Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golfer's Manual (Illustrated) But I was bitten. The thing was a pro vocation of the most acute character. And I was not going to be beaten by it. Secretly, and with much malicious purpose, I joined the aforesaid North Surrey Golf Club and put myself into the hands of the pro. Within six weeks my little back garden of ten paces square was a six-hole putting-green. I was scouring the house for corks upon which to practise the gentle art of driving, and many choice drawing-room ornaments had gone to eternal smash in witness of my growing prowess with the mashie. And, bless the Giver of all good things, I have lived to see the day when I could beat both Butler and Wadsworth. My sole ambition in life at the present time is to play their best ball for a Haskell apiece and win on the eighteenth hole.

Book excerpt: Golf in America: A Practical Manual is a book written by James P. Lee. This title examines the growing popularity of golf at a time when the sport was still new to the United States. Golf in America is a historical text that also examines the technical aspects of the sport. Lee's book opens with an examination of the game's origins, which the author argues have been disputed but ultimately points to its popularity in Scotland as the tipping point for the spread of the game throughout Europe and North America. Lee discusses how the sport came to be introduced in America, and details some of the nation's early golf courses. From there, Lee's discussion shifts to the more practical aspects, including sections on the rules of the game, appropriate etiquette, basic strategies, technical instruction, and a detailed glossary of technical terms. The book concludes with a detailed index of notable North American golf courses. This book will appeal to a certain segment of the golf loving population. The historical information will be of interest to anybody who enjoys the sport and is curious about sport history, whilst the technical information provided is great for practical development. Golf in America: A Practical Manual is ultimately a well written work that is worthy of your attention, particularly if you are new to the sport. Lee has combined a detailed history of the sport with some technical instruction that create an interesting read for any enthusiast in the sport.

Download or read book The Gist of Golf Classic Reprint written by Harry Vardon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What better way to learn how to putt and perfect your swing than taking pointers from an experienced professional who has won the Open Championship an astonishing 6 times? This aptly describes Harry Vardon, author of The Gist of Golf, which was published in 1922. Despite the seeming antiquity of this edition and the presence of dated tips that are now replaced by better techniques, there are still a good number of golfing gems that can be gleaned from Mr. Vardon's instructional manual. Some of them are simply timeless in that they remain relevant even today, such as anecdotes featuring common sources of frustration for most golfers. Avid practitioners of this sport will find themselves chuckling upon finding they share the same experiences as the author. The Great Triumvirate member has been known for his legendary Vardon Grip and shares some tips in accomplishing this in the book. Also, he gives readers insight on sport psychology and developing game strategies. Although this is a classic manual in the world of golf, one is not recommended to follow all the instruction it contains due to its antiquity. However, this is an excellent resource for those seeking to have in-depth knowledge about golfing culture and its early development.

Download or read book Harvey Penick S Little Red Book written by Harvey Penick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1992-05-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Penick's life in golf began when he started caddying at the Austin, (Texas), Country Club at age eight. Eighty-one years later he is still there, still dispensing wisdom to pros and beginners alike. His stature in the golf world is reflected in the remarkable array of champions he's worked with, both men and women, including U.S. Open champion and golf's leading money winner Tom Kite, Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, and LPGA Hall of Famers Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls, and Kathy Whitworth. It is not for nothing that the Teacher of the Year Award given by the Golf Teachers Association is called the Harvey Penick Award. Now, after sixty years of keeping notes on the things he's seen and learned and on the golfing greats he's taught, Penick is finally letting his Little Red Book (named for the red notebook he's always kept) be seen by the golf world. His simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away all the hypertechnical jargon that's grown up around the golf swing, and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play their best. He avoids negative words; when Tom Kite asked him if he should "choke down" on the club for a particular shot, Harvey told him to "grip down" instead, to keep the word "choke" from entering his mind. He advises golfers to have dinner with people who are good putters; their confidence may rub off, and it's certainly better than listening to bad putters complain. And he shows why, if you've got a bad grip, the last thing you want is a good swing. Throughout, Penick's love of golf and, more importantly, his love of teaching shine through. He gets as much pleasure from watching a beginner get the ball in the air for the first time as he does when one of his students wins the U.S. Open. Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is an instant classic, a book to rank with Ben Hogan's Modern Fundamentals of Golf and Tommy Armour's How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time.

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...
