I was amazed, and I've been playing this wonderful game for 40 years, how simple, yet detailed this book was. It covers the basics (Grip, Stance/Address, Back swing, Forward Swing and then a Review chapter and yes, those are the 5 lessons) in a way that a beginner can understand and some of us 'experienced' golfers can relearn what our swing should be.
In my slightly younger days, I used to play in the low 80's, and with Mr. Hogan's help, I'm getting back there again.
I also liked Percy Boomer's book, although it is much more a metaphysical approach to golf. Almost reminded me of Chevy Chase in the Caddyshack movie. Percy wants you to 'feel the swing', 'be one with the club head', etc. which has led me to practice my swing without a ball to hit, and that has also helped bring my swing back to a repeatable effort, not the jumble it had become. As Percy says, actually hitting the ball has become a big stumbling block in many golfers attempts to develop a good swing and just working on the swing can be a very good thing.

This book is really for someone who has learned enough about golf to realize that there is a LOT more to learn and refine. You obviously want to improve your game if you're reading this review, and you won't go wrong with this book. There are many excellent illustrations which many other authors have "borrowed", such as the piece of glass resting on the players shoulders to define the swing plane. It really helps to visualize your swing during practice or on the course. A very reasonable price makes this all the more sweet.
If you want to understand the fundamentals of how to properly hit a golf ball or what you might be doing wrong, this is a "must buy." After this, a few lessons from a good pro should help to get you well on your way to being a better player.
Another good, complimentary book for this is David Leadbetter's The Golf Swing.

This book can be very valuable to many golfers. I played for a few years in my late teens and early 20's mostly on par 3 courses. I stopped for a few years, but found myself wanting to jump back into the game. Playing on the par 3s it seemed as if I could hit my irons, but not my woods. I struggled with shots all over the place. I couldn't find any consistency. I have only had the book a few days now but I am seeing a little improvement. The book is pretty technical but it is a great foundation for a high-handicapper. Helps you understand why your shots can be off, and how you can fix them. If you want to get a better understanding of your own golf swing... pick up this book. |

Forget all the other gimmicks you see on television infomercials; the super drivers, wedges, trouble clubs, fairway woods, videos, swing trainers, etc. Also, don't pay any attention to the lessons presented monthly in the two leading golf magazines. They're often in conflict with each other and give you too many things to think about during the swing. If you really want to improve your golf, buy this book.
Written by one of golf's greatest players and clearest thinkers on the mechanics of the golf swing, this book will, in simple and concise language and wonderfully detailed drawings, improve your game. My belief is, someone who has trouble breaking 100 will be able to get to 90 in short order. Anyone who shoots bogey golf (90) will be able to work him or herself into the low 80's. And if you're like me, in the 7 to 10 handicap range, the book presents a number checks on the grip, stance, and swing plane so that if your game does occasionally go awry, you'll soon be back in the groove. Mr. Hogan was correct. Anyone who is reasonably coordinated and applies the principles detailed in this book, should be able to build a repeating swing and break 80 on a consistent basis.
I had to smile as I read some of the other reviews of this book. Like many of the other reviewers, I too have had to repurchase this book a number of times because of the difficulty in getting the book back from those I've loaned it to. Other than getting a lesson from a top flight teaching pro, this book will do more to improve your game than anything else that's on the market.
