Overview

The first and last word in golf instruction
Providing a complete library of golf instruction in one volume, this compilation features a variety of valuable lessons drawn from the most famous, popular, and trailblazing golf books as well as classic and contemporary magazines. Going beyond the standard instructional manual, this is the only golfing reference that presents its information in the original words of the great champions, instructors, and authors—both male and female—while also covering every aspect of the game, integrating its history and the parallel development of its multibillion-dollar instruction industry.
