A vintage golf instruction paperback by 1969 Open Champion Tony Jacklin, notable for its unique "flip-book" photographic sequences — flipping the outside edges of the pages creates a cinematic effect showing the complete motion of the drive, short iron, and sand blast strokes. Covers grip, stance, and the full swing, plus troubleshooting sections on fades, hooks, slicing, shanking, and topping. A fun, tactile piece of golfing memorabilia from the height of Jacklin's fame after his historic 1969 Open and 1970 US Open wins.
