Summary

Even though there are distinct differences in the way women and men swing a golf club, instruction has almost always been presented from the male perspective. Venus on the Fairway is designed to bridge that instructional gender gap. Women will learn to create their own swing, from the grip and setup to the full-swing and getting the most distance. Also included are fitness tips and a discussion of essential rules and etiquette.
