About this Item
Description:
Illustrated. 225 pages. Scarce first edition of Travis' Practical Golf. Another of golf's multi-dimensional men, Travis was a player, author, editor, and course designer.

Also, chapters on Caddies; Clubs; Club Shafts and Balls; Etiquette, Rules, Glossary of Technical Terms, Index, and Rules Index.
