Book Reviews of Ernest Jones' Swing the Clubhead

Book Review: An Essential Golf Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I only wish I'd connected with a golf instructor with Ernest Jones' teaching method when I first learned to golf 35 years ago. This classic book is more important and spot-on than ever, with his simple and fundamental ideas about swinging the clubhead on an arc.

So much modern golf instruction is cluttered with hundreds of different and confusing details about the endless positions in a golf swing. These positions might be important to pinpointing a specific problem in a swing, but Jones understood that the individual golfer needs to get most of these details out of his mind when he makes his swing and instead focus on the important action of making a properly-arced swing.

In reading other reviews, it sounds like there are some problems with the naming of this book and a conflict with other editions, but this is still a very valuable and fundamental treatise about golf instruction. Golf is a very difficult sport to play well, but if you apply yourself to Jones' principles, you will enjoy yourself much more on the course by de-cluttering your head from the minutia of details and ideas you'll find on the instructional pages of Golf or Golf Digest.

Summary of Ernest Jones' Swing the Clubhead

The teachings of Ernest Jones are of a distant generation, yet no one with the possible exception of Percy Boomer, has such an influence on modern day golf instruction. Jones is quoted in countless magazine articles, and golf instruction books by well known players and teachers, including Jack Nicklaus, and Gary McCord. McCord, most well known for his humor in golf broadcasts, is a very intelligent and serious student of the golf swing. In his book Golf for Dummies, McCord lists Swing the Clubhead as one of his Top Ten Golf Books.
