Review

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
