Swing the Clubhead (Golf digest classic series)

Ernest Jones, arguably the greatest golf instructor of all time, improves your golf game with a simple, three word philosophy--swing the clubhead.

Once considered a promising professional golfer in the early part of the 20th Century, Jones found himself on the front lines of World War One.

The secret to the perfect swing was not in the body, he deduced, but in the mind.

This book, considered by many golf pros to be the best ever written on the subject, is the end result of Ernest Jones's journey from a wartime hospital bed to a triumphant return to the fairways.

- Ernest Jones's revolutionary techniques for visualizing and swinging
- Exercises and drills to perfect your swing the Ernest Jones way
