Book is very helpful.

I bought this book when I first started playing. Since most of golf has to do with things like posture, stance, and follow-through, I found this book completely useless, except to hold my broken office window open.

I am usually a great fan of "Dummies" guides, but except for some lessons in terminology, there is relatively little a book can offer in terms of instruction in golf... the money I spent on this book probably would better have been invested in greens fees, or just paying for a bucket of balls at a driving range.
