This dated book has some good basic points on ways of looking at and developing a feel for a smoother and compatible -to- nature- golf swing...Highly recommended reading for anyone working on Don Trahan's PPGS program!!....You'll also enjoy the dated golf outfits in the illustration photos... Don MoserBook Review: a great golf guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I felt that this was a golf book that I could use to actually improve my golf game. I refer to this book quite often and it has really helped me improve my game tremendously.Book Review: Average at best...
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a golfer, and this is supposedly one of the best instruction books around. The parts that focused on the fundamentals are still timely, grip, stance, balance and the mental part of the game. Some very good information there. The main part of the book, Swing the Clubhead, basically all he has to say about that is tie a penknife to the end of some string, and there you go. If you are into instruction books, like me, then pick it up because the price is not bad at all, but if you are looking for some helpful pointers I would look elsewhere.Book Review: Published in 1937 - no magic formula - good old fashioned advice
Summary: 3 Stars
This very short and easy to read book is a positive contrast to modern technical advice and a nice addition to your golf education tools. It focuses on trusting your swing rather than heavy technical details. It's really about finding your body's rhythm to swing naturally - letting go of all the mental technicalities that run through your head and just focusing on swinging the club. It's a fresh perspective ... 63 years later!
PS If nothing else, you'll be entertained by the photos from 60 years ago!
Book Review: Good for younger people
Summary: 2 Stars
I read this book after reading the one published by Golf Digest, since another reader said it was the original work. However, I didn't see that this book was that much different. I do like the notion of a pendulum swing and its simplicity in instruction. However, it is my opinion that golfers today need to have other thoughts as well, such as a firm rear leg against which to turn. When you incorporate the pendulum with other contemporary advice, I think it helps you to extend your arms more for a fuller swing arc. But don't rely on this book alone if you want to advance beyond beginning golf. Look at Humphries' book "Two Steps to a Perfect Swing" if you still want to keep it simple but want to improve.
