Customer Reviews

Building and sustaining an enthusiasm for the game.

Many never get around to enjoying the sport of golf until later in life - due to the perception that golf is an "old man's sport". Those who start late however will see it is not as easy as it seems and there is indeed a physical and mental toll to the game. "Tee to Green: A Guide to Golf After 50" is there to help those late adapters get started, and may help a few seasoned veterans get a bit of a refresher course. "Tee to Green: A Guide to Golf After 50" covers subjects such as understanding these new challenges, setting reasonable goals, and building and sustaining an enthusiasm for the game. It's highly recommended for its titled target audience (Starting Golfers over 50) and deserves a place on community library sports shelves. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

Something tailored to my age group and learning style

At last, something tailored to my age group and adult learning styles, and offered with a healthy dose of the realities of life and learning. Personally, having struggled to learn golf since retirement, this seems to be a super useful guide, not only technically, but also in de-mystifying some the 'softer' sides of golfing as well. Thanks Goodness that David Goslin also wrestled with the same challenges as I do and chose to do something with that information. I once was in a golf clinic with Mary Beth McGirr, so I know she is an excellent teaching professional who can really help one's game. The 'hints' from the pro are straight from her teaching techniques. I plan to review this often as I continue to strive to improve my game!
