LA QUINTA, Calif. (Sept. 30, 2004) -- Since its beginnings, golf instruction has been presented primarily from the male perspective – until now. LPGA Professional Debbie Steinbach, aka Venus, has developed a breakthrough method that revolutionizes the way women learn to play golf.
Based on the theory that men and women are different both physically and psychologically, Steinbach created a new golf instruction DVD series that promotes teaching golf from a woman’s viewpoint. In “Venus on the Fundamentals of Golf,” Steinbach presents her signature lessons, such as “The Y Factor,” and “The Boob Factor” to bridge the instructional gender gap and help women improve their golf game.
“Through years of teaching golf and talking with other professionals, I found that there were definite differences between men and women golfers beyond the obvious,” says Steinbach. “So I created an instructional DVD geared towards women. By turning information into recreation, women will learn to play better and have more fun while learning.”
Arnold Palmer, PGA Tour Legend, attests to Steinbach’s abilities. “Debbie has a unique gift for keeping her information simple and making learning fun.”
In a time when women represent nearly 47 percent of all new golfers nationally and 25 percent of the total current golf market, “Venus on the Fundamentals of Golf” gives women golfers the confidence they need to enjoy and use the game for relaxation and fun or as a business-networking tool.
Volume 1, Get Ready to Play, is a very basic introduction and is designed for women with little or no knowledge of the game. It covers such Fundamentals as the object of the game, scoring, equipment, etiquette, dress, rules and golf terms.
Volume 2, The Full Swing, breaks the swing into Fundamentals, which includes set up, ball contact, impact position, strange lies, establishing a pre-shot routine and strategic drills. Steinbach’s signature golf lesson, “The Boob Factor” is addressed as well.
Volume 3, The Short Game, focuses on the Fundamentals of putting, chipping, pitching, sand and lob shots. Steinbach introduces her Money Club, a chipper designed like a putter to help golfers with this all important shot.
“Men play golf to conquer the game and women play for recreation and relationships,” Steinbach added. “I wanted it to have plenty of information, but purposely made it fast paced and fun which is the reason I do anything.”
The DVD series follows her two best selling books Venus on the Fairway, and Venus on the Fringe and brings the game to life with Debbie’s inviting, friendly and witty personality.
“Venus on the Fundamentals of Golf” can be purchased through www.venusgolf.com or www.womenoncourse.net for $19.95 each or $49.95 for the set of three DVDs.
