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.
Product Description

With the techniques revealed in this classic book, you can learn how to make your game work from tee to green, step-by-step and stroke by stroke. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations -- as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend. Whether you're a novice player or an experienced pro, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons is a must-have reference for anyone who knows that fundamentals are where champions begin.

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons October 13, 2008
Classic golf instruction from one of the revered masters. A must read for any serious student of the game.
 Outstanding Overview of the Fundamentals of Golf September 9, 2008
As one of the most skilled golfers of all time, one might expect material directly from Ben Hogan to be potentially complex and difficult to follow; however, this book is refreshingly easy to read and comprehend. In addition to very well articulated explanations on grips, stance, and swing mechanics, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons also contains many superbly hand drawn and detailed illustrations that permit one to easily understand each lesson. Repetition of the fundamentals will always prove to be most critical factor in any sport (meaning you have to get out there and play to make it work); however, unless you are already at a professional level of play, utilizing Ben Hogan's advice provided in this book will certainly improve your game...as it has mine.
Timeless lessons August 15, 2008
I picked this up to give my golf game a little boost and it didn't disappoint. Hogan simplifies many of the most essential elements of golf, including grip, stance, ball position, backswing, downswing, etc. All this info comes in a tight package and makes an excellent reference guide.
a must for every golfer August 12, 2008
this book is an absolute must have for anyone that is inspired to play the great game of golf. practicing and applying these fundamentals will improve your game - no question about it. superbly written and illustrated... it is the definitive golf "how to" instructional guide. i don't care how long you've been playing or at what caliber. if you've got a case of the shanks or are stuck on some bad habits, have a brush up with the book, and you'll be swimming.
