Rare 1927 U.S. Open (Oakmont) Book

        Offered here is the rare 1927 U.S. Open book titled The Mechanics of a Golf Swing and the Technique of the Contestants at Oakmont, Pittsburgh Open Tournament 1927 by Frank Harris Floyd. Floyd met with and followed some of the top golf stars of the day, including Bobby Jones, and analyzed their golf swings at the 1927 U.S. Open before publishing this book. This book is rarely found, with the most recently example selling in a recent PBA Galleries auction for $480 in much lesser condition.
