On Learning Golf: A Valuable Guide to Better Golf

Rate this book
The War & Peace of golf. A quaint old classic from 1946, with an intro by the Duke of Windsor. It's good advice, and seriously, this game has hardly changed a whit in 50 years!

British golf Pro at club in France. Knew Ted Ray, Vardon.

Best memories - the definition of a very British word, "brace."

The idea that the duffer walks onto the tee box trying to create a "way" to get to what will be a great golf swing. Perhaps the duffer thinks of part 1 of 3. While, for Percy and great players, they see the beautiful pose/finish. They are visualizing the END of the swing. The duffer sees the means, while the pro sees the end. Percy saw the swing a single thing - unsegmented.

Wonderful golf game book, with terrific insight. Not so much a swing mechanics book, but a storied approach to playing the game.
