“Nothing that the most ambitious worker may need is omitted by the author, whose equipment for the self-imposed task is remarkably complete. Modesty and self-repression, rather than egotism and presumption, characterize the mental attitude of the author throughout his engrossing volume.”

HAMMOND, DARYN. Golf swing, the Ernest Jones method. il *$3 Brentano’s 796
(Eng ed 20–16277)
“Mr Hammond sets forth the views of Ernest Jones, the Chislehurst professional, on the golf swing, and they certainly deserve a sympathetic and attentive hearing, because Jones’s swing has stood the severest possible test. In March, 1916, he lost his right leg just below the knee, in France.... His new gospel, very briefly put, is that the golfer should first get a clear ‘mental picture’ of the shot he wants to play, then concentrate his mind entirely on the right action of hands and fingers, and let everything else take care of itself.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup
“The book is an interesting contribution to the theory of golf, but, in our opinion at least, it is too narrow in its range, and too exhaustive in that range, for a satisfactory volume of instruction.” B. R. Redman
