MARTIN, H.B. [243] pp. John Lane The Bodley Head Limited 1928 8 7/8" x 6" "One picture," says the Chinese proverb, "is worth ten thousand words," and one of H.B. Martin's golf pictures is worth a dozen pages of word explanation. This original idea of teaching golf by diagrams is generally credited to H.B. Martin, who some fifteen years ago began to present in graphic form the teachings of the professional. All phases of the game are covered; no problem or situation with which either the amateur of experienced golfer may find himself confronted has been overlooked. Walter Hagen says: "I have enjoyed watching Martin work out these golf instruction problems with his pen. Ideas that i have gave him were presented in picture form in a way that the beginner could easily understand and remember. 'Kim Barnes and Joe Kirkwood also help in suggestions as did many others.'".
