"Prescription for Lowering Your Handicap. Take an author who has already established himself as one of the great golfers of all time, even though he has been a professional for only three years and is still in his early twenties. (His name is Jack Nicklaus; he made the instantaneous jump from amateur status to National Open winner in his very first year as a professional; he has already won just about every major title possible and seems likely to dominate the game for the next decade or two.) Make sure he is intelligent and can express his teaching philosophy about golf. (He is, and he can.) Work out with him the simplest, most concise method for teaching, one point at a time, ranging from important fundamentals to unusual personal tips which will pick up a stroke for you here and there. (This book has 55 lesson, each complete in itself and each fully explained in text and related drawings on each double-spread page. The reader may want to explore the entire book in one gulp because it's so varied and fascinating, but he might equally well open it at any point and merely try to assimilate one or two specific lessons at a time.) Commission the most talented and knowledgeable artist you can find to illustrate Nicklaus's instructions, and use as many colors in the printing as are necessary to make every action crystal clear. (His name is Francis Golden, and one glance at the drawings in this book, many in three and four colors, will show you that no golf instruction book has ever before been produced with such lavishness.) Add them all together, mix well, and you have the surefire prescription for lowering your golf score, whether you are a 20-handicap player or a scratch man." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
