Presentation copy, lengthily inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "To Al Nelson: I hope that this book will help you to enjoy life, and also this great game of golf to its fullest. Sincerely Harvey Penick." Additionally signed by professional golfer Tom Kite and two-time Masters Tournament champion Ben Crenshaw on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

The legendary Harvey Penick, whom Sports Illustrated called the “Socrates of the golf world,” began his golfing career as a caddie in Austin, Texas, at the age of eight, and over the course of nearly a century worked with an amazing array of champions. In this classic book, which is named for the red notebook he always kept, Penick’s simple, direct, practical wisdom pares away the hypertechnical jargon that’s grown up around the golf swing, and lets all golfers, whatever their level, play their best.
