Even with the evident differences in the way women and men should swing a golf club, golf lessons has nearly always been presented from the male perspective. In Venus on the Fairway, Debbie Steinbach bridges that instructional gender gap by lessons a body-and-mind method for women only. With the aid of step-by-step lessons, helpful photography, and simple visual keys, women golfers will learn to play better golf by keeping things simple--from basic grip and setup nitty-gritty to the full swing. Rather than overload the reader with highly technological swing lessons, Steinbach emphasizes matter-of-fact drills that teach how to "feel" key swing schedule, reinforced by a simple and positive lessons style. Steinbach also helps readers choose the right equipment, clarifies elemental rules and etiquette tips, and offers useful advice on before a live audience with male counterparts. For women inflowing the game for the first time or anyone looking for a fresh start, Venus on the Fairway teaches an superior method and ensures that they have fun while culture.

| ... Debbie approaches golf lessons from a fun, novel way that hooked my wife into conception her first golf book. She was so excited that we spent the holidays swinging clubs and plotting our next trip south to try out Debbie's techniques. The boob factor was my wife's pet section! If you have a female golf fan in the family, I give this book a two thumbs up as the exact gift. |

| This book took 10 strokes off my game. After conception this book, I came to grasp why the lessons & practice I hard over did not show much game improvement. That is because those lessons were designed for a male physique. After conception Debbie's book and incorporating her strategies and methods into my game, my game showed significant improvement. Thanks Debbie for taking female golf lessons to a "unique" level. |

| I really liked this book. I have had both individual and private lessons...from men...and I still had harms with hitting the balls thin, stout, or worse yet...not at all. After conception this book, I am consistently making friend with the ball. It is simple to read, the tips are simple to apply...and after conception it...I took 6 strokes off right from the start. My swing "feels" simpler and I am looking forward to improving my game even more. I liked it...and I have read more golf lessons books than I care to remember. For beginners and intermediate players...this is a "keeper." |
thank you!

| This book addresses an oft-forgotten sector of contemporary golf: women. Although women players are no doubt a decisive force within the sport, a training and development book of this kind--for women, by women--has heretofore been gone. Ms. Steinbach's book (visibly addressed, with witty prose, by her co-author Kathlene Bissell) provides insight and tips to the female golfer that all will find relevant to the development of their (her!) own game. For all those who have wondered "how does this apply to me?," please find here an irreverent yet completely honest approach to a fantastic sport with the female golfer in mind (yes, it does work differently for you! and BTW, it's OK!). A treat by any standards, 'Venus on the Fairway' presents an astute, and insightful, approach that is sure to help all women golfers as they seek to get beyond the club pro lessons. Fantastic! |

| After 15 years of before a live audience golf i have been uneasy by just about every terrible habit imaginable. Though, the most disturbing one was the use of my hips during the golf swing. This book advocates using the hips as a power source. It also insinuates that using the hips is some sort of new thought. Please listen to me. I was taught this same info 15 years ago and it does not work. I was taught that as a woman, our hips are wider and in order to hit a long ball the hips must be very active in the swing. All this did was lead to me casting the club and growth out on the downswing. Using the hips is not new theory. It is an ancient theory thrown away years ago. Read David leadbetter or Dave Pelz or any of golf's gurus and they will tell you this is bunk. It took me years to straighten out my timing and undo the hurt that this type of lessons does. The author equates using our hips to using our womb power... Oh Please! A pro once said that it amazed them that women ever learned the golf swing with all the bunk that they are taught. This book contains that bunk. Excellent Luck |
