Customer Reviews

Useful format

This book uses hand drawn colored illustrations rather than photographs to present a large number of bite sized short golf lessons. This means that key points can be emphasised in the drawing and not lost in the overall detail of a photograph. It's a book for dipping into rather than reading cover to cover like a novel but I like it and it repays scanning through after each golf round to see if some aspect of my game could be improved.

A great reference and great for learning

Bought this book as a beginner golfer and was able to learn so much from it, including pitching. The tips and drills make it very easy to implement changes into your golf game. It is a great reference for experienced golfers too. Any time your game needs a tune-up, you can find the answer in this book.

this is a great seller. product arrived exactly as advertised and in great condition. fantastic seller....use with confidence

I don't play golf, but my dad does, and he loved it.

This book was my Christmas present to my dad who has been playing golf for 55 or so years, and he wrote the review that follows (I did, however, appreciate the illustrations in the book): "I am greatly impressed by the overall completeness of the book, as it seems to have a solid set of instructions for all possible shots and situations. Even more so, I was impressed with the lessons that are geared to the 'modern' swing methods of core rotation and elimination of any and all lateral movement. As an aspiring golf instructor working on certification, I think Private Lessons will become my manual, used for constant reference and reinforcement. My compliments." And I give myself a 5 for choosing such a good Christmas gift; it's April and he's still raving about it.
