A long-hitting golfing giant with 'the touch of a portrait painter' on the green - that is the controversial,enigmatic Harry Weetman,whose highly powered driving and exquisitely controlled putting have inspired golfers all over the world.Weetman,the English British Ryder Cup and Canada Cup golfer,who is the professional at the Selsdon Park club in Surrey, sets out to answer questions facing every golfer: How to add yards to your drive,How to analyse your swing and improve it,How to play accurate 'target' golf,How to master 'method' putting and how to make the best of your own game.Partnered by John Ballantine,an experienced sportswriter,Weetman spurns the fallacies of traditional golf instruction and sticks to fundamentals.This is a new kind of golf book that combines a frank analysis of the difficulties and limitations of the average golfer with a simple yet compelling approach to modern,attacking golf in the Weetman manner.With the help of many graphic action photographs, Weetman examines the secrets of power golf and crystallizes the basic movements involved.The book is brought to life with stories of his golfing life and of personalities like Sam Snead (see my book ID rja651916), Palmer,Hogan,Cotton,Rees,Bradshaw,Faulkner,and Player,told with a humour and insight that matches Weetman's skill with the clubs. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices, weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
