Reviews

Golf instructional: The phrase conjures up another short-shelf-life photo album featuring a perfect-swinging pro pounding laser beams out of sight. Perish the thought with this well-designed, rewarding guide by the teacher of Tiger Woods. Addressing three player types (A, a single-digit handicapper; B, who longs to score in the 70s; and C, a short-driving slicer who dreams of breaking 90 [like this reviewer]), Harmon walks them over an imaginary round that consist of 18 "real-life" holes, including the most televised par 3s in America--hole 7 at Pebble Beach and hole 12 at Augusta. So off the first tee, this lesson has two mass-interest qualities: play on classy, history-soaked holes and advice from an expert beneficial to every level of regular weekend duffer. Harmon's stroke narrative makes sure A, B, and C make mistakes on every hole (no problem for C), and after they can their putts, he points out their errors, almost always mental. Attractively illustrated, this is an appealing three-in-one lesson. Gilbert Taylor
