Summary

Never in its long history, dating back to medieval Europe, have more people been playing golf than now. Players like Tiger Woods have reinvigorated the sport, and dramatic live coverage of the world's top tournaments has catapulted the game into a billion-dollar industry. Yet, despite more players on the links than at any time in history, golf continues to pose as difficult a challenge as ever to beginners and professionals alike. THE COMPLETE GOLFER'S HANDBOOK provides a comprehensive overview of the sport, aimed at both the novice and the seasoned golfer. International golf star Gary Player--winner of nine Majors--shares his expertise through detailed step-by-step photographs that walk you through all the intricacies of the game, from correct grip and stance to achieving a successful swing. With chapters on the origins of golf, golf course design, and the ten greatest moments in modern golf history, THE COMPLETE GOLFER'S HANDBOOK is an indispensable addition to every golfer's bookshelf.
