Book excerpt: Grantland "Granny" Rice, perhaps the finest sportswriter of his era, penned this charming collection of essays, poems, and tips on the finer points of this potentially maddening hobby. Accompanying the text are Brigg's cartoons which depict the universal and sometimes silly experiences of every golfer. Series editor Herbert Warren Wind contends that "the man who does not laugh, out loud occasionally, at Brigg's cartoons cannot have laughter in his soul". Anyone who has attempted the game of golf will enjoy this comical classic, and just may learn a few things in the bargain.

Download or read book One Move to Better Golf written by Carl Lohren and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, Carl Lohren made a breakthrough, and One Move to Better Golf explains it all. Highly regarded as an instructor and player in the New York Metropolitan PGA Section, Lohren formed his ideal golf swing after years of studying master golfer Ben Hogan. His eyes were opened at the 1964 Carling Open when he watched Hogan select an 8-iron and take a short swing on a 150 yard shot. To Lohren's surprise, Hogan's ball exploded off the clubface and wound up ten feet from the pin! This inspired Lohren to start his swing by turning his left shoulder as Hogan had. Immediately upon doing so, Carl's ball flight took on a different look: it had a piercing trajectory, with plenty of carry and roll. Carl continued to refine his method, so that in 1968, he won the NY State PGA Championship in a playoff over former Ryder Cup player Bill Collins. In One Move to Better Golf, Lohren explains a simple method of starting the golf swing with one move that incorporates the fundamentals. In doing so, he gives you a framework of confidence for your swing. He also provides students with a complete methodology of the physical and mental preparation necessary for effective shotmaking. Whether you are a low or high handicapper, One Move to Better Golf will give you a clear understanding of the total golf swing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Golf The devout worshipper, then, finds himself in a difficulty: the Braid-use gives certain rubrics, the Bramston-use not only omits these, but presents others which seem, and indeed are, contradictory. What is he then to do The solution is simple: he is to take his club and find out for himself which of the two gives, in his case, the best results, or, in other words, which of the two, after a fair trial, is easiest to him personally. For that is one of the unspeakable benefits of golf: the easiest method of accomplishing the same feat is for each player the right method.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... A B C OF GOLF i THE ONE ESSENTIAL THING IN golf, as in all other departments of human knowledge, it is necessary to distinguish clearly between the essential and the non-essential. Many books have been written upon the art of propelling that elusive little sphere of rubber and "gutty"; many pundits have essayed to expound the mystery; many despairing duffers have sought to purchase, with mere ducats, the easy grace, the well-nigh supernatural skill of the local "pro." The earlier golfing authors seemed to look upon it as a literary rather than an athletic exercise; the ingenious gentleman who has favored us from time to time with ponderous tomes bearing the great names of Braid, Verdon, et al, undoubtedly considers it an exceedingly abstruse science; to Mr. Arnold Haultain, delightful essayist, golf is merely a state of mind. Certainly in golf, wisdom does not reside in the multitude of counselors. Essentials and non-essentials; but to enumerate the latter would be a hopeless task. Time and time again the would-be golfer has stumbled upon (or purchased) what he fondly imagines to be the prime, great secret. And for a little while it does work; then come a few bad shots, loss of confidence follows, and the "cure-all" is sent to join its predecessors in the discard. In golf, as in medicine, quacks and nostrums nourish monstrously well, and there is never any end to the procession of willing victims; the canny professional may fool the duffer all the time if he chooses to do so. Let us begin then by putting aside all speculation and worry over such unimportant DEGREES-details as grip, stance, the snap of the wrists, timing of the stroke, and a score of similar shibboleths. I don't intend to say that these things mean nothing at all, but they...

Download or read book The Rules of Golf in Plain English Third Edition written by Jeffrey S. Kuhn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The cry for the simplification of the Rules of Golf is a stock-in-trade of the journalist during the winter months. Countless words on the subject have been poured out to an ever-tolerant public, but still the long-sought simplification does not come."—Henry Longhurst, 1937 The hopes of renowned writer and golfer Henry Longhurst—and millions of golfers before and after him—have finally been realized. In The Rules of Golf in Plain English, Bryan A. Garner, American English language and usage expert, and Jeffrey S. Kuhn, volunteer USGA rules official, have translated the knotty Rules with the encouragement and permission of the United States Golf Association. The result is a modern, readable version that offers, for the first time, clear guidance to both amateurs and professionals. Based on a 338-word set of thirteen rules written in 1744, the official Rules have grown, over two and a half centuries, to 40,000 words. Numerous contributors and a complex revision process have rendered these Rules so opaque and stylistically inconsistent that a companion volume—the 600-page Decisions on the Rules of Golf—has been published to help golfers navigate them. Both lawyers and avid golfers, Kuhn and Garner recognized the difficulties that the language of the Rules of Golf created, especially in a sport that expects players to call penalties on themselves. By reworking the Rules line by line, word by word, they have produced an accessible resource that no golfer—from the duffer to the pro—should be without.
