About the book
To quote the back cover.... "Ben Hogan, the greatest golfer of our generation, believes that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently. In this book he tells you, step-by-step, just how to go about it. In 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." ....On a personal note.... I find this 127pp book the easiest and most interesting of any of the other books I've read on the golf swing. No matter your handicap, this book is for you. It will take you only a few hours to read, and along with the superb illustrations by Anthony Ravielli, makes this the only golf book you should have on your shelf.
