Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: Zen Golf - perfect fix for the mental game ... If you are having trouble with your mental focus in golf, this is the book for you.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: Zen Golf ... This is a great addition to the reading list for serious golfers. It deals exclusively with the mental side of the game.

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-27 Summary: Simply eye-opening! ... This book is quite unique in a sense that it doesn't teach much of your swing technique or putting skills. I'm into ZEN a lot nowadays, and I loved this book's concept pretty well. I encountered a Zen monk during my flight on the way back from Japan and ended up talking to him about this book to the Zen monk! He liked the idea, and adding that the ultimate form of "ZEN GOLF" is to think nothing when you do your swing, and it's well said indeed. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-02 Summary: great book ... Fast easy reading. Great instructions and insights into the game of golf from one of the greatest. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-02 Summary: Ben Hogans five lessons ... 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 ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: A book which is a must for every golfer ... This book is absolutely great. 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. Hogan explains things very clearly and makes good arguments on what should be done and what leads to different kind of solutions. A must buy for all golfers. Amen. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-20 Summary: Essential reading for the serious golfer ... 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. 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. Hogan's lessons, probably like all the swing examples you're going to come across, are deceptively simple. At the end, he tells you that you can learn the fundamentals in about 6 months. Well, I've been working on them for three years, and it's just in the last ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | 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...more
[2] ... Review | 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....more
Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780310318859; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-10 Summary: Great book for golf... and LIFE! ... This is a great book for golf... and for life. Golfers will like the principles relating to playing really good golf. However, the spiritual component is critical for a good life. I suspect that it's how many of the good golfers keep their perspective on the course. And the golf principles are probably used by many on the PGA tour to help keep their focus while keeping it "simple." Let's face it, golf is a great game but it is still a game. And so few golf-lovers can play it for a living so they are blessed. But we ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-31 Summary: Not just a book about golf ... This is a truly inspirational book, which focuses far more on life lessons than golf lessons. This is a a great read... whether you are a golfer or not. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-24 Summary: Excellent book about golf, life, and Truth ... David Cook is a fantastic writer and draws the reader in with the characters and principles found in this book. It is so much more than a great golf book. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-11 Summary: Incredible Book ... What a tremendous book about Golf and Faith. In the story Dr. Cook does an incredible job of getting us inside the head of an unnamed tour pro who is struggling to find his game. With the help of Johnny, he finds a lot more. I highly recommend this book. ...more

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-02 Summary: USGA lingo better interpretated ... Easy to read and somewhat easy to find a specific ruling. Poorly indexed. They have a long way to go in making rules easier to understand but have made a good start. ...more
