"It is a hard game, mighty hard, if you have to learn all these little factors from experience, but if the player can get the right idea in his mind the shots are not difficult to play. That is why so many golfers in talking about the game keep saying, "It is all mental," as though there was some mysterious gift which made a golfer of a man. I never took much stock in any method of playing a stroke which could not be explained, and I think the average golfer is built the same way. Of course, after a thousand attempts with as many different schemes for playing a shot, and still without success, a player is apt to despair, but he should not. Any man of average intelligence and physique can play shots as well as the best of them if he can get the correct basis to work upon in his head." Marshall Whitlatch 1910, 1921

Download : "The left wrist does not just tow the clubhead along indefinitely; somewhere at a variable point with each player, and for various shots, it will help the right hand to whip the clubhead through. It gives a back-handed kick on its own." 'THE PRO. AT WORK' By Henry Cotton Open Champion 1934, 1937 and 1948
