This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.

Grantland "Granny" Rice, perhaps the finest sportswriter of his era, penned this charming collection of essays, poems, and tips on the finer points of this potentially maddening hobby. Accompanying the text are Brigg's cartoons which depict the universal and sometimes silly experiences of every golfer. Series editor Herbert Warren Wind contends that "the man who does not laugh, out loud occasionally, at Brigg's cartoons cannot have laughter in his soul". Anyone who has attempted the game of golf will enjoy this comical classic, and just may learn a few things in the bargain.

There are 2 things to learn about golf: how to hit the ball and understanding the game. The former is best learned, not from the book, but on a range from a pro. Understanding the culture, customs and conventions is what this book is all about.
