: ea Jones says: “‘Good golf
is easy to play and it is regret-
table that so many persons who play
at golf make such a labor of it.”
His book will help the great army of
laborers at golf to become players.

Over a period of more than twenty
years, Jones has taught thousands of
golfers, from national champions down
to the rankest duffers. He has taken
new pupils taking up the game at
60 years and beyond, and brought
them to playing consistently in the
low 80’s in less than a year’s time.

The results he gets come from his
system of releasing the student from
negative principles and numerous
rulés: “He has’ but. one’ message:
“The swing’s the thing—get that
right and you can forget everything
else!”

Stop worrying, and play golf

Many golfers flounder around in the
midst of dozens of do’s and don’ts.
Their stroke, which takes but a

 

moment to perform, is hindered by
their trying to remember a number of
separate rules and cautions during
that time. Even a first rank player
would perform terribly under such a
handicap. Instead, he can, and does,
think of- only one thing at a time,
when actually playing a stroke—
hitting the ball.

Under fones’ method of teaching,
everything is subordinated to this
central idea of concentrating on
what the player is doing with the club
head, through his sense of touch or
feeling. He shows you in detail how
to “swing the ciub head,” how to
have control of the club head through
the hands and fingers.

Now you can have the next best
thing to Jones’ personal instruction
in applying this positive principle.
His system—his manner of teaching—
the single, simple  principle—is
brought out fully in text and diagram
in this book. Read it, and take strokes
off your score.
