Buy-it-now is a remarkably preserved, investment-grade copy of the iconic 1972 vintage novelty classic: Basic Golf by Bob Gordon.
Published by the American Publishing Corporation out of Waltham, Massachusetts, this highly sought-after 1970s pop-culture artifact features genuine, practical golf instruction paired with a tongue-in-cheek, campy delivery. The book is famous for its stylized retro cartoon illustrations juxtaposed against full-color photographs of nude models demonstrating stance, grip, and sand-trap techniques.
