FINALLY: THE GOLF SWING'S SIMPLE SECRET - A revolutionary method proved for the weekend golfer to significantly improve distance and accuracy from day one
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-29 Summary: The best money you will ever spend in a golf book ... This small honest book is a jewel. The author has been able to identify and provide easy fixings for 3 elements of the swing that made a great difference for me. Upper arms, shoulder rotation, and lag. The title is more ambitious than the book. The best money ever spent in golf. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-22 Summary: Not quite there yet ... I took the instruction to the range, but teeing off with my three wood, I found this swing produced a pretty severe hook. My driver was better, long and high with a draw. Maybe Mr. Tamayo felt the need to keep the text within some range (this would have been better achieved by editing the rationale behind some of his teaching ), but I think a chapter on troubleshooting the swing would be highly welcomed. ...more

I read 3/4 of the book early before my Sunday round and was amazed at the improvement in my ball striking the very first time and with limited time to go through thepractice drills. The principles are simple and limited. I intend to review the principles before each round. This is a no brainer if you want a better score. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-31 Summary: 2 Tips to make Ben Hogan's swing easier to accomplish ... This is without a doubt the only golf book you should read. Every tip and every explanation is a revelation. From the grip pointing at your chin and right ear, to your stance, the takeaway, and the downswing, everything makes sense.

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
