Golf Made Simple

Golf is more than a game; it’s a journey. Along the way we develop lifelong friendships, learn much about responsibility, commitment, the benefits of hard work, and more than anything else, ourselves. The game can and should provide each of us with a lifetime full of enjoyment.

Although golf is perhaps the fastest growing sport in the world, many take up the game and then quit shortly thereafter. Frustration is perhaps the biggest culprit behind this quick exodus. Golf can be tremendously frustrating to a beginner, especially one who tries to take on the challenge alone. There certainly is enough material available for the beginner who wishes to teach himself; however, the information can be quite confusing and simply make matters worse.

The purpose of this Golf Made Simple is to provide beginners, intermediate players, and advanced players with the simple fundamentals necessary to play the game of golf. It also provides students with a much-needed look at others areas of the game. Understanding terminology, the history, learning good etiquette, the basic rules, scoring, and a little about equipment is instrumental in becoming a good golfer. This book addresses both the mental and physical aspects of the game, the right and wrong way to practice, the short game, trouble shots and yes, even how to swing a golf club. The golf swing is simple, often times difficult only due to a lack of understanding. You must develop good fundamentals. With good fundamentals and practice anyone can learn to play and enjoy this game.
