Abstract
THIS book will prove interesting reading to all golfers, and especially to those who aim at being champions. Mr. Travers tells how he attained his expertness—simply by thoughtful, deliberate practice. He gives many valuable hints on stance and grip, and elucidates these by means of photographs of himself in all sorts of positions, and with all kinds of clubs. He has the good sense to abstain from either superficial or profound discussion of the dynamics of the golf ball in air. He has no particular interest in the value of under-spin, except in the extreme form for short approaches with mashie or niblick.
