5 out of 5 stars A must for beginning women's golfer!   August 31, 2008
This book was not only entertaining, but very informative! Very enjoyable and lots of tips.


1 out of 5 stars Token book by a Token Chick   November 10, 2006

I tried not to put this book down and just give it up-it was a true test of wills! Cheryl Ladd may have accomplished her goals as a golfer but the book is nothing but fluff as big as Farrah Fawcetts' hair in the '70's. A real disappointment in a book that I thought would be more provacative, at least have a few good golf tips!


4 out of 5 stars Not bad for a girl!   June 16, 2006
I played golf years ago, and gave it up because I'm a tomboy--and got tired of hitting from the girls tees, scavenging for clubs in the "women's" corner of the huge golf store, and the fact I would never hit as far as my husband. Recently a GIRLFRIEND convinced me to take it up again. I scoffed at this book, when I saw it--but my husband mentioned it, after seeing her play in a golf tournament on TV. And you what?! I laughed out loud. She made me realize golf for women is different. Chauvinists still exist in the modern world, we can't hit as far (get over it), and golf with your husband can be enjoyable. I'm not sure the golf instruction was enough, or needed--but I'm going to try the stronger grip she suggests. I'm sure she paid the big bucks for some good instructors--so I'll try it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I thought Cheryl Ladd wrote an excellent book. It was interesting, funny and inspiring. I took up golf to play with my husband. After reading this book, Cheryl inspired me to take some more lessons to improve my game, and hopefully play more golf with my husband. Cheryl Ladd told some funny stories in the book that actually had me laughing out loud. I would say this was my favorite book I read this year; ok it's early in the year, but I totally recommend this book for men and women. Enjoy!


5 out of 5 stars A fun book for any golfer at heart   January 31, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

A fun book to read on those wintery days when you can't go out for a round of golf. It's lighthearted and an easy read. Female golfers will definitely sympathize with Cheryl's Token Chick stories. I found myself nodding in agreement and laughing out loud as I read the book on my commute to work because any woman who's played at least one round with the boys will totally relate.

I recommend Token Chicks for any golfer, male or female. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced golfer, we all have at least one embarrassing golf story. This book is a reminder to us all that even during those frustrating golf moments (and there are plenty of them) we all need to laugh at ourselves and most importantly have fun!
