Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library.
Product Description
The building blocks of winning golf -- from one of the masters of the game.Ben Hogan, one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 -- if one applies oneself patiently and intelligently. With the techniques revealed in this classic book, you can learn how to make your game work from tee to green, step-by-step and stroke by stroke. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations -- as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend. Whether you're a novice player or an experienced pro, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons is a must-have reference for anyone who knows that fundamentals are where champions begin.

The greatest ever book, by far, on the golf swing April 19, 2008
Hogan's book has been continuously in print for over fifty years. Most other golf swing books, in contrast, disappear from print after just a few short years. Hogan's book is exceptionally clear and detailed about all the swing fundamentals. Consequently one can always figure out, when needs must, what's going wrong with one's swing and how to correct it.
Hogan's book is also unique in demonstrating how each swing fundamental links with the others. Other golf swing books, in contrast, tend to be compilations of swing tips. So, where other books provide swing band-aids, Hogan's illuminates and helps develop real understanding.
Hogan's book has been called, rightly in my opinion, 'the bible of the golf swing'. All modern golf swing theorists, as is clear from their writings, just repackage or add footnotes to Hogan.
Go to the source, to the benefit of both swing and understanding, read Hogan's timeless classic.
The quickest way to a great swing... April 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first book review ever, but I don't understand why there aren't any reviews for the book posted.
This is by far the easiest most to the point book I have read on the golf swing so far. I am ok at putting and got so, so much from Dave Pelz Short Game Bible, but have never had a lesson on the full golf swing. I promise if you read this book and spend even just a little time practicing Hogan's Fundamentals, you will be swinging much better instantly! Awesome!
