Golf Is a Woman's Game
by Jane Horn
In another review I read that this is William Jefferson Clinton's favorite golf book. You know since he has left the presidency he has a pretty good swing. Though I feel sorry for the guy because no one believes his scores, as a result he will probably never be accepted as a credible golfer.
Now to this book. No I do not believe golf is a woman's game. It is no ones game. The game is equally brutal to us all. However, I do applaud the author for writing an excellent instructional manual that is also a very pleasant read.
The author believes golf is a woman's game because women (compared to men) lack physical strength so their bodies naturally accomodate for difference through the use of technique. She has a sub-chapter called the effiency ratio where she discusses the amount of physical strength vs distance and she explains that the swings efficacy not the distance the ball travels represents a good golf swing. A very good book that reveals a lot of myths and one that is definitely worth reading.
And as for William Jefferson, I believe you and keep swinging... it's looking good.

A Woman's Guide to Better Golf

In A Woman's Guide to Better Golf, Judy Rankin offers a combination of mechanical advice, gleaned from her many years of competitive golf, and practical suggestions specifically targeted to today's woman golfer. Rankin, one of the pioneers of the "strong" grip popular on the tour today, uses that grip as a building block for overcoming the number-one problem woman golfers face: lack of power and distance. She covers the hard-core instruction basics on setup, full-swing mechanics, the short game, putting, sand play, strategy, and trouble shots in text and photographs. She also offers practical tips on taking lessons, buying equipment, and arranging games to keep matches interesting. And she shares her unique observations about the top players-both men and women-in the game today. In addition to offering no-nonsense, time-tested advice, Rankin has enlisted a little help from some of her friends: LPGA stars such as Beth Daniel, Nancy Lopez, Helen Alfredsson, and Dottie Pepper as well as players on the men's and senior tours have all provided valuable insights anq tips for woman golfers. Judy Rankin joined the LPGA Tour in 1962 at age 17 and went on to gamer 27 victories during her playing career. She was named LPGA Player of the Year in 1976 and in 1977, and she was chosen captain of the 1996 LPGA Tour Solheim Cup. Rankin, who covers both men's and women's golf events for ABC Sports, lives in Midland, Texas. Peter McCleery, a senior editor at Golf Digest, specializes in covering television and the major golf tournaments and organizations.
