Old School Classic

This is a fascinating and valuable collection of the teachings of Stewart Maiden and should be of great interest to anyone interested in Bobby Jones's playing style and the history of the period. The writings included here are not only substantial and cover all the main aspects of Maiden's golfing method, but make an excellent supplement to Jones's own writings for anyone who wishes to try this golfing method for themself. A fine collection of photographs and the charm of the authors included here (including Maiden himself, O.B. Keeler, Charlie Yates, Robert T. Jones IV and Sidney Matthew, who has written a Life of Stewart Maiden for the volume) should make this a true old school classic for all golf lovers.

Kiltie the Kingmaker Crowns Golf Royalty

The book is great if you are a Bobby Jones Jr. fan or just a fan of the game and it's history. You will be amazed at how relevant Kiltie's instruction still is today. The book presents a back to basics approach to the game of golf from before we got away from the basics and couples it with insights into the whoms and hows of golf back in he early twentieth century.
