Book Reviews of How I Play Golf
Book Review: Get this Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have really enjoyed reading this book. Even if you are a novice to Golf like myself, this book is easy to understand. It gives you lots of pictures and hints to help you play better golf. This is not the cure all for your golf game but it will help.Book Review: Golf Instruction by Tiger
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband is LOVING this book. Very specific, useful instruction "from the greens, back to the tee" from the master. Clear descriptions with photo examples. Terrific!Book Review: Golfer's Alert!: Run, Don't Walk, and Buy this Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
You've seen all the golf how-to's: lots of text, smallish pictures, boring layouts... watching grass grow would be more exciting.I'm a book editor: I read and evaluate books for a living. When I first laid eyes on HOW I PLAY GOLF, the hairs on my arms stood on end.
You will not find, at any place nor for any price, a book about golf(!) that's more interesting or downright exciting to read. The experience is more like savoring. You'll turn every page reverently and won't skip a word. Tiger extends his passion for the game, as well as his storied perfectionism, to the pages of his book. You'll hear his voice as you read it, and will come away feeling as though you know a bit more about the man with--let's face it--frightening talent. He's willing to share, though, and he is patient and generous with his explanations. The photography is superlative and the sidebars are filled with charming caricatures of the young Master giving us all tips, hope, and encouragement that we can actually achieve some of the magic he performs with his clubs and a little dimpled ball. There are gatefolds that open to show his stance and the progression of his swing. It's a beautiful thing to see, even frozen in photographs.
This is the perfect gift for the golfer in your life, especially if it's yourself. I'd recommend that you buy it for a holiday gift, but that's really much too long to have to wait to enjoy this spectacular volume.
By the way, I wouldn't know a driver from a divot. I do not play golf, but I do know a killer book when I see one. And this book is AWESOME.
Book Review: Good coffee table golf book
Summary: 4 Stars
Just like the author of it, the book is heavyweight, literally. In fact, this book is so heavy I can't hold them in bed for more than 10 minutes.
About the contents, the editors of golf digest definitely have done a good job putting up this book. Although, in my opinion, it's not much different from their "break 100, 90 and 80". In this regard, this book is no better or worse than others on the market. The information is there, but what feels like a "relaxed and poised swing" could mean 350 yards to Tiger and 150 yards to you. Then again, it's hard to describe a "feel" with words.
Overall, this is a good book if not the best. Pretty much covered every aspect of the game. But by just reading it won't make you a better golfer, you still have to practice, a lot.
Book Review: Good for Intermediate to Advanced Players
Summary: 4 Stars
Lots of great tips interspersed with interesting stories from Tiger about past golf situations. Great pictures. This book doesn't start from square one, though, so is not the best choice for beginners. It makes a great book for intermediate to advanced players.
