This book is a necessity for collectors who gain the same thrill from a $40 purchase of a set of banged-up Gene Sarazen woods as a Ralph Tug Tyler driver. Main sections include

PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
This book helps fill a large gap in understanding a great era of golf, 1919 to 1942, the period of change from the hickory or wooden shaft to steel and innovations in production and designs by great designers - many of who not only designed clubs but are amongst the greatest golfers ever. The book introduces the metal and pyratone covered metal shafted clubs of 1919 - 1942 and the slow retreat until 1932 when very few clubs were made with hickory shaft.
