Mr. Percy Alliss, who was lately champion of Wales and

Essex, has written in Better Golf a really lucid book about the game, illustrated by twenty-four action photographs. Especially clear are the author's remarks on the choice and care of clubs. He recommends 12 to 13 ounces as the ideal weight for a club ; only those who, after long trial, have failed to acquire the right snap of the wrists in hitting which gives length to a ball need use a heavier club in the attempt to gain more distance in driving. Crisp wrist action is better than weight of club ; nevertheless the latter is the last resort of the desperate. (Black. 5s.)
