1928 'Golfers Ten Commandments' Green Booklet

Offered here is a golf booklet from 1928 titled "Golfers Ten Commandments." It comes in great condition. The commandments are as follows:

"1st - Thou must take a perfect STANCE then golf will be on sweet romance.
2nd - Address the ball with loving care and keep your club-head on the SQUARE.
3rd - Slowly back the club you take, lots of TIME the shot to make.
4th - EYES on the ball, that's the stuff, to keep you from all tuff and RUFF.
5th - A backward stroke along the LINE, and presto! your drive is fine.
6th - The club starts down, it hardly moves, that's the way to make the GROOVES.
7th - When the club gets by the hip, is time enough to make it zip.
8th - Now snap your wrists, just like a shot, and hit the ball upon the spot.
9th - So when with ease you follow through, nothing then will make you blue.
10th - Do these things in perfect rhythm, you'll find yourself in Golfers Heaven.
P.S. - If you don't do these things as we say, surely there will be hell to pay."
