Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
As stated in our last blog, we have decided to name what we believe are the three best golf instruction books ever written. In our last blog we named Jack Nicklaus’s Golf My Way as the third best golf book ever written. Today we reveal the number two book on our list …… Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf.
Blasphemy the crowd shouts. It is virtually unanimous that Five Lessons is the finest golf instruction manual ever written.
Written by one of golf’s greatest players and finest experts on the mechanics of the golf swing, this book, written in simple and
succinct language, will improve everyone’s game. Hogan doesn’t just tell you what to do, he explains why. He shows how to make a basic repeatable swing that can be used with every club. This makes the game so simple.
Actually a series of 5 magazine articles, Hogan decided not to release them weekly but rather over a greater period of time so his readers could fully comprehend each article before going on to the next one.
I have read this book again and again and, while I understand what it says, for some reason I did not really understand the golf swing until I read my number one book. The fault probably lies with me and not with the book.
Every golfer should own this book and study it until it falls apart. You can’t go wrong when his name is Hogan.
As always do not forget to check out our TheEscapePlace stores on eBay, Amazon and Bonanza.
They will help your golf game and more!
Remember to keep ‘em in the fairway.
