Find the simplicity. In the forties, this must have been a bold statement. Even in the nineties, to affirm simplicity takes a conviction born only of practice and profound experience." - from the new foreword by W. Timothy Gallwey, author of The Inner Game of Golf. "Originally published in England in 1946, Live Hands is a delightful book with timely insight into the game of golf." - from the rear outer jacket. "Life Hands: A Key to Better Golf by Eric Prain was originally published in England in 1946. Mr. Prain was an accomplished golfer who played for the Cambridge University team. His love of the game is self-evident in this charminngly literary book. This reprint of the golf classic now features a new foreword by W. Timothy Gallwey, author of the Inner Game of Golf and The Inner Game of Tennis: "To speak of the 'spark' that must jump between hands and clubhead is to speak about a dimension of golf that feww have the courage to write about, but most who play the game know is real." The original introduction is by Bernard Darwin, Captain of the Royal and ANcient Golf Club of St. Andrews, 1934-35, probably the most widely-respected golf writer in the world in the 1940s. What emerges from Prain's book is, Darwin says, ".a simplified faith in which all such tiresome things as hips and shoulders, and knees appear only as followers .of the vital and dominant hands.".
