Girls' Golf: Teeing It Up

Children's Literature

Golf is a game that girls can play equally as well as boys. This book, written for girls who need encouragement to learn the sport, gives basic information about the game. The text is combined with excellent photographs to show the information described in the book. Some of the topics include various clubs, how par is determined on a golf course, golf vocabulary (e.g., fore, fairway), and why a handicap is important. The majority of the book is focused on encouraging young female golfers to play the game and teaching them what they need to do to become professional golfers. The graphic design of the book is fun and makes the text interesting to read. The last part of the book contains photos and short descriptions of four amazing female golfers. The very end of the book contains facts about golf, internet sites to learn about golf, and a glossary of more words. Reviewer: Nicole Peterson
