In 1887, Sir Walter Simpson wrote a book titled “The Art Of Golf “. In this book he emphasized that in golf “there is one categorical imperative — HIT THE BALL! “. There are no minor absolutes.”
Thirty-three years later, an Englishman named Ernest Jones who had during World War I lost his right leg just below the knee, returned to playing golf. In spite of his handicap, his golf career propelled him into one of golf’s premier teachers.
His book “Swing The Clubhead” published in 1952 is an instructional classic.
In this book Jones writes “The body and all its parts should be treated as disastrous leaders but wholly admirable followers of the action of the hands and fingers”.
