Item description from seller

Seattle, Washington: Star System Press, 1979. Very Good condition. Square and tight. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. We have only this one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. $12.50 printed price. Inscription at the end of the Foreword to: "Hal, May your golf rise higher + higher. " but signature below is illegible. Pages are otherwise clean and unmarked -- apparently seldom, if ever read. Illustrated with step-by-step how-to-do-it photos. Index. Bound in the original green-stamped yellow pictorial boards. The Golfing Machine, Its Construction, Operation, and Adjustment. G.O.L.F. stands for Geometrically Oriented Linear Force. From the Introduction: "It may be that an octopus -- or a "thing" from outer space -- would need a different procedure, but for people -shaped golfers there is actually only "one swing," as depicted in Chapter 8 and discussed in Chapter 7. This Basic Stoke is not a basic procedure but is basic geometry. Almost anyone can do an imitation that could appear to the untrained eye to be as good looking as those of many experts. And all that would need to be added would be more precision in the Component relationships. And that this book can supply. In fact, that is all it is intended to supply. Without that 'Basic Motion' it couldn't even do that. See 3-0. The relationships in the Golf Stroke can be explained scientifically only by geometry, because geometry is the science of relationships. So learn Feel from Mechanics rather than Mechanics from Feel. 'Alignment Golf' -- Feel from Mechanics -- dispenses with all dependence on 'mandatory' Positions, which can be perfectly executed and still miss the ball. They facilitate things but guarantee nothing -- unless you know the relations that are supposed to facilitate.". 1979 edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No jacket, probably as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xi, 232pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
