The Women's Guide to Consistent Golf: Learn How to Improve and Enjoy Your Golf Game
Teaching pro Stenzel, the author of an excellent beginner's instructional calledThe Women's Guide to Golf(2000), now addresses intermediate women players, those who have experienced some success but still have trouble getting all the parts of their game to work at the same time. Her advice on the swing is straightforward and clearly explained, and she doesn't make the common mistake of trying to teach average players to swing like Tiger Woods. Much of the book is equally applicable to intermediate men players as well as women, but Stenzel does emphasize the parts of the game (using a full complement of fairway woods, for example) that are especially important for women, who typically don't hit the ball as far as men. Her chapters on chipping, pitching, and sand play are superb--good advice without the complexity that short-game guru Dave Pelz brings to the topic. A fine instructional for average golfers hoping to improve.Bill OttCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
