Another Jones has contributed in a significant manner to golf instruction and that is Ernest Jones, the first instructional luminary to enter the golf instruction world with his classic book, “Swing the Clubhead.”
Tommy Armour, also known as The Silver Scot, one of the world’s greatest players became one of the world’s most sought-after instructors. This book – “How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time” – shares Armour’s methods, as he did – indeed – play HIS best golf most of the time, bringing home over thirty wins during his PGA career.
One of the most greatly respected and prominent instructors of the early 1940’s has got to be Percy Boomer. His book, “On Learning Golf” has reached over twenty reprints since contemporary golfers find it to be an invaluable resource.
