In The Golf Handbook, golf pro Vivien Saunders starts by teaching the basic stance, grip, and swing that first-time players need in order to enjoy the game. The instruction progresses as the golfer's skill level does, and every shot on the course from the drive to the sand wedge, from putting to hitting out of the rough is taught in detail. The Golf Handbook's clear diagrams and easy-to-use tips make it the ideal guide for any player, from weekend duffer to low handicapper.

But The Golf Handbook isn't just about technique; it also addresses key questions about tactical play, fitness, and equipment. Plus, it's a great read, with sections on the history of golf, the greatest players of the game, and the famous courses where every golfer dreams of testing his or her skill, made complete with photographs.
