For those who truely want to improve.
The first point to make about this book is its age. You have to appreciate when this was written and then apply the thoeries into todays game. This book was years ahead of its time and will genuinley help you improve - if you digest and implement what is being said. I first read this book in 1986 and decided to buy it again recently as I new my game needed an overhaul. Having read through and spending a few weeks patiently practising the drills and movements I started to play some of the best golf in years. This is not a quick fix manual, nor is it plush with lavish photos of pros and courses. Its is a an absolute gem in its simple presentation which allows you to 100% concentrate on improving your technique. Ben Hogan was one of the greatest golfers of all time - and this book shows you exactly why.
COMPELLING
This is an excellent read for all levels of golfer. The book is so detailed it even explains where the golfer should develop hard patches of skin on their hands ! Readers should be aware that Hogans thoughts on the golf swing differ form other practicioners, so those who follow its dictates to the letter will find themselves with a distinctive swing. The swing path is much more around the body than many of the modern players more upright swings. The nearest modern player I can think of who comes close is Garcia. In order to fully appreciate the book I also recommend Jim Mcleans video of Hogan.
Vintage instruction that works today
I had been trying to get hold of this book for some time (not since 1957 I should hasten to add) and I wasnt disappointed when it finally arrived. Unlike many modern golf books which have gone overboard on theory and drills the book is clear, concise, easy to follow and SHORT. The diagrams are beautifully drawn and Hogans instruction is both practical and effective. Throw away all of your golf books apart from this and Dave Pelzs Short Game Bible and your game will improve dramatically. Hogans philosophy is that golf (for the amateur) is essentially a simple game, and I for one would now agree with him.
For those who truely want to improve.
