Increased leisure time and wide media coverage have helped to make the game of golf more popular than ever. Unlike many other sports, golf does not discriminate against older players or those who are not particularly fit. Emphasizing technique rather than strength or stamina, golf is a competitive game of skill, social pastime and source of exercise. This fully illustrated reference is aimed at the relative beginner and seasoned player alike. Each of the ten chapters looks at a particular aspect of the game, offering advice on how to avoid problems, improve technique and overcome the faults which may be preventing players from lowering their scores. The text is the work of a team of golfing experts, compiled by a pro, Paul Foston, who spends much of his time teaching.
