“I’ll show you how I grip >7my clubs, take
my stance for a drive, a /ymashie pitch, an
iron shot or on the green. C/I’ll show you how
to get back spin on your approach, how to
overcome ‘pull’ or ‘slice.’
“And I’ll do it right in your library, stand there
before you, take the rough spots out of your
game, give you all the time you want to study
details.
“I don’t just tell you how—I show you. And
I do it through the wonderful invention of
Corte-Scope Golf
w^hich throws my picture before you as clearly as though I
were only six feet away.”
