First Edition
Original Cloth. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. 61 pages. Similar in form to the author's 1902 book Golf Do's and Don'ts in that it is as much a book of advice as it is a book of instruction, discussing nuances rather than mechanics.

The uncommon dust jacket is lightly soiled, not price-clipped, with a repaired tear on top rear, 1/2 " x 1" loss top left just above the "Q" of the title, not affecting the full-color illustration by G. B. Gardom. Provenance: formerly owned by author (The Encyclopedia of Golf) and assembler of a large golf library (Col. Rtd.) Nevin H. Gibson, his early Colorado Springs address label on front pastedown. Dust jacket protected in mylar. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

First Edition
Decorative Boards. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 64 pages. An unusual turn-of-the-century book of "instruction" in that the tips on how to execute a shot do not dominate. As much time is dedicated to the 'disease' as the 'cure'. Additionally, it rounds-out a beginner's golf knowledge with different on-course situations one may encounter and how to deal with them, things like hints on keeping the play moving, trusting 'gut instinct,' etc. This copy is in unusually nice condition. The colorfully decorated cover, spine and rear cover are all fully original and clean, with only a slight chipping to the spine edges and lower corner. Tiny blank sticker top corner of the lightly tanned ffep otherwise bright clean contents with no signs of foxing, undelining, stains or damage of any kind. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
