On Learning Golf is a comprehensive guide to golf written by Percy Boomer, a renowned golf instructor and player. The book covers a wide range of topics from the basics of grip and stance to advanced techniques for shot-making and course management. Boomer's approach to teaching golf is based on the idea that golf is a game of feel and instinct, rather than a mechanical process. He emphasizes the importance of developing a natural swing and a relaxed mental state, and provides practical exercises and drills to help golfers of all levels improve their game. On Learning Golf also includes a section on the history and traditions of the game, as well as tips for choosing equipment and playing in different weather conditions. With its clear and concise writing style, this book is an essential resource for anyone looking to improve their golf skills and knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

On Learning Golf is one of the foundations of modern golf instruction. In this work can be found the basic ideas taught by thousands of golf instructors, as well as the basics of golf psychology, conveyed through Boomer s unique blend of humour and anecdote. Percy Boomer taught his students to control the swing by feel, rather than by thought. He urged his students to learn a proper swing (and the same swing can be used for every shot) through intuition rather than by trying to understand the mechanics of a shot. For your swing use the mental image of turning within a barrel . Focus on making a good swing and not on the outcome of the shot. Practice without a hole to learn the feel. Generations of golfers, instructors and writers have learned from Boomer s methods and passed them onto tens of thousands more but now the modern golfer can go back to the source and learn directly from Percy Boomer.
It is in no way Percy Boomers fault that I have not yet discovered the elusive secret, and it has to be as a disciple of the game and not as a low-handicap player that I recommend On Learning Golf, in the hope that it will help to reduce its readers scores and discourage their opponents. --The Duke of Windsor
This classic instructional guide... In truth, this book is a blessed relief from much of modern-day instruction and its often-unhealthy and confusing reliance on gimmickry and video. --Scotland on Sunday
The book that professionals turn to and then recommend to their students... Percy Boomer... believed in teaching by feel rather than thought and generations have learnt from his expertise. --Golf Links
