 Beginners refresh November 11, 2007
Alot of people have played golf just to go hang out with the guys. This book will help you take it to the next step. I'm not saying that it will turn you into a pro, but it will help you improve in alot of areas.
 Golf November 4, 2006
One of the best golf instruction books on the market. All parts of the game are covered. I learn something every page I read -- Leadbetter is the best.
A great start for new golfer September 29, 2005
This as an easy to understand golf instructional book. David not only tells us what actually is going on during the swing, he also shows us all the drills to help the students to get the feel. If you want to know more detail, go read Hogan's Fundamental Analysis by David Leadbetter.
Great beginner and novice learn-to-golf book September 27, 2005

Leadbetter's style in this book emphasizes a simplistic breakdown of the golf swing coupled with "how it should feel" descriptions which are easily understood and remembered and thus readily transportable to the range/golf course. In other words, he does not fill your head with lots of stuff to think about while you're at the range/course. Instead he provides one or two key thoughts or images which are useful to bear in mind while swinging at the range/course.
More importantly, his drills which accompany the instructional breakdown, enable the reader to actually feel what one should feel during the swing.
For example, feeling tension on the inside (the arch) of the back foot, at the height of the backswing, is now something that I pay attention to each time I swing and that has enabled me to add 10-20 yards to my drives. After some practice, these "feelings" become automatic and do not have to be thought about during your swing.
My chief criticism is that there are too few pictures and/or diagrams to help illustrate the instructions. It is often helpful to see the same shot from many different angles. Given the lack of visuals, it is important to study the text carefully.
Other than that, this a very useful golf-swing-instructional book that unlike prior Leadbetter instructional books, dispenses with the technical discourses and boils the whole thing down to a few simple, useful thoughts and "feelings".
Extremely useful book September 23, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read quite a few golf books over the last year. I am a beginner and I found this book to be extremely useful to me. It doesn't cover the swing fundamentals the way Ben Hogan's 5 lessons does, however this book is an ideal companion to Ben Hogan's book as it fills in the blanks that Ben Hogan's book doesn't cover. 100% golf covers topics such as ball position, hand position in relation to the club (i.e. hands lead with short irons, trail with woods, etc. It also provides some excellent drills from warm ups to swing faults, which is essential if you slice off the planet the way I do! Thoroughly good read, it is a must read in my opinion. For the beginner, get 100% golf and Ben Hogan's 5 lessons and you can't go wrong!
