I bought this book after walking away unhappy with "Golf for Dummies" (2nd ed.). This book is so much better, because it focuses on things a beginner golfer needs to know, instead of trivia we don't really care about. After reading this book I have improved my swing and hit as well as picked out a good club set with the help of the chapter on clubs. I'll read this book over and over again as I become hooked on golf.

The Women's Guide to Golf: A Handbook for Beginners

The Women's Guide to Golf: A Handbook for Beginners

The Women's Guide to Golf: A Handbook for Beginners by Kellie Stenzel
Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $2.87
Usually ships in 24 hours

If you know nothing about golf or just want a refresher course, this is, by far, the best book out there.
Teaching pro Kellie Stenzel clearly aims this book at beginners, those afraid of being embarrassed on the course. In a friendly, forgiving tone (she even recommends that beginners take practice shots from traps), Garvin covers basic golf swing mechanics, rules, etiquette, lessons, cost-cutting, training aids, range practice, handicaps, gender discrimination, and even how to drive a golf cart. Her approach is "fake it 'til you make it";. Most useful are the cues or tips she gives her students to increase their success. Also unique is her discussion of dealing with the "Prince Charming Syndrome": men who give unsolicited advice to women golfers.

Mind Gym : An Athlete's Guide to Inner Excellence

Mind Gym : An Athlete's Guide to Inner Excellence

Mind Gym : An Athlete's Guide to Inner Excellence by Gary Mack

Mind Gym is one of my favorite books to pickup whenever I need a little inspiration and encouragement. While the many stories and quotes are derived from the world of professional athletics, the book is really about creating excellence in one's life with applicability to any pursuit and any profession. The main theme is that once one reaches a certain level of competency, the level he achieves in performance will be determined by how well he learns to utilize his mind. With this, the author takes us on a fascinating tour of the minds of some of the world's greatest coaches and athletes; their successes, their challenges, and the mental tools they employed to succeed. To borrow a line from the book, "it takes years of hard work to become an overnight success", Mind Gym is an excellent coach along the way.

I preordered this book before it was released because I've heard so much about Stack and Tilt. When it came, I was excited. The ideas are great and incorporating parts of it into my swing has already made a major difference in by accuracy and distance. I'm looking forward to getting the entire swing down. Now - if I could just learn to put.
