Bob Charles

This is a handy introduction to golf shots for left-handers. It is for the beginner or lower intermediate. Most importantly, it has a lot of good pictures so that you don't have to hold a regular golfing book up to the mirror to see what your left-handed stance is supposed to look like.

I liked the style of presentation used in this book. It was a little more narrative and there was much that was subjective in Mr. Charles's discussions on the playing of golf. I also like the brief presentation chapters on the manufacture of golf clubs and golf balls and, although it was very cursory and included little design discussion, it was good information for weekend golfers aspiring to a better handicap. Also the discussion of lies and weather handling was brief but good.
