Book Reviews of Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
Book Review: This is the Golf Bible!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this book for 20 years now, I still read it from time to time as it's interesting for me to read again and again.
And yes, like those comments above, you don't need to buy any of those golf gimmicks or trust golf instructors who have never played professional tour golf. I just think Ben Hogan has layed out the best set of golf instructions, well, if you've read the book, you know what I mean.
I play pro golf now and sometimes I try new golf techniques and find myself reverting back to Ben Hogan's modern fundamentals of golf.
If you look at every golf book made today about Tiger Woods, there's at least one mention back to this very book.
This book is also the "last" book Mr. Hogan wrote. There's another book called Power Golf by Ben Hogan but don't read that one because he wrote that when he was hooking everything, not winning all the majors.
This book is the most accurate description of what Ben Hogan wanted in his book.
Btw, Ben Hogan started making golf clubs. When there was a tiny error in his new golf clubs, he threw away like 300,000 sets of golf clubs to make new ones.
If he did that think what he put into this book. Thank you very much.
Summary of Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
You can shoot in the 70's!
Ben Hogan has long believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently -- and here, with Herbert Warren Wind, and artist Anthony Ravielli, he tells you, step by step, just how to go about it.
The greatest golfer of our generation has distilled his experience as teacher, player, and observer of golf into a series of richly illustrated "visual instructions" that not only can improve your game and lower your score, but also can help you get even more fun out of what many people already think is the most enjoyable game in the world.
Each chapter, each tested "fundamental" is explained and demonstrated with amazing detail and clarity. It's as though the master himself were right there at your elbow, giving you a personal lesson with the same thought and care that has gone into his lifetime of golf.
The Modern Fundamentals of Golf is no instant and easy shortcut. There is none. But with Ben Hogan as your pro, you can master these basic movements very quickly. And then you can go on to develop a correct, powerful swing that will repeat. As Ben Hogan says, it's only then that you'll "discover golf for the first time."
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.
