hi
i think Hogan's the 5 fundamentals of golf is the best book out there for someone new to learn the basics without filling there mind with to many things once they get the basics ie, grip, stance and posture,first part of the swing, second part of the swing. the follow through and tweaking your game.
once you have the basics then i think that 3sk could help with your ball striking but i think you have to have the start of a swing there first.
cheers
