You've got to be a good or great golfer (or a very technical personality) for this book to help your game. Otherwise it will give you paralysis by analysis! ( )

This is, by far, the finest instruction book on golf. The chapter on the grip alone was enough to change my game for the better by practicing it over and over one winter. The reason I did it over the winter was because when I tried to use it for the first time hitting a golf ball (after having such a lousy grip for so long), I felt like I was going to break something when I swung the club.

The great thing about this book is that it really lets you you where Hogan wants to emphasize something very important. Most instruction books don't do this nearly as well. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671612972, Paperback)

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.
