My faded (1961) copy of Jim Dante's 1947 "The Nine Bad Shots of Golf and What to Do About Them" is a gem! It's still available in reprints (1990). The scope is exactly what all beginning and most experienced golfers need and want: How to stop hooking, slicing, topping, pushing, pulling, smothering, shanking, skying, and sclaffing. The language is wonderfully straightforward. To hit a low ball, Dante says use one more (lower-faced) club, put nearly all your weight on the left foot, and dont't pivot. "These three things," Dante says, "are virtually all you can do." What if the green can't be approached by a run-up? Dante: "Well, that's just too bad."

Thank a lot for my purhase. All is alwright in time and the chipping was without trouble. The Book is correct and it's fun. PL

(i have already record this title with the next programmation page, next year. It's not right !)

Simply the best book written on how to swing a golf club and hit the ball straight and smooth.
Written with a matter of fact and direct approach the text and diagrams leave you in no doubt about what you should do to swing a golf club, and WHY you should swing it that way.
I read this book more than twenty years ago, regularly shooting less than 80 with only a minimum number of games a year.
Highly recommended for those able to follow the advice given. I have bought another copy as my original copy was never returned after lending it to another golfer.

Hi,
The book was received in good condition and in a reasonable space of time.
Now if I can only learn from it!!
Thank you.

After many years of golfing I find this book the one and only text which cover all the bad shots in golf. I refer to it frequently to straighen me out. An old 1947 original with update 1976. Still nothing in the swing has changed over the years.
