Additional Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf Information

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."

What Customers Say About Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf:

Fast easy reading. Great instructions and insights into the game of golf from one of the greatest.

I found the book to be very helpfull, the price was right and the shipping was ontime.I am a beginner and find it confusing to have so many differant view points on golf.In every direction you turn. Ben hogans teachings are of the basic fundamentals and start off right from the grip to the stance.I believe when you are talented and practise 8 hours a day there is almost no right or wrong in any sport. Just look at (Charles Barkley)This book gets some of the real basic fundamentals for the rest of us on the right track. And when I have a chance I need to buy another because I spilled coffee on mine :)

Hogan, somehow, knows exactly the correct words to use to describe 'feelings' and pressure points. I would have saved myself so many headaches. Why didn't I start with this book 3 years ago. it goes on to the full swing from there. Book is worth every cent if just for the first chapter on GRIP, which is infintely better at describing a correct grip than any other text, photos or images I've seen in books, videos, the web. Mr. He is VERY detailed in his descriptions, yet manages to convey the images and positions with words the first time you read it (unlike any other golf texts I've come across. you know, the ones where you have to read them a few times and struggle to figure out what, exactly, the person is trying to describe).A must read, don't wait.

This book is absolutely great. Hogan explains things very clearly and makes good arguments on what should be done and what leads to different kind of solutions. Things that Hogan has discovered a half a century (and more) ago are still very valid. This book has offered me more explanations on the fundaments of golf than eny other golf pro, magazine or video I've bumped into. A must buy for all golfers. Amen.

Hogan's lessons, probably like all the swing examples you're going to come across, are deceptively simple. I feel as though I'll be able to shoot in the 70's this coming season, and this wouldn't be a prospect at all without Hogan's book. When I went to my first pro, he mentioned this book, and I've found it to be my best guide to learning the swing. Hogan also says, early in the book, that the average person who learns the fundamentals that he teaches in his five lessons can then go and break 80. I consider myself a slow learner, with no aptitude at all for this game, or any other game that requires good coordination. At the end, he tells you that you can learn the fundamentals in about 6 months. Now, I'm quite sure he's right.

It took me a long time to understand fully many of his teaching points. I also recommend Tour Tempo: Golf's Last Secret Finally Revealed and Swing Like a Pro, and, of course, many of the instructional videos on YouTube. If you're serious about learning the proper swing and willing to do all the arduous practice, you have to read and study this book. Well, I've been working on them for three years, and it's just in the last couple of weeks that I've felt that I really have the basic essentials of a decent swing. It seemed like a stretch to me when I first read that, but I believed him. He's so clear that I thought I understood, but I really didn't, not until I had put in months and months (totalling, now, three years) of practice. So most people can probably learn what he teaches in about the six months he says it takes, if you practice seriously.
