1929 'My Twelve Most Difficult Shots' Booklet by Bobby Jones & Grantland Rice


In this hard to find first edition 1929 book, Bobby Jones recalls different situations from his career and narrates playing the shots. These include putting in the rain in the 1921 USGA Amateur championship; fighting the wind in the 1920 Western Open; playing the 17th hole at St. Andrews; Lucky shots; Shooting 30 on the second nine at Flossmore in Chicago; overcoming difficulties with the driver; an interesting account of a match in 1926 against Hagen, where Jones learned that hitting your best shot is not always the one to play; approaching difficult greens; controlling your irons in cross winds; losing two strokes to save one; taking your time and not blowing up; and lastly getting out of traps. This book remains in good condition. Please see photographs for a more complete condition report.
