From the best amateur golfer ever to play the game comes an essential instructional guide for any golfer. Bobby Jones is universally acknowledged to have been the best amateur golfer of all time. He held at least one major title every season of his career and electrified the world with his 1930 Grand Slam, winning all four major amateur and open tournaments in the United States and Great Britain. Bobby Jones on Golf is a distillation of all that he learned about playing golf over more than half a century of devotion to amateur competition. Drawing both on the practical and the theoretical, this classic work addresses such topics as the feel of the club, placing the feet, using the body, and cultivating the proper backswing. Like the author's impeccable reputation, Bobby Jones on Golf is as timeless as the game itself.
Collects writings about golf, including contributions from great writers, humorists, and essayists, including Thomas Boswell and George Plimpton, as well as historic action shots, posters, paintings, and magazine covers.
The Golf 100 compares the records of golfers beginning with the nineteenth century and ending with contemporary pros such as Ernie Els, Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo. But how does one measure the nineteenth-century achievements of Allan Robertson, the first true professional, with that of Jack Nicklaus? The author does just that by noting the tournament records of each golfer, the level of competition and other factors such as stroke average and records in major tournaments. Substantiated with detailed biographies, little- known facts and full photographic illustration.
