The War & Peace of golf. A quaint old classic from 1946, with an intro by the Duke of Windsor. It's good advice, and seriously, this game has hardly changed a whit in 50 years!

I've read more than a few books on golf instruction. Percy Boomer's book is without a doubt the best of the lot. I don't know whether Mr. Boomer was ahead of his time or whether modern golf instruction just lost its way somewhere along the road. The fact is that these old time pros knew what they were doing. The "tricks" and "tips" of today's pros found in the pages of golf digest etc. are just that. Let Mr. Boomer show you how to build a repeatable swing that will produce consistent results. You won't be disappointed. My only regret is that he's not still around to give lessons.

I'm amazed that this golf book doesn't seem to have been recognised for the gem that it is. By far the best golf book there is, and I've read over 100. Boomer was WAY ahead of his time, and I'm convinced a lot of the more recent golf instruction authors have been influenced by his work. And yet, this book is still the best in communicating the feel of the golf swing.
