Best Golf Book

Without a doubt, simply the best golf instructional book I have ever read (even better than Hogan's classic). If you have friends who are true and avid golfers, there is probably no better gift you can give them than perhaps a dozen new Pro-V1s.

More Golfers Will Want to Learn From This Master

Harmon, Haney, Leadbetter, Nicklaus, Olathabal, etc. know that Jacobs is one of the greatest golf teachers of all time. So, the golfer who is interested in better swing and game will find this collected wisdom both informative and great read. As said, this is collected from his previous books, both instructional and antecdotal. From either the viewpoint of those who have some of these, or none, this is definitely one of those got to have books for one's golf libraries. Jacobs is known for bringing simplicity, yet results from his instruction, all tied to his brilliant breakthrough of ball flight. I love his stories, they are classic and insightful. His cut away all the unnecessary detail and providing understandable cause and reaction, one gets what one needs for greater golfing results and enjoyment. Can't recommend this fine tribute to one of golf's all time best instructors, not to mention a fine competitive golfer himself. As Bernard Gallacher was attracted to him was, so should we, he was too busy being hounded for advice rather than honing his own game.
