Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780671723019; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...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: 5 Date: 2010-01-29 Summary: Why, why, why ??!! ... Why didn't I start with this book 3 years ago? I would have saved myself so many headaches. 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. Hogan, somehow, knows exactly the correct words to use to describe 'feelings' and pressure points... it goes on to the full swing from there. He is VERY detailed in his descriptions, yet manages to convey the images and positions ...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

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-22 Summary: Enticemennt ... I liked this book because it has great pictures and it includes information such as green fees, but I felt a few of the choices weren't so good. But it is great for short reads to inspire one to golf more and to dream of better lies. ...more

Golf My Way: The Instructional Classic, Revised and Updated
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780743267120; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-20 Summary: Before Tigermania there was this guy named Jack... ... And his book is an excellent read for anyone who plays the game. Jack shares an awful lot of what made him the greatest golfer of his time (and I'm still not convinced of all time). Having owned the original, the revised version is even better. This book is a must for any golfer's library. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-04-14 Summary: Great insights, but not an easy book for golf beginners ... Jack does a great job in going through his swing, and it provides quite some interesting and thought-provoking suggestions on why he did things a certain way. Nevertheless, the book is quite long to read, and in my opinion, requires already some understanding about how a golf swing works. For this, I would suggest golf newcomers to start with Ben Hogan's "Five lessons" first. Building on that one, Jack's book offers an array of options to adapt and improve your swing, doubtless. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-03 Summary: Another Worthwhile Classic Golf Instruction Book ... I have the original 1974 version -- from the era when woods were actually made of wood. Recently ordered the updated version just to see what Mr. Nicklaus amended from the original. Basics are the same . . . Doesn't matter which one you have, both are excellent. Highly recommend. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-15 Summary: very interesting, lots of good info ... I enjoyed this book and found a lot of helpful information and interesting history. Nicklaus was just a little before my golfing "time" so I know who is but not a lot about him. The book talks a lot about his career history - that was great. The instruction information is also very good an easy to understand. He gets bogged down and repeats himself sometimes. Still worth the read for any golfer. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Hailed as a classic and read everywhere golf is played, Golf My Way has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide since it was first published in 1974.
