Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter V HOW TO USE THE MASHIE WITH HINTS ON PRACTISING AND SOME ADVENTURES THE mashie shot in golf is a specialised shot. In its main features it is a law unto itself. I have heard people say that the swing for every club in the bag is the same. They declare that the differences which present themselves to the eye in a first-class player's way of managing his set of implements--his less upright and more upright swings, according to the club that is in use, and the effects of those swings on the flight of the ball--are merely the results of variations in the lengths and lofts of the clubs. I do not desire to criticise that judgment at all severely. Once you know the correct swing for driving, you are on a very fair way to mastering all the shots in the game, and I agree that, when using the cleek, mid-iron, and kindred clubs for plain straightforward shots, you need not be conscious of attempting anything very different from that which you essayed with the driver. Such changes as are desirable are matters of stance rather than swing, as I have explained in the chapters concerning those clubs. When you take in hand the mashie, I do not suggest for a moment that you should blot out your prevailing idea of the swing and try to substitute another. But what I do say is that it is a specialised shot that you make with the mashie; that if the swing is the same, only on a smaller scale, as with the clubs of longer range, you are never so safe as when you produce that swing in a way specially adapted to the club. I am assuming that you do not take full bangs with the mashie, like a slogger at cricket making a death-or-glory swipe at the ball in the hope of carrying not only the fieldsmen and the spectators but the pavilion as well. Some golfers...

Book Synopsis Golf in the Kingdom by : Michael Murphy
Download or read book Golf in the Kingdom written by Michael Murphy and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spiritual journey, a lush travelogue, a parable of sports and philosophy—John Updike called this unique novel “a golf classic if any exists in our day.” When an American traveler on his way to India stops to play a round on one of the most beautiful and legendary golf courses in Scotland, he doesn’t know that his game—and his life—are about to change forever. He is introduced to Shivas Irons, a mysterious golf pro whose sublime insights stick with him long after the eighteenth hole. From the first swing of the Scotsman’s club, he realizes he is in for a most extraordinary day. By turns comic, existential, and semiautobiographical, Michael Murphy’s tale traces the arc of twenty-four hours, from a round of golf on the Links of Burningbush to a night fueled by whiskey, wisdom, and wandering—even a sighting of Seamus MacDuff, the holy man who haunts the hole they call Lucifer’s Rug. “Murphy’s book is going to alter many visions,” The New York Times Book Review declared. More than an unforgettable approach to one of the world’s most popular sports, Golf in the Kingdom is a meditation on the power of a game to transform the self.
Download or read book The Match written by Mark Frost and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2007-11-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1956, a casual bet between two millionaires eventually pitted two of the greatest golfers of the era -- Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan -- against top amateurs Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi. The year: 1956. Decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to fame as the ten-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur golf, Lowery has just made a bet with fellow millionaire George Coleman. Lowery claims that two of his employees, amateur golfers Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi, cannot be beaten in a best-ball match, and challenges Coleman to bring any two golfers of his choice to the course at 10 a.m. the next day to settle the issue. Coleman accepts the challenge and shows up with his own power team: Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game's greatest living professionals, with fourteen major championships between them. In Mark Frost's peerless hands, complete with the recollections of all the participants, the story of this immortal foursome and the game they played that day-legendarily known in golf circles as the greatest private match ever played-comes to life with powerful, emotional impact and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
Book Synopsis The Gist of Golf (Classic Reprint) by : Harry Vardon
Download or read book The Gist of Golf (Classic Reprint) written by Harry Vardon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What better way to learn how to putt and perfect your swing than taking pointers from an experienced professional who has won the Open Championship an astonishing 6 times? This aptly describes Harry Vardon, author of The Gist of Golf, which was published in 1922. Despite the seeming antiquity of this edition and the presence of dated tips that are now replaced by better techniques, there are still a good number of golfing gems that can be gleaned from Mr. Vardon's instructional manual. Some of them are simply timeless in that they remain relevant even today, such as anecdotes featuring common sources of frustration for most golfers. Avid practitioners of this sport will find themselves chuckling upon finding they share the same experiences as the author. The Great Triumvirate member has been known for his legendary Vardon Grip and shares some tips in accomplishing this in the book. Also, he gives readers insight on sport psychology and developing game strategies. Although this is a classic manual in the world of golf, one is not recommended to follow all the instruction it contains due to its antiquity. However, this is an excellent resource for those seeking to have in-depth knowledge about golfing culture and its early development.

Download or read book Final Rounds written by James Dodson and published by Bantam. This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Dodson always felt closest to his father while they were on the links. So it seemed only appropriate when his father learned he had two months to live that they would set off on the golf journey of their dreams to play the most famous courses in the world. Final Rounds takes us to the historic courses of Royal Lytham and Royal Birkdale, to the windswept undulations of Carnoustie, where Hogan played peerlessly in '53, and the legendary St. Andrews, whose hallowed course reveals something of the eternal secret of the game's mysterious allure over pros and hackers alike. Throughout their poignant journey, the Dodsons humorously reminisce and reaffirm their love for each other, as the younger Dodson finds out what it means to have his father also be his best friend. Final Rounds is a book never to be forgotten, a book about fathers and sons, long-held secrets, and the lessons a middle-aged man can still learn from his dad about life, love, and family. Final Rounds is a tribute to a very special game and the fathers and sons who make it so.

In the wake of the stock market crash and the dawn of the Great Depression, a ray of light emerged from the world of sports in the summer of 1930. Bobby Jones, a 28-year-old amateur golfer, mounted a campaign against the record books. In four months, he conquered the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open, and finally the United States Amateur Championship, an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam. No one has ever repeated it. Mark Frost uses a wealth of original research to provide an unprecedented intimate portrait of golf great Bobby Jones. In the tradition of The Greatest Game Ever Played, The Grand Slam blends social history with sports biography, captivating the imagination and engaging the reader. The Grand Slam is a biography not to be missed.
