Kellie Stenzel Garvin, a PGA and LPGA class-A teaching professional, has been golfing since she was 3 years old. In her book, The Women's Guide to Golf, she attempts to teach the woman golfer who has not. Assuming the reader has no prior knowledge of the game, she explains everything. The chapters are set up as lessons, the first ones covering the course, the ball, the hole, and the equipment. The simplicity of these first lessons may seem a little insulting--after all, a beginning golfer is not the same as a beginning reader. But when she discusses grip in lesson 5, pay attention--that's when Stenzel Garvin starts to shine. With the aid of 75 black-and-white photos, she takes the novice golfer through the basic points of putting and the short game before moving on to the full swing. Two of the most valuable lessons aimed at helping the beginner avoid the pitfalls that would make her stand out: step-by-step instructions for going to the driving range to hit a bucket of balls and playing a round of golf. "Fake it 'til you make it" is her mantra. Left-handed golfers be warned, this book is written strictly from a right-handed perspective, so all instructions will have to be translated. --Suzanne Sexton

Book Description

Throughout her teaching career, Kellie Stenzel has been continually asked to recommend a beginning golf instruction book for her female students to read. She researched the market and found nothing suitable-most books are too technical for the beginner and assume that the reader already has some familiarity with the game. This became the inspiration for The Women's Guide to Golf, a well-crafted and easy-to-understand golf instructional for women who are new to the game.Each section of the book provides a complete explanation of the skills needed to play golf. Ideas are presented in a clear and simple manner-golf lingo is translated into every-day English whenever possible so the reader can easily understand. Since students must have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish before they can learn, Kellie Stenzel starts at the very beginning and gives detailed explanations of basic concepts. For example, she explains what a putter looks like, what a putting green looks like, and what the goal of putting is, before teaching the reader how to putt. In addition, since women's learning style is very different from men's, this book also addresses specific women's issues, such as posture and lack of distance.This book includes a thorough explanation of the game easy-to-understand instructions suggestions on how to avoid embarrassment as a beginner simple ways to remember what you've read great anecdotes from the author's experiences as a golfer and a teacher over 75 black-and-white photosThe Women's Guide to Golf is one of the most accessible and comprehensive golf instructionals ever written for women-it is the perfect book for any woman who wants to learn the game.

Very good book for beginners.......2007-06-27

This book was just what I needed...the total basics spelled out in east-to-understand English, like what's the difference between a wood and an iron! Plus, I like the "Prince Charming" section and how to handle unsolicited advice.

A must have for beginner golfers.......2007-06-10

This book is great for any level of golfer, especially beginners. It has great pictures and easy step by step directions for learning/improving all parts of your game. I bought one as a gift and one for myself. I really enjoy the practical advice and simple drills she gives the reader.

The Women's Guide to Golf: A Handbook for Beginners.......2006-08-18

good, clear instructions.

provides details and explains golf in terms the reader can understand.

Great Book for Beginners.......2006-07-05

Very easy to understand. A must for any woman beginner.

Excellent book for beginners.......2004-12-12

I used this book when I started to play. I have to say I learned a lot on the differences between lofts of clubs, rules and different balls to use. It really helped me when I didn't have a clue about golf. It explains good fundamental technique about the grip that was helpful. However, as I got better I read some other books on golf technique that really didn't help until this one called---"The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better" by Patrick Leonardi, ISBN---1933023090. Leonardi's book is so simple to follow and the technique described in this book is like no other book on golf instruction. It helped me to hit longer drives and hit more fairways. It even helped me to chip closer to the hole which made saving par much easier. Now when I play golf it is much more fun and I'm improving at a very fast pace.

Book Description

AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, Twelfth Edition has been a best-selling personal health text for many years, largely due to its ability both to introduce the topics of health and wellness and also to inspire students to put the facts of what makes good health and wellness into practice. The unique approach of Dianne Hales's text revolves around the student focus (i.e. examples students can relate to, contemporary coverage, visual appeal, testing preparation). This text is comprehensive in its coverage and includes the latest research and data on topics students care about, from personal relationships, to eating habits and understanding health risks. Because changing for life is a major theme of this edition, a new "Your Life Coach" section presents practical information on how to make healthful changes. To enhance the critical thinking aspect, case studies have been added in each chapter that will present a personal issue involving making a healthy choice. Also, "You Decide" boxes in each chapter ask a controversial question for student reflection, such as same-sex marriage and legalization of marijuana. They are also linked to Personal Response System "clicker" content and a new online journal. Additionally, with this updated Twelfth Edition, there is the new HealthNowÂ™ Online assessment and learning tool, including pre- and post-tests, a personalized behavior change plan, and activities to add enjoyment to learning and allow students to explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of healthy living. We also now offer Pedometers, over 500 PowerPointÂ® slides, new ABCÂ® video clips, and much more. The Twelfth Edition continues to offer the same great content, features, and support materials, and now is taking it even further by emphasizing the importance of behavior change and developing life skills.

Giving back to yourself.......2007-10-07

I draw a card every morning and try to remember it's message throughout my day. The beautifully romantic images soothe me into my own self-care. It's not simply about "loving" yourself, but acting in a loving way towards yourself.

Exquisite art coupled with sage advice.......2007-06-07

This engaging collection is sumptuous to absorb with all its textured artwork and subtle wisdom. I am definitely more a fan of Avisse that the others, and his haunting images come to mind often. The women in his art are sensual yet strong, set against striking backgrounds and evoking in turn both calming and invigorating emotions.

However, I did not find the affirmations of the Self Care Cards as profound or inspiring as Cheryl's Grace Cards. Although they are uplifting and positive, they did not strike the deep personal chord with me that the Grace Cards did. These cards impart wisdom from a bit of a different viewpoint - more of an inner awareness.

The artwork here, from Corey Wolfe and Shirley Ann as well as Jean-Paul Avisse, is worth the purchase price alone, and I do feel most will enjoy the messages of self-care. I would also recommend that if you enjoy this sort of collection, are spiritually minded, and like to be reminded of the presence of a higher power in your life, look into Cheryl's Grace Cards as well. Together they create both the inside and outside of a perfect circle.

Not up to par .......2007-01-10

This was highly recommended in a magazine I read. It was a waste of money.

Put Your First.......2006-11-16

A lot of times we forget that we cannot really love or care for anyone else until we do so with ourselves. Best-selling author, Cheryl Richardson, noticed this and created a truly inspirational tool for the modern woman.

Featuring such fantastic artists as Jean-Paul Avisse, Corey Wolfe and Shirley Ann (and featuring the words of wisdom of Cheryl), these cards are designed to empower women through means of caring for themselves and raising self-confidence. They challenge you to look at your life and notice things you haven't noticed before.

This deck comes with fifty-two cards and are meant to be used by picking one at random a week to meditate and focus on whereby changing your outlook on your life. Come, take control over your life, empower yourself.

Soulfully Spectacular.......2006-07-15

These cards are simply beautiful and therapeutic both to look at and to read. The art tends toward a Romantic style and features women of many cultures. Some cards do feature nudity and while it is artistic, rather than pornographic, this is something to consider before buying this deck.

Sure to interest anyone fascinated by horses, Way of the Horse offers profound insights into the human-equine relationship.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Book and Deck Set Filled With Equine Wisdom.......2007-09-12

"[Horses] mirror, and help us recover, the beauty, power, and nobility of our own spirit hat elusive Presence so easily lost in the frenzy and disconnection of civilized life. Now that horses are now longer obliged to work in our fields and carry us to war, they're free to do something arguably more important: work on us." - From the book

Three years in the works, the Way of the Horse oracle deck and companion book are a masterful combination of the "archetypal realistic" art of Kim McElroy and profound essays of Linda Kohanov. Ms. Kohanov, a writer and riding instruction specializing in equine-facilitated human development, conveys the exquisite sensitivity of horses--especially in terms of intuition, present-moment awareness and the detection of human emotion--with the oracular messages from the Way of the Horse deck.

A 40-card deck graced with lavish matte illustrations by Ms. McElroy, the Way of the Horse cards captures the spirit of these majestic animals, as well as mythological equines such as Chiron, Pegasus and the Hippomorphic goddess Demeter.

For each of the cards in this deck, the author provides three themes, as well as the Gift and Challenge. Weaving archetypal ideas, Jungian psychology, moving anecdotes and equine wisdom, Ms. Kohanov reminds us to use the Way of the Horse cards for inspiration, insight and healing in the present moment--rather than as fortunetelling devices aimed at giving pat answers or detailing the future.

Because of my lack of familiarity with horses, I was surprised at the extent I resonated with the author's introduction--let alone the cards themselves and the accompanying essays!

Published by New World Library, the deck and 255-page clothbound hardcover companion book comes in a sturdy box--almost too sturdy, in fact! (I had a hard time removing the cloth-bound companion book from its niche, and was wary of tugging the chocolate-hued satin ribbon for fear that I would tear something. Happily, the ribbon intended to ease extraction wasn't too damaged after my tug of war session!)

The cards measure approximately 5 x 3 ½ inches and have their own box for ease of portability.

Although I've never been especially attracted to horses, the Way of the Horse box set sparkled with possibility from the time I laid eyes on the cards. After reading the introduction in the companion book, I realized this was, indeed, a special oracle.

I then felt to place the deck face down, fanning out the cards. I kept "hearing" the number 2, and was guided to select card #2 (I hadn't shuffled the deck).

I smiled when I saw that the them was "Believe", encouraging faith in the unknown and unformed, especially in light of the Authentic Self freed from the defensive scaffolding of the ego.

As I began to read the essay on Card 2, the commentary reminded me of a book I happen to be reading right now--A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Imagine my surprise when Ms. Kohanov mentions this EXACT book within Card #2's essay!

Needless to say, the synchronistic spiritual truths offered by the author (and the equines!) ministered to my spirit and uplifted my soul.

Whether you raise horses, love to ride them, or adore equine art, you'll no doubt fall in love with the Way of the Horse book and deck. However, even if you're not familiar with horses or don't feel particularly attracted to them (but care about and honor animals), there is a wealth of practical guidance, heart-warming stories and pathways to healing found in both the companion book and the stunning art of Ms. McElroy.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful addition.......2004-07-15

I would firstly love to say that this series is magnificent. In Sarah's Story < you see Sarah watching Frances' love develop with Gabriel but in Frances' Story you see what really happened and what Sarah could never know.

Frances is a painter and after her mother dies she has to take care of her three younger sisters. During the next ten years or so you see her struggle to keep everything together and watch Gabriel slowly seep into her heart.

If you love historical fiction with a twist of romance, you will love this book. I reccomend reading these books in order and purchasing them all.

I loved it!.......2003-04-30

This was the best book and i truly enjoyed all of the books from the entire quartet. It has a lot of romance and changling human attitudes. Everyones persepective of each other changes through their growing up throughout the book.

A Wonderful Historic Read.......2002-12-17

The Quantock Quartet are some of the best books I have read, historical fiction or otherwise. This novel is the only one I felt rated below a five because parts of it just dragged. Frances was the only sister I couldn't feel some sort of connection with. She came across so obstinate in parts you just wanted to set down the book and seethe at her actions. The series, however, wouldn't be the same without this installment, and all in all, it was good. "Sarah's Story" basically told you what was happening to the Purcells, and gave Sarah's perspective on the romance between her oldest sister and Gabriel. In "Frances' Story", we learn what really went on, the things Sarah had no way of knowing about. We also learn that maybe Frances *didn't* have it together all the time, despite her actions. This story covers a bit after "Sarah's Story" ended...you won't expect the twist at the end. If you like historical fiction (with a bit of romance) I highly recommend the Quantock Quartet.

WOW!.......2002-11-04

this was a TERRIFIC book, i really lOvEd iT, tHiS wAs A tErRiFiC bOoK! i really loved the romance that went on between frances and GaBrIeL, more than once in this book i thought that i was frances, i could feel her pain and her riumphs and after i read this book those feelings were so strong that i decided that i really loved art and because of this book i have become the fastest working artist in my integragreted art class, i have JUST finished working on a finger piano and clay drum, this semester we are begins work with different types of fabrics! i definitley recomend this book if you are; a Sk8Er looking for a change from too deep books or if you are a frustrated artist and need a break(this goes for poets and writers as well), if you are a a teenager adn if you are a girl and that included more than half ofd this poplulation! i loooved this book and you will too!
Sk8eRs HoNoR!

Best of the four.......2002-09-23

I found Frances' story the best of all the Sisters of the Quantock Hills books. Sarah, to me, acted kind of babyish and juvenile throughout the book, and Julia's was definately good, but I would have liked to have seen it end differently. Frances is a head-strong woman with an incredible talent that sometimes ended up influencing her decisions involving her family and especially Gabriel. Sometimes I felt like kicking her for the way she could be so blind, but it all ended well. If you like historical romances, the Sisters of the Quantock Hills are for you!
