A Great Guide to Recruit New Female Golfers

This is a great guide to introduce new female golfers to the sport, especially the "40 something" group who often feel intimidated by the protocol and mystique associated with the game. The book's brevity and practical information makes it an easy read for women who are juggling careers, families and other commitments. Having organized numerous casual golf outings during the past several years, I am all to familiar with the discomfort that new and even experienced female golfers share concerning their deportment and skill level on the course. Ann Kelly's guide helps to demystify a game that serves as both a great social and recreational outlet for women. I continue to recommend this book to all of my female friends who are considering taking up the game of golf or who are already hooked on the sport.

Little book, concise, helpful

***** This is a small, short book. In such a format, it is impossible to cover all of the basics and fundamentals of the golf culture to help a woman feel comfortable her first time on the golf course. That said, this book is a good attempt. If you only have a couple of hours to prepare, and you want to feel as comfortable as possible, I would recommend this book to very new women golfers. It includes a little bit of everything: terminology, culture, etiquette, rules, logistics and practicalities, how to dress, lingo, etc. It also includes some very helpful things that I personally liked: an actual scorecard with the different parts explained, a picture of the different irons, and a chart of hints for "picking up the pace" on the course. It is only 69 pages long so there is only so much that fits, but if you're busy, and you need a CRASH course to get ready, this is your book. ****

Feeling Naked on the First Tee

Feeling Naked on the First Tee is one of the best books for women golfers. The new golfer finds out how to start and not to feel foolish. The experienced golfer can brush up. There are a lot of traditions and unwritten rules in golf, Ms. Kelly addresses these and helps the new golfer start off on the right foot. Many of my male golfing friends are sneaking a peek - because there is something benifical for all golfers. I plan to purchase this book for all the women golfers on my Christmas list.There is something for everyone. Well written and it fits in a purse or brief case.A definate keeper!!

Don't Let The Color Fool You!

Extremely well written and openly honest, Ann Kelly's book is a "must" for women (and men) of all ages, experiencing the world of golf for the first time (or first twenty-five times)! We all start somewhere in this game and whether a public course or private - the rules and etiquette are the same. Ann describes beautifully the essential "need to know" strategies and advice required to begin the game with ease and self -confidence. This book has helped many individuals immensely, including myself, in beginning a game we are now hooked on and hope to enjoy for a lifetime! Well done Ms. Kelly!

This book helps to make golf fun!

Ann Kelly writes a fun little book that focuses on everything that the new golfer needs to know - what to wear, what to bring, which club to use, rules and tons of useful comments. She also does a great job of reminding the reader that golf is fun and that you are out on the course to enjoy yourself in a beautiful location. I'm sure that there are lots of tips in here for any golfer. And I like the fact that she doesn't take the game too seriously.
