Product ReviewsBen Hogan's Five Lessons : The Modern Fundamentals of Golf by Ben Hogan (1990, Hardcover, Reprint)

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons by Ben Hogan (1990)

Most valuable single volume I've read.

I'm a 52 year old who started golf about 18 months ago. After a year of shooting around 112 I found a pro I like, took some lessons, and started reading something other than magazines.

This book helped me understand some of the pro's points better. The chapter on the grip is the best I've seen. Hogan's chapter on stance and muscle use combined with his thought, " start the back swing with the hands; start the downswing with the left hip probably took 4 or five strokes off my game in two weeks.

Read this first, then Penicks, "Little Red Book."

If you want pretty pictures, lots of options and maybe and too much information get Golf Magazine's "Golf Illustrated."

If you want simple clear graphics that communicate the fundamentals of a solid swing this is the book for you.

Last game was an honest 93 with 14 fairways hit, two greens in regulation, four pars and a birdie. Three strokes for a lost ball on one of the bad t shots. Look out 80s here I come.

Don't forget to have fun.

One of the best….

A great historical view of Ben Hogan’s game. Many of the pros that played against him consider him to be the best ball striker of all time. The greatest mystery is whether or not Hogan had “the” secret to golf. This book outlines his method and can help any golfer as his basic tips are still relevant today. Not to be overlooked is the artwork of Anthony Ravelli, undoubtedly the best golf illustrator of all time. One of the earlier classic golf instruction books of all time…a must have for not only the insight into Hogan’s game but the historical significance of the book itself, considered by many as the best golf instruction book of all time!Read full review...

A goal without a plan is just a dream. This is my plan!

This book has help me to understand what I was trying to do without knowing how. Sometimes we do not know what we don't know.

Now I can understand a lot more of what I am supposed to be trying to achieve in my golf swing. I am a long way off, but I now better understand how to get there.

It is a great road map. I must put in the work to get there.Read full review...

Hit it like Hogan

So Hogan had a hook and this book shows how he fixed it and what helped him maintain a repeatable swing he could count on. If you hook it then this info will help a lot, or if you’re just starting out in golf this is definitely a good read.Read full review...

Ben Hogan five lessons

I have owned this book for two years. My swing needed an overhaul. Hogan gives detail almost like a doctor or kinesiologist. The book is not intended for me to be Mr. Hogan but the book explains detail about the golf muscles especially the hands, and hold the arms work together in unison with the golfers body. Thank you, Dr. HoganRead full review...

Best All Around Golf Manual

I personally think it is one of the best all around golf manuals on the market. Hogan breaks it down into 5 simple to follow and remember lessons. For a new golfer, it would be a great learning tool; for the avid golfer, it would be a great reference book, and refresher course. I find myself going back and looking up small details from stance, to grip, to weight distribution...again, a great ALL AROUND book!

I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their golf game.Read full review...
