273.3Check it outHOGAN::DEADYMon May 23 1988 16:156
    
    As a side note to this book, I have it, it was published in 1984
    and prices/values/club entries are a bit out-dated. If you order
    one and it is a newer version please post it here.

        Thanks for the info guys..  I will give them a call and see
        if Golfworks has any. As I live in Australia its a bit hard
        for me to get to Cincinatti OH so Golfworks is the best bet...

    Percy Boomer: "On Learning Golf"
    
    
    
    Has anyone read the book "On Learning Golf," by Percy Boomer?  
    I have seen it referenced in the Golf Digest article on David
    Leadbetter, a hot teacher of PGA Tour stars.
    
    Boomer is a British author and I'm not sure if the book has
    had widespread distribution in the U.S.

    	I have read the book several times...EXCELLENT....
    
    	Our local library has a copy (that is where I fist read it)
    	and I purchased a copy at Fran Johnson's Nevada Bob's.
    
    	Many critics have it rated as one of the BEST ever written
    	on instructional golf.

                          -< Stay inside the barrel >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I read this many (many!) years back, when I was first getting into
    the game, and if I'd just stuck with it instead of devouring
    everything ever written about golf, I'd probably be a better player
    today. About all I remember was that one should turn as though one
    were inside a barrel (to prevent swaying, lurching, etc). It is
    truly one of the classics.
