottom. Hurt provides illuminating detail on the most effective approaches to improving each aspect of your golf game: putting, the full swing, the short game, and the all-important mental game. Hurt also includes a biographical listing of the best golf instructors nationwide and where their expertise lies, so you can determine who may be best suited to your needs. And if you've never sought an instructor before or you've had problems communicating with yours, there are two handy worksheets: eighteen questions you should ask your teaching pro and eighteen questions your pro should ask you. From beginners and high handicappers to scratch players and Tiger Woods wannabes, golfers of all skill levels looking to take the next step to improving their games need only look to How to Learn Golf.
