Hi All, many many years ago i was lent a little green paperback with simple illustrations (ala 5 fundamentals)

It was either authored by an American or possibly a Scot.

I can't  find it in the usual lists from Amazon etc  ie Not Penick or Boomer .

Can anyone help me?

It was a great little book.

Thanks

^^ Exactly what I was thinking, My grandpa lent me this book when I started golfing, and it looked quite aged.

Bag:

DriverG25 or  XCG5 11.5* 3++ fairway wood

3w:  XCG6 15*

*5w: XCG6 18* (out if I bag my 3-iron)

Irons: Rocketbladez tour  3-pw(47*) (I sometimes bag the 3 iron but usually the 5w) 

Wedges:   SM-4  52*, 56*, 60* 

Putter:  Versa #7 (white on black)

No no not Hogan's Fundamentals.

Someone far  less famous/ unknown as player , but if it made its way to Malaysia it had to have been quite well known as an instructional guide.

I would like to know as well when you find out, because I love reading older books on golf!

After a big search online i am darn sure its - Tommy Armour - How to play Your Best Golf All the Time
The copy i had looked different (green) from the editions shown on bookshop websites.

Thanks all the same :)

Isn't it amazing to think how far we've come... ;-)

Yes, u know there s footage of him on Youtube!

I worked out the  problem with my swing in that i had 'forgotten' to get my RT elbow tucked as i shifted forwards in the downswing - suddenly i was reminded of a description in that old book from reading it abt 3 decades ago!
