Golf: The Fundamentals

It is estimated that there are over 25 million golfers in the United States alone. For all of these—whether they are twice-a-year players, weekly regulars, or golfing professionals—golf is more than just a game. It is often referred to as a journey of discovery—self-discovery, discovery of new places, and discovery of new friends. However, the journey is infinitely more rewarding when one understands the basic fundamentals of the game before starting off on the wrong path.

Whether you are just starting out or are a skilled golfer, Golf: The Fundamentals provides the essentials for improving your game and increasing your enjoyment. Written by two golf instructors, this book gives golfers technical directions and tips for staying on the path to success.
