Jacobs is one of the foremost and most respected golf teachers the game has ever known. His reputation as an authority on the golf swing, with a sharp eye for detail and an uncanny talent for fixing faults, make him a magnet for aspiring young stars and experienced champions alike.

No one is better qualified to reveal the greatest golf lessons of the 20th century. He draws on all of his personal experience to offer a remarkable collection of personal anecdotes, short but insightful biographies of all the players, and expert swing analysis. He reveals 50 of the most telling lessons he has given to golf's greats over the years and highlights the secret to their successful swings.
Every major force in the game from Bobby Jones to Tiger Woods is subject to John's expert gaze and his thoughtful prognosis on what the club golfer can learn from these wonderful players is complemented by superb, specially commissioned artworks. 50 Greatest Golf Lessons of the Century affords players of all standards the chance to benefit from the very same lessons, and the same expert eye and wise words that have helped the best become even better.
