Short on words but long on easy-to-follow visuals, Ultimate Golf Techniques is aimed more at beginners and intermediate players than at low handicappers. Though its methods are simple--show pictures of stars such as Nick Faldo and Greg Norman to provide positive images for building a correct swing--Ultimate Golf Techniquesoffers a painless introduction to all aspects of the game. Though fundamentals and mechanics are the instructional's ace, it doesn't neglect the areas that trouble golfers at all levels: how to think on a golf course and how to play within the complexity of the rules.
Product Description
More than five hundred handy golf hints and tips gather the accumulated wisdom of the game's greatest players and instructors, demonstrating step-by-step techniques while providing self-assessment guidelines. 50,000 first printing.

 A Most Excellent Introduction To Golf Techniques and Excercises March 28, 2007
DK Publishing is a British Publishing House that is master of book making, design and illustration. This book is reflective of this. Any book by DK should automatically be recognized for quality.
As for golf, this book is an excellent introduction for beginners and a good reference for the shelf of the more advanced. It is a well illustrated starter book.

If you want a book that you can display in your library because it looks nice and pretty, this is the book. This book has techniques that will hinder improvement and actually make you score worse. I applied the techniques in this book and I actually scored worse. I also hit my drives much shorter distances and without as much control using the golf techniques described by the author. Why do you think there are over 100 people selling back this book on amazon marketplace? Some marketplace sellers are even selling it for under a $1. To sum up, what you will get is quality paper, nice pictures but no technique that will help you with your golf game. One more thing, you'll also get plenty of golf history.
Other reasons why this book is flawed:
Book claims that the techniques in this book are new. Give me a break. What a lie.
C'est "LE" livre qu'il vous faut February 9, 2004

J'enseigne le golf depuis 7 ans a Quebec et c'est de loin le meilleur livre de golf parlant des aspects techniques du golf. Dailleur, ce livre est un outil pedagogique obligatoire au Departement d'Educatin Physique de l'Universite Laval a Quebec a la formation des instructeurs de golf.
Je recommande ce livre a tout mes eleves depuis mes debuts en enseignement du golf. Ce livre est fait simplement et clairement. Il parle des differentes techniques a utiliser en fonction de la situation de jeu dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. Il y a aussi un petit chapitre interessant sur le "course management" que tous les golfeurs auraient serieusement avantage a consulter avant de se lancer sur un terrain de golf. La description des techniques de bases est faite de facon simple, claire et precise sans le jargon populaire de golf des professionnels. C'est un bon compromis si vous ne trouvez pas un professeur de golf qui sait repondre a vos attentes.

Good for visualizing the swing mechanics December 13, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What I liked most about this book was that it covered things like etiquette and some of the history of golf. Two areas that I think are ignored these days. Also, there are plenty of drills and every page is literally packed with illustrations that will help beginners quite a bit. The drawback to this book is that there are times where Campbell ends a section and I felt there were several other points to be made about that particular subject. But, overall, I think it is an excellent book for helping beginners visualize the swing and be exposed to the many different techniques used by the pros, but not as helpful for more experienced golfers. I tend to judge the worth of a golf instruction book based on how many times I mentally refer to it during a practice session or in a round. After reading tons of golf books, I really never found myself referring to anything in this book I hadn't already been exposed to elsewhere. But if you're just starting out, this is a great place to start. Especially for the price.
