We have only this one copy but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson Nevada. $12.50 printed price. Inscription at the end of the Foreword to: "Hal May your golf rise higher higher. " but signature below is illegible. Pages are otherwise clean and unmarked -- apparently seldom if ever read. Illustrated with step-by-step how-to-do-it photos. Index. Bound in the original green-stamped yellow pictorial boards. The Golfing Machine Its Construction Operation and Adjustment. G.O.L.F. stands for Geometrically Oriented Linear Force. From the Introduction: "It may be that an octopus -- or a "thing" from outer space -- would need a different procedure but for people -shaped golfers there is actually only "one swing" as depicted in Chapter 8 and discussed in Chapter 7. This Basic Stoke is not a basic procedure but is basic geometry. Almost anyone can do an imitation that could appear to the untrained eye to be as good looking as those of many experts. And all that would need to be added would be more precision in the Component relationships. And that this book can supply. In fact that is all it is intended to supply. Without that 'Basic Motion' it couldn't even do that. See 3-0. The relationships in the Golf Stroke can be explained scientifically only by geometry because geometry is the science of relationships. So learn Feel from Mechanics rather than Mechanics from Feel. 'Alignment Golf' -- Feel from Mechanics -- dispenses with all dependence on 'mandatory' Positions which can be perfectly executed and still miss the ball. They facilitate things but guarantee nothing -- unless you know the relations that are supposed to facilitate.". 1979 edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No jacket probably as issued.

From the dust jacket: "A uniquely compelling work that transcends traditional autobiography A Feel for the Game is an anecdotal and personal portrait of a man and a game that were made for each other. With two Masters Championships nineteen career PGA victories three NCAA championships and millions in earnings Ben Crenshaw is without question one of the most successful golfers of the century. But Crenshaw's relationship to his sport goes beyond his individual performances. As captain of the 1999 Ryder Cup team confronting the largest deficit in tournament history Crenshaw believed in his players and was confident enough in his study of golf history to trust his feel for the game. In a hard-fought competition that kept viewers glued to their televisions he brilliantly marshaled a team of diverse personalities and brought the Ryder Cup back to American soil. And he did it his way with grace honor dedication and an encyclopedic knowledge of how the game should be played. A Feel for the Game is Crenshaw's warm and heartfelt ode to the traditions and spirit of golf through the prism of his own life. He describes his early years learning the game from the legend Harvey Penick and takes readers through his career as an outstanding amateur to his glorious years on the PGA Tour. Who can forget Ben's tribute to Harvey throughout his inspirational 1995 Masters championship run Crenshaw sees his success as an extension of his interest in the game's greatest players and teachers Bobby Jones Ben Hogan Byron Nelson Jackie Burke Arnold Palmer Jack Nicklaus Tom Kite Payne Stewart and Tiger Woods. Every person that crosses Ben's path and every golf course that he has had the pleasure to play or design inspires him. Crenshaw's reminiscences his fascinating glimpses into golf history and his unparalleled understanding of the nuances of play make this a must-have book for every serious fan of the world's most popular pastime.".

Who knows a golfer best Who's with them every minute of every round hears their muttering knows whether they cheat Their caddies of course. So sportswriter Rick Reilly figured that he could learn a lot about the players and their games by caddying even though he had absolutely no idea how to do it. Amazingly some of the best golfers in the world -- including Jack Nicklaus David Duval Tom Lehman John Daly Casey Martin and Jill McGill -- agreed to let Reilly carry their bags at actual PGA and LPGA Tour events. To round out his portrait of the golfing life Reilly also caddied at the Masters persuaded Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump to use him as a caddy accompanied high-rolling golf hustlers in Las Vegas around the course and carried the bag for a blind golfer. In WHO'S YOUR CADDY Reilly chronicles his experiences in the same inimitable style that makes his back-page column for Sports Illustrated a must-read for more than twenty million people every week. From his laugh-out-loud portrait of Deepak Chopra decomposing on the green to his portraits of good ol' boys who bet $100000 a round to his hilarious descriptions of his own ineptitude as a caddy to his insights into what makes the greats of golf so great Reilly combines a wicked wit with an expert's eye in a most original and entertaining look at golf. WHO'S YOUR CADDY is the next best thing to a great round of golf. It is sure to delight low-handicappers high-handicappers and everyone in between.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Rick Reilly.

1930réf. ST20235London: Harrods Ltd 1930s. FIRST EDITION. 76 x 51 mm. 3 x 2". 100 pp. Original green or orange paper wrappers side stitched titling on front cover and imprint on spine. In a custom-made folding buckram box with book wells for the three books and gilt-stamped marbled paper label inset on spine of the box. Consisting of three bound sets of 50 sequential photographs that when flipped either from back to front or front to back generate a stop motion animation of Bobby Jones demonstrating the proper form for executing a shot with various golf clubs see below. Advertisements on inside wrappers. Donovan & Murdoch 22610. One volume with portions of spine gone at either end with partial loss of imprint wrappers inevitably somewhat soiled corners a bit rounded as expected but still remarkably well preserved especially considering its inevitable hard use being entirely sound and with the photographs in excellent condition. This is a scarce grouping of some of the most charming sports as well as miniature books we've ever offered for sale. In the 1930s the famous London department store Harrods published a series of so-called sports "flicker" books of which these three are perhaps the most famous other sports books involved cricket tennis lacrosse soccer badminton swimming and greyhound racing. Our three "flicker" books when the pages are riffled with one's thumb or fingers show the famous smooth-swinging American golfer Bobby Jones executing shots with various clubs. The first book #11a in the Harrods series features the driver and the mashie. The modern equivalent for this latter piece of equipment is slightly elusive but the "mashie" is an iron club with considerable loft meant to hit a golf ball a relatively short distance with a high trajectory Jones' "driver" has the same meaning today as it did 90 years ago. The second book features shots with a "brassie" roughly equivalent to today's 3- or 4-wood and an "iron" also called a "driving iron" which is like today's 1- or 2-iron. The third book shows Jones putting and escaping from heavy rough with a high-lofted club like today's sand wedge. It is great fun--not to mention still instructive--to riffle through these photographs watching one of the world's most celebrated golf swings come to life complete with Jones' knickers white shirt and flapping tie. It is also a fact of some interest that this English series would feature an American player at a time when British dominance in golf was beginning to erode. Given the physical use to which these items have been subjected it is difficult to believe that they are still intact let alone that they are solid enough to be handled without worry.
