DVD Review:
Fundamentals of Golf
by Debbie Steinbach, aka Venus
Founder & CEO, Venus Golf

Debbie Steinbach, aka Venus, selected by Golf for Women Magazine as a Top 50 InstructorLA QUINTA, Calif. (Sept. 13, 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.An introduction to playing golf

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.Putting, chipping, pitching, sand and lob shots

"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.

About Debbie Steinbach aka Venus:
After playing on the LPGA Tour for eleven years, Steinbach decided to focus her career on golf instruction. She became an LPGA Class A teaching professional and was selected by Golf for Women Magazine as a Top 50 Instructor. Steinbach is a contributing editor for Golf Tips Magazine, a motivational speaker, author, co-host of the TV series "Women on Course," and National Golf Spokesperson for Rally For A Cure®, the world’s largest grassroots cause-oriented golf program.

Despite the distinct differences in the way women and men should swing a golf club, golf instruction has almost always been presented from the male perspective. In Venus on the Fairway, Debbie Steinbach bridges that instructional gender gap by teaching a body-and-mind method for women only.
 
With the aid of step-by-step instruction, helpful photography, and simple visual keys, women golfers will learn to play better golf by keeping things simple--from basic grip and setup fundamentals to the full swing. Rather than overload the reader with highly technical swing instruction, Steinbach emphasizes practical drills that teach how to "feel" key swing movements, reinforced by a simple and positive teaching style. Steinbach also helps readers choose the right equipment, explains essential rules and etiquette tips, and offers useful advice on playing with male counterparts. 

For women entering the game for the first time or anyone looking for a fresh start, Venus on the Fairway teaches an improved method and ensures that they have fun while learning.
"Venus of the Fairway" was created because of a lack of teaching methods designed for the way women learn.

Rather than overload the reader with highly technical swing instruction, Debbie emphasizes practical drills that teach women how to "feel" key swing movements, reinforced by a simple and positive teaching style.

Venus on the Fairway ensures readers will have fun while learning.

"Venus on the Fringe, Introducing the “V Factor”
Creating a Short Game That Works for Humans"

In this book, from putting and chipping to the lob shot, Venus simplifies the short game. “Give Me Another ‘V’” reminds us that “Chipping is nothing more than putting with a lofted club.” “Light bulb moments” to practice drills will really help your short game.

Jan Stephenson, 1981 Short Game Player of the Year on the LPGA Tour, says, “In tournaments, the short game is the key to not dropping shots and losing one to the field. You can hit it to eight feet all day, but if you can’t finish, you can’t score and you can’t win. Debbie’s refreshing and educational approach to teaching in Venus on the Fringe is long overdue.”
