For most people golf is a succession of shots followed by an anguished inquest as to why the ball did not fly straight and true towards the pin. ''Golf Cures and Fixes'' is the pocket first-aid manual to solve these problems. It is divided first by club (drivers, long irons etc) and then by problem (shank, fade, slice, hook etc) and explains and fixes each of those problems directly by way of diagrams, text, tips and photography. The star feature of the book is its amazingly useful club-by-club, shot-by-shot structure. Readers know precisely where to look in the book and the comprehensive nature of the structure assures them that the book contains an explanation and cure for every conceivable problem.
