This was the third episode in the "How I Play Golf" series of instructional shorts. The series was filmed at Lakeside and Flintridge Country Clubs in Hollywood, CA, where many movie stars were members. None of the actors were paid (except Bobby Jones) to appear in these film shorts; to be alongside Jones was renumeration enough. Jones appeared in another six similar episodes in 1933, in the "How to Break 90" series. He was paid $120,000 for the first 12 episodes plus a percentage of the gross ticket sales if the sales exceeded $360,000, which they did. He received another $60,000 for the six episodes in 1933.
Generally speaking, clubs had names and not numbers before World War 2. A niblick is the equivalent to a modern 9-iron. The only club names that have remained the same are the putter and driver.
The second club Jones demonstrates is the "mashie-niblick", which is the equivalent of a modern 7-iron.
