The Complete Golfer's Handbook Review
This is a very good introduction to those starting up or those revisiting the basics, the pictures and the figures help a lot.
For the accomplished ones, there are lots of various drills to tryout, notes on how to vary the shots, covering the complete range and lots of excerises including some excellent stretches.
The details with which each aspect is covered including grips, clubs is very useful. The analysis of what happens when a shot goes wrong is also good.

The Complete Golfer's Handbook Specifications
With three Masters jackets in the closet and PGA, British, and U.S. Open trophies on the shelf, Gary Player, among golf's most genial and authoritative personalities, has a record that speaks for itself and a contagious respect for the game. All of that is on display in The Complete Golfer's Handbook, which is really less a handbook than a comprehensive introduction to golf--and it's attractive enough to leave on the coffee table.
First published in Britain in 1999, the Handbook is a lushly illustrated and informative guide to golf's essentials--its history, rules, equipment, etiquette, strategies, and various forms of competition, along with some insight, given Player's second career as a course designer, into what makes a fair and challenging golf course. Good stuff, to be sure, and there's not a player anywhere, regardless of handicap, who won't pick up a nugget or two. But Player is Player; on the links he always played to his strengths, which he built through physical and mental preparation second to no one's. The Handbook offers Player himself demonstrating his quintessential warm-up system, practice drills and games, and conditioning exercises--all the routines a savvy golfer should partake in before ambling to the first tee. Following Player's physical fitness methods won't bring you a green jacket, but will certainly improve your game, outlook, flexibility, and endurance. Of course, if by some fluke you do manage to win the Masters, Player will have you so fit when you try the jacket on for size that you'll actually be able to button it. --Jeff Silverman

Definitely not for beginners - onlyaymie - Smyrna, GA USA
Although the cover and introduction made this book seem like it would be a good way to learn basics, reading it really was not a lot of help. The book repeatedly uses terms without defining them, and changes subjects with little transition. I feel no better prepared to learn golf than I did before I read this book.
Other gripes:
The book has Augusta National described as being in Atlanta, Georgia, instead of in Augusta, Georgia.
As the chapters wore on, it became a lot more about Gary Player and what Gary Player thought than about golf in general.
