[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.

[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

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-09 Summary: A must have must do if you play golf ... If you play golf once a week or every day this book is a must read, especially if you are in the over 50 crowd and your range of motion has suffered from years of neglect, meaning stretching, weight training, fitness walking, biking etc. To jump out of the car and into the cart is an invitation for injury even if you are young and fit. It's just that the young and fit don't break as easily or quickly as the older and stiffer like myself. What I like about this book is that he covers all the aspects of how to play good ...more

Conventional wisdom suggests that the twisting nature of the golf swing is the sole culprit. But research conducted by sports-medicine specialist Vijay Vad, M.D., reveals that the swing is only one...more

As a fairly recent "elder golfer" (I started at 67) with 3 years' experience, I prefer to think of this product as a "Reference for the Rest of Us" - although it did have many strong tips that are improving my game. This I treat as a guide to the process rather than a cheat-sheet for the final exam. ...more

[2] ... Review | If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemon wedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by CBS commentator Gary McCord, one of the game's most colorful--and knowledgeable--characters. It's a wonderful, often hilarious, never boring introduction to the game. Don't let the foreword by Kevin Costner or the afterword by Hootie and the Blowfish confuse the issue; this is a terrifically sound, easy-to-follow primer. McCord's potato-chip drill--yes, potato-chip drill--will revolutionize your swing,...more
