Publisher's Synopsis
Interest in golf in the U.S. is at an all-time high, and the largest single group describing themselves as aspiring golfers are women. This latest addition to the acclaimed "Woman's Guide" series addresses the unique concerns of those estimated 24 million women who either have already been bitten by the golf bug or who will soon try their hands at golf for the first time. Avid golfer and writer, Susan Comolli Davis covers the game from the inside out, from its allure as both a business and recreational pastime to the nuts-and-bolts of choosing the best instructional method, buying equipment, learning your way around a golf course, developing a repertoire of strokes, basic fitness, and advanced techniques. And, as with all the books in the "Woman's Guides" series, the text is enlivened throughout by the voices of women of all ages and walks of life, who share their insights and experiences on the course, including Hall of Fame Golfers Nancy Lopez and Kathy Whitworth.
