Bobby Jones On Golf by Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones
On Learning: "Golf is the one game I know which comes more and more difficult the longer one plays it."
On Practice: "Go out with a definite purpose and stay with your work only so long as that purpose and stay with your work only so long as that purpose remains definite. If the purpose is achieved, go home and give your muscles and your head a rest. Nothing can be gained by dithering with your swing after it has been once straightened out."
On Form: "Flight down any tautness whenever it may make its appearance; strive for relaxed muscles throughout ,and encourage a feeling of laziness in the backswing and the start of the downward."
On Timing: "Nobody ever swung a golf club too slowly"
On Attitude: "Bad putting is due more to the effects the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball"
On Concentration: "Very often what a man feels he is doing is more important than what he does. The feel, the experience, is so much easier to remember and repeat."
The Modern Fundamentals Of Golf by Ben Hogan
Mr. Hogan wants to point out that the average golfer has all the tools in his box of tricks to play better golf. With far less effort than is typically thought that only the Dustin Johnson's and Brooks Koepka's can do for whatever reason. The average golfer underestimates himself. Mr. Hogan illustrates this point by using the swing in short pitches, and putts and extending it farther back for the longer irons. THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS COMPLETELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATABLE SWING, AND BREAKING 80.
The Four Cornerstones Of Winning Golf by Butch Harmon Jr.
"This book is for those just started to the game, to those who could use a slight tweak in their swing, or who could gain more confidence at the range. Harmon writes that his goal is to take each student and give them a framework of his/her current level of ability, and develop a practical approach that will allow the golfer to make the most of their own physical and mental package, help them both swing the golf club and play the game as best they can. Harmon introduces his four cornerstones by stating that his approach to teaching is for both the short term, like when a golfer who has a current average score of 100 to be content to shoot in the low 90's. And importantly, can be applied to the long term through swings that vary over time."
