If you are in the market for a great book on golf, you might consider purchasing “Swing the Clubhead” by Ernest Jones. It’s not a new golf book, but the advice he gives is still very usable. In some ways this game hasn’t changed a whole lot, and even old instructional manuals like this can be very handy. Another wonderful book on golf is “Golf My Way” by Jack Nicklaus. He is one of the great examples of amazing players that also makes a really good teacher, and his book is a wonderful resource for any golfer. Any learning golfer should consider purchasing both of these as soon as possible.

Following “The Little Red Book” and “And if You Play Golf, You’re My Friend,” the third book in the series, “For All Who Love the
Game,” focuses on “Lessons and Teachings for Women.” Once again, Harvey Penick writes a simple golf instruction book that reflects on
the many women, both amateurs and professionals, from whom he had the privilege of teaching or learning.

Using the same simple language and clear images that made his first two books international best-sellers, Mr. Penick’s insightful wisdom for women golfers is timeless. His techniques to help women gain more power and distance and to determine when and where to outplay their male counterparts are priceless nuggets of gold. He teaches how every woman, regardless of her atheletic abilities, can play and enjoy golf to its fullest.

Regardless of your experience or lack thereof, this book is a must read for all women golfers!
