Golf can make you smile, but it can just as easily make you cry. From the moment you make that unforgettable first contact with a golf ball you will be hooked (or could that be sliced?) The key to the success of Steve Duno's Guide to Playing Golf is that it does what it says: keeps it simple by building on the basics before striding out onto those unforgiving fairways. The book acts as your caddie and best friend--whatever your standard. If you've never picked up a club or if you are trying to whittle your handicap down to single figures there will be something for everyone. There are 24 chapters which are each split into easy-to-understand sections with diagrams, photographs and handy hints and useful tips for every situation you are likely to come across before, during and after a round.

More than just being a teaching manual, though, the great thing about the book is that just as your golf improves, so the book becomes even more valuable. There are also numerous Internet addresses for useful golf-related sites. And you never know, when you get into the swing of things, the section covering golfing vacations may be just your cup of tee. --Andrea Bullock
