Description
Illustrated. 355 pages. Vaile's most sought-after title and his best work. This is not a book about the mystique of golf. The author writes that it is study and habit that best prepares the golfer for the links. The illustrations feature those professionals who in Vaile's opinion are the best forms to follow, including Vardon, Ray, Braid, Duncan, Taylor and J. Sherlock. Throughout the book Vaile criticizes approaches taken by other golfing experts, endorsing and explaining the swings of his chosen few. Bound in the original dark green cloth with gilt lettering and decorative image of a golfer in cap jacket and knickers at the conclusion of his swing on cover, crossed clubs and three balls on spine, all in bright condition, gilt 100% intact, top page edges gilt. Upper corner bumped, else covers clean and bright. Original unmarked endpapers, no former owner name or bookplate. Contents similarly clean, no foxing, marginalia, underlining, soiling, staining, creases, or tears. Covers protected in mylar. Size: 8vo - over 7¾"" - 9¾"" tall
