More About This Book

Overview

You can shoot in the 70's!

Ben Hogan has long believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently — and here, with Herbert Warren Wind, and artist Anthony Ravielli, he tells you, step by step, just how to go about it.

The greatest golfer of our generation has distilled his experience as teacher, player, and observer of golf into a series of richly illustrated "visual instructions" that not only can improve your game and lower your score, but also can help you get even more fun out of what many people already think is the most enjoyable game in the world.

Each chapter, each tested "fundamental" is explained and demonstrated with amazing detail and clarity. It's as though the master himself were right there at your elbow, giving you a personal lesson with the same thought and care that has gone into his lifetime of golf.

The Modern Fundamentals of Golf is no instant and easy shortcut. There is none. But with Ben Hogan as your pro, you can master these basic movements very quickly. And then you can go on to develop a correct, powerful swing that will repeat. As Ben Hogan says, it's only then that you'll "discover golf for the first time."

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Golf god Hogan released this primer in 1957. The five "lessons" covered are the grip, stance and posture, the first part of the swing, the second part of the swing, and a summary and review. Each lesson is well described and pictured in numerous, detailed illustrations. The basics of hitting a ball with a club haven't changed much since this debuted, so this still offers valuable advice from one of the greats. Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

And he has observed and studied all the great champions in action, from the age of Hagen to that of Hogan.

    In my opinion, Hogan is really probably the only person in the history of the game that has "solved" the golf swing. The information in here is timeless and should be carefully read. Of course practice is essential. Also, remember his techniques are not for everyone. Make sure, even if you learn something new, to NOT forget something that you are currently doing properly in your golf swing. Happy golfing :)

    Great book for experienced golfers and newcomers alike.

    This is the perfect book for all golfers. If you are just starting out it summarizes the important points you need to practice to develop a good swing. If you are a long-time golfer it serves a a reminder of what makes a good golf swing. I carry this book with me in by golf bag so I can consult it on the course.

    A great book, but this is Hogan's unique swing and likely not yours...

    Read "Practical Golf" by John Jacobs - it will help you FAR more than Hogan's book. Jacob's might be the best teacher that's ever written on the subject of gold instruction.

    Great Information

    This book is extremely detailed in its explanation of the golf set-up, swing, etc. It's a little hard to read because of all the detail, but it is worth reading if you really want to find out why your game is not as good as you want it to be.

    Possibly the best "how to" books on golf.

    Ben Hogan is one of the all time greats in the game of golf. His book is simple, straightforward, illustrated very well and has outlived many another golf book. The five fundamentals of golf are emphasized through and through and the illustrations are demonstrative throughout the book.

    The most basic but helpful of all golf instructional books I have read.

    His simple layered approach has helped my game get over the hump. Formerly a low 90s shooter I can generally shoot in the low 80s, even on tough courses. I constantly review for tune-ups. Read slowly, read carefully.

    more from this reviewer

    The First Book on the Modern Golf Swing

    This book is a dangerous book to read. Hogan was concerned about avoiding a hook which is usually something only good golfers have to be concerned about. Also, Hogan was a natural left hander who played right handed thus his left hand was his stronger hand which probably contributed to problems with a hook early in his career. Hogan solved his hook problems with a palmy left hand grip and other methods that will not work for most golfers.
    Nevertheless, this book is a best seller 50 years after it was written and most of what Hogan said is useful to most people. But also read The Fundamentals of Hogan by David Leadbetter as a necessary corrective.

    Perfection Results from Practice

    Ben Hogan was perhaps the greatest tee to green player in the history of golf. His grizzled wisdom is eloquently written and drawn in an exacting manner. The lessons are practical, and theoretical. The motions are simple, but at the same time very complex. Hogan comes through, and the fundamentals here are keystones of any good ball striker. A consistent, powerful, and repeating swing is a hallmark of all the pros. This book enables golfers to approach this level of reliability and excellence.

    Timeless Basics - A MUST HAVE

    This book is excellent. Ben has transcended time. Swings change, but not the fundamentals and Hogan's book is as accurate today as it was when he played. Simple explanations for every level of golfer. People may not know this, but many tour players carry this book in their golf bags for quick reference. Beginners can understand it and Professionals appreciate it.

    No Other Than Hogan

    This book is the light to the dark aspects we constantly beat our selfs over in every aspect of the golf swing. The first reference every golfer should look up to remember the finest components of the golf swing.

    Hogan was a genious!!!

    Hogan is undoubtedly one of the greatest golfers of all time. This book allows an insight of the fundamentals in which Hogan used while he was grinding daily on his game. It is not only his swing, but his explanation that makes this great!!!

    When you admit it's time to really learn the game!

    This book is detailed, to some that is boring. If you follow every word, and practice what is taught, you will greatly improve your long game.I was lucky to hit 20% of my drives long and straight. I am better than 50%, 200+ in the fairway, and improving. Thanks Ben wherever you are!
