Review:

Ken Venturi's Stroke Savers is ideal for the golfer seeking to improve his or her game. It provides easy-to-follow advice in the areas of putting, driving, grip, swing, stance (all the essential aspects of the game) as well as special suggestions on difficult shots, equipment, sizing up the course, and avoiding common errors. Included in this collection of golfing wisdom are such valuable hits as skipping a ball across water, the thruth about lies, when and how to lay back, putting the score ahead of pride, developing distance, the basics of good balance, and putting imagery. Ken Venturi's Stroke Savers contains no gimmicks and no miraculous promises for desperate golfers, just concise instructions accompanied by hundreds of helpful photographs. Golfers of all levels , from the person just taking up the game to the casual weekend player to the low handicapper looking to shave a stroke or two per round, can benefit from Ken Venturi's practical, no-nonsense advice. -- Midwest Book Review
