KISS Guide to Playing Golf (Keep It Simple Series)

Amazon.com
The K-I-S-S of the title is built on four letters every golfer can benefit from. They form the acronym for Keep It Simple, Stupid, and if there’s any game that suffers from overcomplication, overthinking, and the overall instructional overload that brings on paralysis by analysis, it’s golf. The KISS Guide delivers on its titular promise. Its easygoing attitude, straightforward text, and crisp photography combine to keep a complex and tradition-rich game clear enough for a beginner to understand, while offering much to more seasoned duffers. Before it begins to provide the kind of basic instruction that’ll get novices up and running, it breezes through some of the important history, rules, and etiquette that every golfer needs to know. Then, the deeper into the book you get, the deeper into the game it goes–with tips, strategies, drills, and solid advice on equipment and lessons. Like a good shot, this is an eye-catching instructional with distance and accuracy, and what golfer doesn’t pray daily for just a little more of both? –Jeff Silverman

My husband’s brother just gave him a whole set of clubs and while he has been playing golf now and then, he wanted to know more about the rules of golf. If we had to choose one book, this would be it. It is comprehensive and filled with colorful pictures.

If you are just learning to play golf this KISS guide will give you all the information you need. To get started, you need to find a course and choose the right equipment for your game. There are specialty shots for difficult situations, various clubs to select and basic rules and etiquette to follow. Golf is a sociable sport that allows people of all ages to compete with the intention of achieving their personal best.

If you have been playing golf for some time, this guide will help you to sort out those nagging problems that are holding you back from your perfect game. Chapter 15-24 will be of interest to experienced golfers. If you are having trouble with direction or distance there is a solution. Learn how to play in stormy weather or enhance your accuracy. The next step might be competing with other players in a tournament.

After an inspirational foreword by Colin Montgomerie, you will enjoy reading about the history of the game, how and where the game is played, the basic rules, why it is the last friendly game and how and why a golf ball flies. So, what equipment will you need? How can you get the perfect golf grip, what are the basics of a good swing and how do you master the basics of putting?

The Internet also offers countless sites and there are quite a few Web sites listed. A glossary explains all the golf terms like Ace, Bunker, Collar, Flex, Hosel, Lie, Splash, Wristy and Yips. The Index will save you time if you want to look up specific details of the game.

If I had to choose one golf book, this would be it!

When I wanted to get started with golf I picked up this book. Easy to understand, with simple instructions and explanations. It also has the clearest overview of the basic rules of the game that I’ve seen. Even the hardest part of any book on golf, the swing, is covered pretty well - I at least have the intellectual knowlege now to on swinging the club. Great book.
