Golf For Dummies

This is a must-see for a beginner golfer. The instructor mixes easy-to-understand instructions with humor and helpful hints.

Easy to understand

Golf for Dummies is pretty much what you would expect if you are familiar with the "for dummies" series. As a novice golfer, I really appreciated the fact that the DVD was presented in such a matter that assumes that the viewer knows little or nothing about golf. I had only golfed twice before i saw this video (Best ball in groups for fun), and I must say that I could not get ONE ball airborn. After watching the part of this DVD about the golf swing twice, i was finally able to make decent contact and get elevation. The instructions were insightful and presented in a fun way. 4 weeks later, i can consistantly drive the ball 190-220 yards. i know that may not be impressive to most, but believe me. it is a QUANTAM LEAP from where I was as late as two months ago. I highly recommend this DVD for beginners. it's entertaining, fun and VERY informative.

Though used it was not abused. Serves my purpose

goo hints on putting, chipping and pitching … which i need!

This is a great DVD and it's not just for beginners although it focuses only on the basics. That's what makes it good though, by focusing on the basics. I am an infrequent golfer but by reviewing this DVD before I play I can go out and more or less hit the ball where I'm aiming and have fun. That's what it's all about. I've watched this DVD many times and it's very entertaining, not too long and doesn't overcomplicate things. It's the best!!

This is a great DVD for someone trying to learn the game of golf. It has a funny side while teaching, which make you pay attention. I have learned so many useful things the pro probably told me, but it did not make an impression. This guy is a hoot.

Gary McCord does a great job in this intro to golf. It's a big subject, but he brings it down to basics in a fun and engaging way. If I had to make any criticism, I'd say he could have stressed the weight shift for the full swing more - been more explicit. The trouble-shooting section at the end was excellent! I would have added my own downfall, hitting fat on the full swing (relates to the weight shift, aforementioned). Overall the perfect introduction to the game!
