How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time

The great Tommy Armour played his best golf quite a bit of the time, winning more than 30 times on the PGA Tour, including three majors. "The Silver Scot" retired from professional golf in the 1930s, then became one of the game's most highly sought instructors.

How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time

In 1929 he took over the post of golf professional at the Boca Raton Club, in Florida, where over the next quarter of a century his instruction ranged prom teaching duffers how to break 100 to brushing up the games of the top tournament professionals when they couldn't iron out their own difficulties. Armour always claimed that the instructional part of his golf career was the best -- the part he enjoyed the most. The instruction would be good for a beginning golfer, there were a few tips scattered throughout for the long time player. 

Armour's tone versus his contemporary is quite authoritative and at times almost condescending in his depiction of the `average' golfer and his urging to play within their limitations. He models the early chapters after a visit to his golf clinic in Florida, speaking always as the teacher and never a peer. It was his stated intention to produce a thin volume of the absolute minimized, efficient teachings about golf.

 The genius of the book is that the techniques Armour suggests are easy to remember while you are actually out there in the process of swinging the club.
