    Old golf books

    Anyone heard of the book The Four Magic Moves to Winning Golf by Joe Dante Friend sent me a PDF copy. Intersting read as it was published originally in 1962 but seems to be very much in line with Brians teachings (Axis tilt, open face problems, etc) Seems a better read than any of the "Pop"...

Watching a video of Brian discuss the pivot with another teacher it would seem that Brian described on the downswing the weight settles on the...
