Golf For Dummies Introduction Welcome to Golf For Dummies, 3rd Edition. If this is the first golf book you’ve ever read, don’t worry. I’ve read more of them than I can count. Plus, I’ve had a chance to go back over everything I wrote in the first two editions and make it even clearer and funnier. My first thoughts about writing Golf For Dummies were no doubt similar to your present feelings about golf. I knew that I wanted to do it, but I also knew that it would take a lot of my time and attention. Did I want to devote most of my spare time to an endeavor that was so hard? Why not? I haven’t given anything back to society in a while! Besides, the whole thing sounded like fun. So is golf. About This Book I want this book to appeal to players at every level. Although my buddies on the PGA Tour will probably read it just to see if I can construct a sentence, I like to think that I have something to offer even the best golfers. The guys I grew up with at San Luis Rey golf course in Southern California will check out Golf For Dummies to see whether I’ve used any of their funniest lines. And I hope that the title will pique the interest of many people who have never played the game. In any case, you have in your hands a sometimes-funny, instruction-packed, wide-eyed look at a game full of fascination that will serve you for the rest of your days on the links. This, then, is no ordinary golf-instruction book. Most of the volumes you can find in your local bookstore are written by professional players or teachers. As such, these books focus solely on the golf swing. Golf For Dummies covers a lot more than the swing. This book ought to be the only book you need before you develop a golf dependency. (Please contact a physician when you feel the first symptoms coming on — frustration, talking to yourself after missing a shot, that kind of thing. These are the warning signs. Remember: From a medical standpoint, this book is cheaper than a visit to the doctor.)
