Synopsis

Steely Scotsman Tommy Armour helped define the sport of golf in the 1920s and '30s. Later, as a respected teacher, he improved the games of dozens of professionals, including Babe Didrikson Zaharias, and Julius Boros. This invaluable handbook features 160 of his illustrated golf tips, providing simple yet crucial coaching in the areas of putting, driving, grip, and stance.

About this title

Review:

Breaking the fundamentals down into grip, stance and set up, backswing and downswing, the short game, and special situation shots, Armour's collection of 160 concise, illustrated tips, selected by his PGA tour-playing grandson, is really a compendium of bursts of insight. One of golf's great early teachers, Armour remains, long after his death, one of his game's best communicators. His concepts of technique are as essential as they were in his own playing heyday of the '20s, and his ability to pierce the psychological walls that golfers have a habit of erecting around themselves is still exquisite. Each tip is its own perfectly conceived refresher course.
