GOLF MAGAZINE'S BIG BOOK OF BASICS: Your step-by-step guide to building a complete and reliable game from the ground up WITH THE TOP 100 TEACHERS IN AMERICA

A friend lent me the Big Book of Basics to improve my game. He swore by it. After reading through it and following some of the lessons and drills, I agreed with him so much that I gave him back his copy and bought my own. Outstanding in every respect. The instructions are clear and concise, from basics like grip and elements of a good swing, to very advanced lessons on working your way out of rough or bunker trouble. Photography is picture perfect. Highly, highly recommended for all skill levels from novice to pro.

Nice series of articles. They are well written with good diagrams and the best part is the section on the drills for each of the many lessons. As with any tutoring, you need to be patient and diligent. You can't expect to go out on the pro tour just using these. In just 3 months of use, my swing has become much better and over all play much more enjoyable. You have to stick with the lessons and practice. I enjoy the game much more now after using this series and would highly recommend their use for golfers at my level which is about a 25 handicap.

A good collection of How-to articles written by teachers of golf. It's fairly comprehensive but doesn't address the club purchase and availability in the market. An enjoyable read and reference to play the game.

Good book...in print. But, it does NOT display at all on "non-Amazon" Kindles, and even on my Paperwhite 3G, it is absolutely unreadable, especially text around photos. I've bought well over 400 Kindle e-books, and this is the ONLY ONE that I've ever had to return for "quality issues". It will not display on anything properly.Buy the Print book...skip the e-book, at least until someone reprograms/reformats it properly for ALL devices.

If you want to truly understand how to properly swing your club, Chapter 2 is a must read. Using excellent photos and effective drills, Mike Perpich does a superb job of teaching the swing basics. If I could only have three golf books, I would select the Big Book of Basics, Tamayo's Swing Simple Secret and Scarff's Hit Down book. Combined, they give the reader a comprehensive instructions and a true understanding of the golf swing.

I just picked this up off of kindle because my golfing is less than pro:-). It seems like a super deal at under fifteen bucks. There are tips from one hundred pros, so if I can't improve at least a little from that I should try knitting maybe.

Content of the magazine is informative but somewhat contradictory between the different instructors. However, the biggest problem with the Kindle download is that the text is not aligned with the portion (bubble) intended for that particular information. It sometimes overlaps the illustration and makes the dialogue difficult, if not impossible to read. I don't know if this is a flaw in the magazine or just a malfunction in the download to my Kindle Paperwhite. Is there a way to correct the alignment? Have any of your other costumers experienced and reported this problem? You might try a download to view the problem. If it's not a flaw with your download, is it possible to forward another download to my Kindle? Respectfully, J. D.

If you are new to golfing and want to learn the basics from gripping the club through measuring your shots than this is the book for you.

I liked this book from the first page, its set out in easy to understand pictures followed with the text and drills that can only make sense, i find that any particular area i not happy with in my golf the answer is in there. and i take it to the range for reference or when practising in the gardenA good example is slicing : after only 2 weeks of 30 mins a day practice and following the diagrams slowly and then building up speed my shots have straightened out with the driver, and in fact i am starting to get a slight draw instead of the continual exaggerated fade.For the price of the book its worth every penny just for that.Happy golfing

Exactly what I needed

it's definitively a good book with advises and nice pictures to understand the key points to improve and fix. But My point is that there are few contracdiction with the book ''Golf The Best Instruction Book Ever'' by the same editor.

This is an excellent book to help you with your struggles. It is extremely well written and the photos are a bonus. I continually pick up little nuggets of info that I missed before.

It's a awesome book it's really helping me improving my game I am happy and enjoying my game thank you
