I'm not a golfer, but I'd been interested in taking up the sport and wanting to learn more about it. This book is a boon. It explains everything you'd want to know and I'm sure even seasoned golfers would learn new things from this book. The remarkable thing about this book is that it unravels all the mystery around golf, yet in a manner that is simple and easy to understand.

It's not perfect by any means and there are a few glaring ommissions (why is a mulligan called a mulligan?) but I learned a lot from this book and I've been playing for several years. It wouldn't have been my first choice - there are bigger golf fact books out there by writers I'm more familiar with - but I'm glad my daughter gave it to me for my birthday. Tony Dear obviously knows his golf and has set out this book in a clear, easy to follow format.

I really enjoyed learning about golf with the help of this book. I am becoming increasingly interested in the game thanks to the exploits of Tiger Woods and so sought a book that would help me learn the sort of stuff most golfers should know.
This one offers a lot of facts about all the different aspects of the game without being in the least bit boring. There's still a lot I need to learn obviously but at least I can now get involved in a decent conversation about the game with my buddies without being embarrassed.
Just the sort of offering new golfers need to get a very sound understanding of this occasionally incomprehensible game.

Patchy, but interesting in places

I thought the title of the book was totally inappropriate because it answered many unnecessary questions about things I really don't need to know (nor I think would many golfers) but also missed out several that I do.
Having said that, it does offer a lot of information that is set out in a nice format.
If you've been a golf enthusiast for years I wouldn't bother with it, but if you're new to the game you will get an excellent grounding with this book.

This book is a great combination of hard facts and good entertainment. I only recently took up golf and needed something to help me become more familiar with all the different aspects of the game without buying some enormous 12 volume, 10,000 page door-stop. This was ideal. Some of it was still beyond my relatively loose grasp of the game but most of the information I found interesting and appropriate for my level.
