Review:

. . . a great read to motivate golfers. . .Home on the Range quickly may become the bible for golfers who recognize practice as the key to improvement. -- Golf Illustrated, April, 1998

. . . a useful winner. A well-organized book designed to be taken to a driving range for instant analysis and correction of a pattern of bad shots. -- The Seattle Times, August, 1996

. . .a run-of-the-range collection of tips, from the basics to solutions for specific problems. The book is well organized. . .the Faults and Fixes sections are personalized by McDonald's use of real people and their mistakes to demonstrate what's wrong and how to fix it. -- GOLF Magazine, January, 1998

. . .an insightful and generously illustrated discussion on self diagnosis, based on a sound understanding of the physics and biomechanics of the game. -- The Albuquerque Tribune, August, 1997

Doug McDonald's book ranks with the best. It's full of straightforward and practical advice. . . I really liked Doug's take-this-book-to-the-range approach. -- John Peoples, golf reporter (1988-1995), The Seattle Times

I'm very impressed. . . this is a great approach to instruction, and it should help the reader a great deal. -- Rick Fehr, PGA Tour, March, 1996

It is packed with information about life at the range: what to work on, how long and in what order to practice, warming up, what to wear, safety, and how to approach lessons. -- Golf Range Times Magazine, April, 1997

It is the most complete guide to golf on the market today. -- Inside Golf, July, 1997

Rather than make promises he couldn't back up or try to explain some convoluted theory about the game, McDonald has a novel approach. He simply tells you how to use the driving range, or how to practice. -- The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, October, 1996
