Before I read this book I made several purchasing mistakes. The main point of the book is getting the clubs that are sized and weighted right for you. And though the author emphasizes getting custom made clubs, the information he gave on clubs proved invaluable. I did not go buy custom made clubs, but I did take the information and went and bought some clubs that were much more suitable for me — and, as the author promises, my game greatly improved. Right sizing is important! Check it out — you won’t regret it.

The problem is, there are lots of them, some of them are quite complicated, and some of them seem to make no sense. In addition to the rules, there is the whole matter of golf etiquette. Another whole set of things to learn. For instance, did you know you are not supposed to put your golf shoes on in the parking lot? I don’t know why, and it seems silly to me, but there you have it. Now you know. Not knowing this stuff when you get out on the course makes it clear to everyone that you are a newbie. So, it is worth putting some effort into learning the rules and the etiquette guidelines. I’ve included a link below to a book that might help you understand the rules better. For more information on this topic you can also go to a summary of the rules on my Rules Summary page. And yes, I am shamelessly monetizing this blog. A girl has to make a living.
