[MaryAnn T. Prochazka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful book. You would never think it was written so long ago.
A must for golfers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same... It is amazing to read about the technical challenges that golfers in 1900 was subjected to, and to realize how much much has changed since then. However, in other repects the hints and tips that Harry Vardon gives is still 100% relevant today.

An interesting book to read if you like golf.
