The building blocks of winning golf -- from one of the masters of the game.

Ben Hogan, one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 -- if one applies oneself patiently and intelligently. 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.

Timeless lessons

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.

Good Learning Tool But Dangerous In The Wrong Hands

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons should be a must in every golfer's library. However, I believe this book can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Hogan appears to have been ahead of his time on some issues discussed in Five Lessons so there is a lot of good information to take away from this book. However, not everything he discusses is appropriate for every player. It takes a discerning eye to figure out what would be beneficial to an individual player and what would be detrimental.

The book is an easily read book with very good illustrations and there are five different main lessons which I have listed below...

* The Grip
* The Stance & Posture
* The First Part of the Swing
* The Second Part of the Swing
* Summary & Review

While I highly recommend this book and its lessons I can't overemphasize the benefit of a) getting fitted for your clubs by a qualified person and b) actual one on one instruction from a professional.

Outstanding Overview of the Fundamentals of Golf

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.
