It is estimated that half a million women now play golf in the UK and new golfers are taking up the game at the rate of 10,000 each year. With interest in the women's professional game also increasing, it is just the right time to be launching this up-to-date book on golf instruction for women. From the basics of the grip, stance and posture - much of which is unique to women golfers - she goes on to show how to save crucial strokes around the green and how to play those problem shots out of hazards. For those who have recently taken up the game, she also gives advice on how to mark a card and the stableford system of handicapping.
