This book contains written instruction by Jock Hutchinson, who won the 1920 PGA championship and the British Open at St. Andrews in 1920.  He also won the inaugural senior PGA Championship in 1937 at Augusta National and then won it again in 1947. The written instructions are interleaved with diagrams demonstrating the putt, the hook shot, the drive and brassie, and the grip for wood and iron shots. • Created in conjunction with this book by the publisher were 6 life size charts meant to be stood upon and accompany the instruction narrative. There is an ad for these charts in the book.  Remarkably the consignor has found these charts and they are included with this lot. Unlisted in D&J, OCLC WorldCat, and Alastair Johnston's Golf Library 2013. There is only one other book by Hutchison, “Better Golf” listed in D&J.
