I was out playing one day with a friend and she told me about a great book her husband came across a few years back. It's called Golf Club Repair in Pictures. Has anyone read this book? It was the first time I ever had heard about it.

Pictures of clubs...

LOL...I havent heard of that book but it sounds like A Repair for Dummies book. I like Its only a Game by Jackie Burke or Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf. You can also subscribe to Golf Digest Magazine which has alot of inside tips from the pros plus all the buzz about the golf world.

lol, repairing your own golf clubs must be hard, considering most breakages are in half, which can't just be done with super glue !
