Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library.

Summary: Five Lessons: Modern Fundamentals of Golf
Comment: This book is a classic golf instruction text -- without a doubt the best such book. I read this book at least once per year just to fine tune my golf swing -- or anytime the golf demons try to attack my swing. I have owned this book for many years, and in a recent move my old copy got lost, hence, the need to buy a new one. If you are a really serious golfer, this book should be a permanant part of your golf instruction library; if you're a beginner, it is a must for developing a sound golf swing. Tiger may be the best to ever play the game, but Hogan had the swing that amateurs should try to emulate.

Summary: The Bible On Golf Basics
Comment: If you are new to golf or have golfed for years - this is the bible. It may not be the modern golf swing used by Tiger - but if you want to create a grooved repeatable swing this is the book for you.

Summary: Hogan's Fundamentals
Comment: I have recently returned to golf after a several year absence. I decided to read several golf books as I re-entered the sport, and have found that Ben Hogan's books have been both informative and enlightening. By applying the suggestions he has outlined, my chipping game was immediately improved. Close work on my grip has allowed my drives to be straight and with improved length. While my intermediate game is still quite poor, I'm sure the tips outlined in Fundementals will be helpful as well. Hogan's "Power Golf" is also an excellent guide, though it needs a few more reads to be fully digested. Those wishing to improve their golf would be highly encouraged to read Hogan's books, especially if they would like to try golf before committing to lessons.

Summary: Classic book for learning golf fundamentals
Comment: Great book for learning or re-learning the fundamentals of the full golf swing. Helpful for the novice and the experienced golfer. This 20-year old classic has become the foundation for modern-day golf instruction. I've bought a few copies as gifts for my golfing buddies.
