Published the year following the British edition, inclusive of the complete UK edition with an additional 'Preface to the American Edition'. Bernard Darwin, the Dean of English golf writers, contributes a chapter on Theory and Practice. One of the few instances where Darwin, a good player himself, gives his thoughts on instruction. This book "is an attempt to bring the newest discoveries of mental science to the aid of players of a great game, to explain failure, and to bring hope of success. Simple things like knowing the length of one's attention span can improve one's chances of golfing success." The Morning Post's book review says, "In effect the difference between the professional and the amateur is nothing but the training of the sub-conscious." The preface states "This little book does not profess to teach beginners how to play Golf, but it aims at interesting Golfers in a branch of experimental science, which has important if possibly unsuspected, associations with the game. Mind is the master of muscle." This ground-breaking golf book was "written in the delightful golfing village of Machrihanish which has one of the most sporting golf-links in the world." Typical scattered light foxing, tan and maroon covers clean, bump to lower front. Covers protected in mylar. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
