Guide Review - Pool And Snooker For Golfers & Golf Putting
As a fan of both free golf tips and free pool tips and the clear similarities between the two sports I found Snooker 4 Golfers an intriguing title. Snooker great Cliff Thorburn, "The Grinder" also thinks so, and has placed his endorsement on Gowland's work.

The hook (golf pun intended) is this--enjoy Gowland's book of golf and pool/snooker lore, and free tips for both sports, as you learn how to play rounds of golf at great and historic golf courses--without ever leaving the comfort of your pool or billiards table!

In short, a charming and engaging book including basic Snooker rules, trivia and tips while adding something special for fans of pool and golf both.
