Episode Description from the Publisher

Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne continue the book series by comparing Claude's top 50 most influential golf instruction books against Grok's top 20, focusing on the titles the two lists disagree on. Along the way: Tommy Armour's hands-first gospel, Bobby Jones as a writer, Harry Vardon, Seymour Dunn's geometry, the flip-book that taught Ben Doyle, Alex Morrison's footwork revolution and the banked right heel in early Hogan and Snead film, the pre-accident Hogan sequences in Power Golf, and the swing science shelf from David Williams to Mark Broadie's Every Shot Counts.The strongest take of the episode: John Jacobs' Practical Golf belongs in any legitimate top 10, and Sam has the Zane Scotland story to prove it. Two tweaks from Jacobs turned a struggling Challenge Tour player into a European Tour card holder in a matter of weeks.Coming soon: the remaining 25 books, 80 more swings from the greatest swings list, and the Brian Manzella Teacher Hall of Fame episode before Christmas.Be your own coach.
