All Aspects of Golf

History, rules, courses and everything else a new golfer needs to know about the sport are accompanied by beautiful photography.

Excellent General Introduction To Golf History/Etiquette/Culture

This is an excellent primer for beginners and advanced. It covers all the aspects of golf to make you well informed about history, culture, rules, courses, etc.. DK Publishing is a British publisher. The Brits are masters of book making, design and illustration; and this book is reflective of this. It is very well written and illustrations are beautiful. I give it a four star rating only because it isn't The "Bible", so to speak; though it is worthy of the additional star. A must have.

Perfect Place to Start

"If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf." ~Bob Hope If you are new to Golf or want to learn more about courses and tournaments, then this is a great place to start. This book takes you from the origins of golf all the way to golf courses in Australia. Along the way you can read about practice sessions, how to select a putter and what to wear.
