For those women who lack experience, getting into the swing of golf no longer needs to be scary or stressful. From the Red Tees is the book currently missing from bookstore shelves, pro shops, and golf stores. It is packed with need-to-know tips, basic golf etiquette, the rules of the game, and humorous stories and golf anecdotes. Aspiring golfers will appreciate the wealth of information written for women by a woman who's been over par and out of bounds on many occasions.
This is a fun & easy read! Palermo educates the novice golfer about proper course etiquette & terminology, and peppers her not-so-technical golf "manual" with humorous anecdotes. I highly reccomend Red Tees to any woman hesitant to brave the links - it will provide knowledge, confidence, and some laughs!

Two books were purchased. One for myself and one for my adult daughter. This is a "down to earth" and humorous golf book for women. I particularly liked chapter 4 "Fried Eggs and the Dance Floor: Terminology Clarified." It has helped me speak the language of golf. Chapter 8, "The Boys Club" offers a sneak view into the mystery of men and golf.
A very fun read.

What a great book! I enjoyed the humor, the antidotes and everyone out there can always use a refresher on the rules of the game and the importantance of being honest about their game. I thought the book was very insightful as it correlated the game of golf with life and shared traits. In reading this book I came to appreciate how intimidating this game can be to newcomers... I had never thought of it in the way that this book illustrates. It has changed my perspective on how new-comers to the game might feel and my attitude towards them. Very well written and a fun, easy read.
GREAT BOOK! A MUST have for the female golfer!

This book is a great, stress-free way to learn the ropes of golfing with the guys BEFORE going out on the course! It's a fun and entertaining way to help you remember all the do's and do not's so you do NOT get embarassed while playing! I'm buying a copy for all my girlfriends...

Smart. witty, informative and full of great advice. But more importantly, a great lesson in perpective - on and off the course. A laugh-out-loud must read for budding women golfers and a great reminder for all the "old-pros" as well. This book makes me want to get out there to be a better player, and at the very least, be a positve one. Enjoy!
