Looking for an old golf instruction book

[highcut28]

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

Could be Ben Hogan's Five Fundamentals

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

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!

Do you mean Harvey Penick's Little Red Book ?

Sorry just re-read the OP.

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 :)

Well - he was an American, and a Scot. And he was big on a steady head, getting the weight forward and not flipping.

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!
