Legendary Lessons Features Tips from Golden Age of Golf

DENVER - March 15, 2016 - PRLog -- In Legendary Lessons (Skyhorse Publishing, March 2016) Claudia Mazzucco brings together a wealthy combination of material from the great champions of the twenties alongside an equally rich philosophy of the game. There are two key aspects to the Golden Age of Golf - the Roaring Twenties: creative use of a diversity of methods and short teachings using a varied but remarkably integrated visual language.

The editor moves through the collections of The American Golfer and Golf Illustrated, choosing key extracts on each point (in golf), while resisting the temptation to create a systematic theory of the game. The results yield valuable insights for anyone interested in learning how to play the game through critical thinking, observation and reflection.

Alex Morrison said that "the game of golf is surrounded by more misstatements and misconceptions than any other form of human curiosity." Throughout the long history of golf the leading players of the game evolved a multitude of theories applied to a great variety of styles and techniques but always with unifying principles that make them instantly recognizable.

With Forewords by Art Spander and Curt Sampson, Legendary Lessons, is a collection of entries by champions like Harry Vardon, Walter Travis, Francis Ouimet, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Joyce and Roger Wethered, the dean of American sports writers, Grantland Rice, and distinguished instructors like Ernest Jones and Alex Morrison.
