Dear Sir,

Since we first made it available to the public, late last
summer, several thousand copies of the new booklet, "Group In-
struction in Golf" have been distributed, at their request, to
athletic directors of educational institutions throughout the
country.

Judging from the comments we have received, the booklet
is proving of real assistance in organizing golf classes as part
of the athletic programs of our schools and colleges.

It is being used as a text-book for golf instruction; as
material for an advanced course in theory of physical education,
and as required reading in golf classes.

The booklet, which was written by Harold E. Lowe, Assistant
Professor of Physical Education, Columbia University, and myself,
in collaboration, was recently published by the American Sports
Publishing Company. It is being offered, free of charge, by The
American Golf Institute in line with its policy of bringing the
benefits of golf to the greatest number of people, and of stim-
ulating more enthusiasm and interest in the game.

In the thought that our original letter telling you about
"Group Instruction in Golf" may not have come to your attention,
we are again making this booklet available to you. If you wish
to receive a copy please let us know and we shall be pleased to
send it to you.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sine rely yours,

 

Robert T.“Jones,
Director
