Review of Golf Made Easy! A Backward Approach... or is it?

If you are ready to take up a new and relaxing pastime, it is best to have some basic instruction and direction before spending a large amount of money on all of the necessary equipment and greens fees that go along with the great game of golf. “Golf Made Easy! A Backward Approach to Learning Golf… or is it?” by Jeffrey W Kern is the perfect instructional book for beginning golfers. Though Jeffrey describes his method as being backward to the traditional way of learning and teaching the game, it seems to make perfect sense as the student moves from putting, to chipping and pitching and finally to driving. Learning to crawl before walking, before running is a sensible way of teaching and learning and Jeffrey makes it very easy with “Golf Made Easy!” Jeffrey’s guide not only teaches the basics of the game with simple instructions, photos and graphics, but he also gives plenty of reference material regarding club distance, making certain that your balls are balanced, club fitting and playing the fame in general. It teaches success from the beginning and builds on that success in order to keep the student coming back and learning the entire game. “Golf Made Easy!” by Jeffrey W Kern is exactly the book that I wish that I had been introduced to when I took my first gold lessons in college. The method may seem backward and it isn’t as dramatic as learning to drive first, but the concept makes plenty of sense. Learning the short game first allows the student to get the feel of aligning the shot, gripping the club, swinging and addressing the ball at lower speed first and then moves toward the more difficult aspects of the short game before moving to the more dramatic game of driving. Instructional, informative and common sense combine to make “Golf Made Easy!” an excellent instructional guide for beginning golfers.
