Has anyone here read Johnny Miller’s “Pure Golf” book?

Okay…I have a copy ordered…anyone interested can pick up a used copy of this book for about $5.00 on Amazon.

Additionally, Johnny’s teacher, John Geertsen, has a book called Golf: Your Turn for Success- easy to see Miller’s foundational roots.
As an interesting aside … here is great article about the golf clubs Johnny Miller was using when he won the 1973 US Open:

This article above further documents including multiple nice pictures, a recreation of Miller’s 1973 set. This recreation also included: his Wilson Dyna-Powered sand wedge was 14 years old. His Acushnet Bulls Eye putter came from 1952. His MacGregor “Velocitized” driver was built in 1961. His fairway woods were ancient. The Tommy Armour MacGregor 3-Wood was 28 years old, and the 4-wood was 32 years old. I don’t think anybody today realizes how old those clubs were when he was using them. Enjoy!
PS: He switched to playing and endorsing Wilson in 1975, and by his own admission, he’s said his feel for striking the golf ball was never quite the same. That said, he was playing Wilson in the 1975 Masters when Miller and Weiskopf finished 2nd to Jack Nicklaus.
