Golf Handbook for Women: The Complete Guide to Improving Your Game | Three Rivers Press

Practical guidance for women golfers

The Golf Handbook for Women, authored by Vivien Saunders and published by Three Rivers Press, invites players of every level to explore a complete approach to the game. The book uses clear photographs and illustrations to show movements and shots, paired with practical tips you can try on the range or on course.

What you’ll learn and how to apply it

• Equipment fit and selection with simple checks to match your swing
• Habits built through repeatable practice routines for steady progress
• Shot selection for different on‑course situations, from fairway lies to wind and hazards
• Distance judgment and aiming with intention, plus how to read greens for better pace

Real‑life practice ideas and on‑course scenarios help connect ideas to action. The guide emphasizes steady growth and practical adjustments you can make at your own pace, rather than perfection at once.

Structured sections you can return to

• Equipment and setup: choose clubs, configure grips, and establish a comfortable stance
• Shot choices: when to play it safe and when to take a measured risk
• Trouble shots and recovery: regain balance and stay in play with confidence
• Mental approach: stay positive, manage fears, and enjoy the round
• Strategy: stroke play, match play, course management, and decision points

Each topic is supported by clear text, photographs, and illustrations that help you translate ideas into your next round. At 224 pages, the paperback edition fits neatly in a bag for study on commutes or after practice.

Notes on scope and use: this guide covers practical tips for getting out of trouble, building good habits, and approaching the course with a plan. You’ll find advice on judging distance, reading greens, and reducing common mistakes to approach each shot with calm focus.
