My name is Bob Roberts. I started playing golf for the first time in my
  50's, after playing soccer and cricket for over three decades. I took it up
  thinking it would be easy.

  I had a reasonable degree of ball sense and
  co-ordination so I believed that picking up a golf club and swinging it at
  a stationary ball would be a cinch. It was, but the ball didn't go where I
  wanted!

  It was then I realised that there was a lot more to this game than I'd
  thought. I just didn't have the basic skills required to play a decent
  round of golf and enjoy the game so I decided to get some advice and
  study the sport properly.

  This book is written for those first timers who
  are thinking of taking up golf for social and pleasure reasons and also to
  keep fit.


  It is with you in mind that I have compiled this little book. I hope you will
  find it useful.


This little ebook is dedicated to my wife, Kath, who has helped with the editing and encouraged me throughout.
