Venus on the Fairway : Creating a Swing--and a Game--That Works for Women

Despite the distinct differences in the way women and men should swing a golf club, golf instruction has almost always been presented from the male perspective. In Venus on the Fairway, Debbie Steinbach bridges that instructional gender gap by teaching a body-and-mind method for women only.

With the aid of step-by-step instruction, helpful photography, and simple visual keys, women golfers will learn to play better golf by keeping things simple--from basic grip and setup fundamentals to the full swing. Rather than overload the reader with highly technical swing instruction, Steinbach emphasizes practical drills that teach how to "feel" key swing movements, reinforced by a simple and positive teaching style. Steinbach also helps readers choose the right equipment, explains essential rules and etiquette tips, and offers useful advice on playing with male counterparts.

For women entering the game for the first time or anyone looking for a fresh start, Venus on the Fairway teaches an improved method and ensures that they have fun while learning.

Debbie Steinbach played the LPGA Tour for eleven years before becoming and LPGA teaching professional. Ranked as one of the top fifty instructors in the country by Golf for Women magazine, Steinbach teaches at The Reserve in Indian Wells, California.
