While we normally cover books in this section, this DVD just about threw itself in our cart and since it is a Dummies title, we decided to see what it had to offer. If you're more of a visual learner or if you just don't have the time to sit down and read, this is a great way to learn about golf and see if you're ready for the challenge. If you're already a golfer, there are some great tips inside and the way the information is presented makes it very easy to put them to use. After all, what good are golf tips if you can't see the way you should implement them?

Gary McCord is a well known CBS commentator and wrote the original book that this DVD is based on. He actually hosts the DVD so fans will appreciate learning from the master first hand. The DVD starts out with learning how to handle each individual course you'll plan on. From figuring out the types of clubs you'll need to use to make par, to learning how to tell what kind of shot you're going to need from the tee, this is information that you can really use. Scorecards are explained which is great for new players as well as those of us that still get stumped occasionally.

The DVD also covers two things that plague millions of golfers - the hook and the slice. You'll get some great tips on correcting both and learn how to perfect your swing. This part of the DVD was worth the cost alone, since it is so similar to an actual lesson that you would receive from a pro. That will cost a lot more than $18, and you wouldn't have the benefit of learning from home, and at your own pace.

That perhaps is the strongest point of the entire DVD. You can go over the same part again until you understand it, and you'll be able to move at your own pace. Need to focus on just one aspect of the game, use the menu to jump ahead. The DVD is well designed and makes it easy to navigate back and forth to each section at will very quickly.

Overall, we really enjoyed this DVD and found that it had a lot to offer any level of golfer. Sometimes, you just need to see something instead of reading about it and this DVD did a great job of really illustrating what they were talking about. We're all for books and you can get some terrific tips in them, but for a lot of golfers, this DVD will make a big difference in their game. It makes a terrific gift for any golfer, and can easily be watched time and time again. We highly recommend it and were very glad that we took a chance on it. A rare find that definitely made it to the top of our list of favorites.
