Good golf book for women

This was a very easy book to read and understand. I really wish I had read it when I first started playing a couple of years ago. Any time I can learn something, I consider it a plus and this was definitely a "Plus" book.

Keep It Simple!

This was the first golf instruction book I purchased (on the strong recommendation of my golf "mentor" who happens to be a man). I am very new to the game (six weeks) and wanted to keep focused on some simple, reasonable goals for learning and enjoying the game. Three shots: pitching, tee shot, and fairway shot are enough to keep me busy, but not so much as to feel overwhelmed. I found Sandra Foster's Ch 7 contribution to the book very helpful and encouraging. Persistence, optimism, and ability to focus are transferable skills, and I appreciate their specific application to learning the game of golf. This book certainly could not be considered an all-encompassing instruction and reference book. It *is* a useful approach for learning and developing one's game because it does "keep it simple." Using the Cole and Foster method, I have begun to learn and to see progress in the fundamentals of grip, address, and swing. Since my own tendency is to gather too much information, confuse myself, and then give up, I have chosen to use Cole and Foster's book as a basic primer. Better (in my opinion) to focus on a few basics that lay a good foundation for me (or can "jump-start" a more seasoned player) than to attempt too broad a range of skill mastery and become discouraged. This book fills the bill for me at this point in my learning curve, and I have strongly recommended this book to other friends of the game.

Janet Coles gets right to the point.

Janet Coles has summed up golf for women with basic, easy to follow methodology. I work with Janet and am very well aware of the success of her students, both male and female. I have also spent more than a few hours sharing the driving range with her, and am proud to say that through patience and humor, she has helped me overcome my "range-rage affliction". I was so thrilled that she put her teaching philosophies in print so that she can reach women throughout the country, not just the ones near enough to take a private lesson with her.
