Perfect for every golfer – from the beginner to the expert and for those just wanting to know more about their favourite pastime – the Eyewitness Companion Guide: Golf covers every aspect of the game presented with DK’s traditional flair for good design and readability. Every one of its nearly 400 pages contains colour illustrations of the highest quality.
The book is edited by Richard Simmons of ‘Golf International‘ and the team of golf authors and journalists includes Nick Edmund, Dominic Pedler, Steve Newell and Jock Howard.
The guide begins with a history of the game, from its origins to the latest thinking in golf course design, and is followed by a crash course on understanding the basics of the game, using a scorecard and navigating the course. A 100-page section on how to play golf explains basic grips and stances, pitching and chipping, followed by advice on how to practise like a pro and tips on how to play strategic golf.
A further section features all the major tournaments, with brief histories and an account of the most memorable games from events such as The Masters and Ryder Cup. With 75 of the best golf courses in the world today, a local directory of websites, further reading, associations and retail outlets to provide the keen golfer with all he or she requires, this really is a first class illustrated guide to one of the world’s greatest games.
