Beautiful instruction because of its simplicity. Perfect for the beginner but still excellent for the good player. Entertaining as well. You'll wish you had known Harvey
If you love the little red book this is more of the same. Its like sitting on a porch on a summer evening and just listening to a well respected caddy's pearls of golf wisdom. A very easy read
This book will increase your knowledge and feel for the game. Can't say enough good things about it. Even when I hate the game, I'll sit down and reread a chapter and find myself booking my next tee time
Like a grandfather telling you about golf's old times and his experiences.. pretty cool but gets a little irrelevant.. perhaps I'm just young and new to the game
