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

Kellie Stenzel Garvin, a PGA and LPGA class-A teaching professional, has been golfing since she was 3 years old. In her book, The Women's Guide to Golf, she attempts to teach the woman golfer who has not. Assuming the reader has no prior knowledge of the game, she explains everything. The chapters are set up as lessons, the first ones covering the course, the ball, the hole, and the equipment. The simplicity of these first lessons may seem a little insulting--after all, a beginning golfer is not the same as a beginning reader. But when she discusses grip in lesson 5, pay attention--that's when Stenzel Garvin starts to shine. With the aid of 75 black-and-white photos, she takes the novice golfer through the basic points of putting and the short game before moving on to the full swing. Two of the most valuable lessons aimed at helping the beginner avoid the pitfalls that would make her stand out: step-by-step instructions for going to the driving range to hit a bucket of balls and playing a round of golf. "Fake it 'til you make it" is her mantra. Left-handed golfers be warned, this book is written strictly from a right-handed perspective, so all instructions will have to be translated. --Suzanne SextonRead More

  • Product Description

    Throughout her teaching career, Kellie Stenzel has been continually asked to recommend a beginning golf instruction book for her female students to read. She researched the market and found nothing suitableâ??most books are too technical for the beginner and assume that the reader already has some familiarity with the game. This became the inspiration for The Womenâ??s Guide to Golf, a well-crafted and easy-to-understand golf instructional for women who are new to the game.

    Each section of the book provides a complete explanation of the skills needed to play golf. Ideas are presented in a clear and simple mannerâ??golf lingo is translated into every-day English whenever possible so the reader can easily understand. Since students must have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish before they can learn, Kellie Stenzel starts at the very beginning and gives detailed explanations of basic concepts. For example, she explains what a putter looks like, what a putting green looks like, and what the goal of putting is, before teaching the reader how to putt. In addition, since womenâ??s learning style is very different from menâ??s, this book also addresses specific womenâ??s issues, such as posture and lack of distance.

    This book includes

    - a thorough explanation of the game
    - easy-to-understand instructions
    - suggestions on how to avoid embarrassment as a beginner
    - simple ways to remember what youâ??ve read
    - great anecdotes from the authorâ??s experiences as a golfer and a teacher
    - over 75 black-and-white photos

    The Womenâ??s Guide to Golf is one of the most accessible and comprehensive golf instructionals ever written for womenâ??it is the perfect book for any woman who wants to learn the game.
