With 12pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end. Joyce Wethered, later Lady Heathcoat-Amory, is widely regarded at the finest British woman golfer of all time. She won the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship four times (1922, 1924, 1925, and 1929) and the English Ladies' champion for five consecutive years (192024). This notable work provides a comprehensive account of style and play, and contains early examples of 'action' photography (including some sequences credited to Pathe) to illustrate technique. SCARCE.
