Highly collectible, first issue (1954) with completely unmarked text.

Demaret frequently teamed with his fellow Texan Ben Hogan in two man competitions. With this background to the degree anyone can, he tries, to give insight into the man. For those of you still looking for "Hogan's Secret" their is a chapter on Hogan's technique in this book. What takes this offering to another level of collectibles is the signature contained on the front end page from the author.
