The Best Golf of All Time

The Gist of Golf -Harry Vardon For the beginner golfer I would recommend Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf has achieved popularity by being an easy guide to follow and I often refer back to the basics. Golf is a complex game and it's not easy remembering all the tips of the game, so having one of the Top golf books in your library is a great way to spend your spare time thinking about the concept of your golf swing

On Learning Golf

Percy Boomer rivals Ernest Jones as the most highly respected and most influential teachers of the game from the World War II era and earlier.

 On Learning Golf: A Valuable Guide to Better Golf was first published in 1946 and has gone through more than 20 reprints as modern golfers keep rediscovering it.

Best golf instruction book I have ever read and I have read a bunch, including Penick, Hogan, Armour, Leadbetter, Haney, Harmon, etc

It is the swing rather than hitting the ball is Percy Boomers moto,  All motion below the waist is active, while all movement above the waist is passive, or responsive to the hips, knees and feet. Jones, Hogan, Sarazen, Snead, even Moe Norman, arguably the greatest ball striker in golf history, employ this motion. While none appear the same in terms of setup, posture, grip, etc, they all utilize the body to swing the clubhead.

  If you buy this book and read it, then practice its concepts and you will find yourself capable of nailing every shot. Of course, the result is that golf becomes a very fun game again, as it should be.

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.
