Amazon.com Review:
If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemonwedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by CBS commentator GaryMcCord, one of the game's most colorful--andknowledgeable--characters. It's a wonderful, often hilarious, neverboring introduction to the game. Don't let the foreword by KevinCostner or the afterword by Hootie and the Blowfish confuse the issue;this is a terrifically sound, easy-to-follow primer. McCord'spotato-chip drill--yes, potato-chip drill--will revolutionize yourswing, and your thinking, with overtones that could spill directlyinto off-the-course existence, as well.

Rating:  - Useful Info for beginner and intermediate golfer alike

I was going to read it cover-to-cover, but ended up skipping the majority of "The Part of Tens" which covers such things as the author's ten favorite private and public golf courses, and the ten favorite ...

Rating: - Worth it
Read this book in conjunction with the golf book for dummies on etiquette.Both worth the read, though you cannot learn to play golf with either book.It will however, get you into the culture, become aware of how to approach the game and avoid many pitfalls.
