Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
Ben Hogan
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 334
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.
About the AuthorHerbert Warren Wind has been called "the best golf writer in
captivity." His works include Thirty Years of Championship Golf
(with Gene Sarazen), The Story of American Golf, and The
Complete Golfer.
