About this ebook
Over the past sixty-five years, millions of golfers have studied Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons, making it the bestselling golf book of all time. Now, Hogan’s masterpiece has received the definitive edition it deserves, complete with never-before-seen archival gems and brand-new material for today’s golfers.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, Hogan is especially known for his mastery of the golf swing. At the start of his career, he played with a hook that threatened to ruin his game, until he dedicated himself to correcting it – and in doing so, he gained a rare and hard-fought understanding of the fundamentals. He went on to become one of only five players to win all four professional championships, claiming nine major championships in total.
In 1957, Hogan partnered with Herbert Warren Wind, 'the dean of American golf writers' (New York Times), and illustrator Anthony Ravielli to capture his expertise from the peak of his career in a series of lessons. He believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break eighty. With the groundbreaking techniques Hogan reveals in this essential book, you can learn how to make your game work from tee to green, step by step and stroke by stroke. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations, as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend.
Now expanded with a major new introduction, expert commentary on the book’s legacy, unpublished photos of the publicity-shy Hogan and more, this definitive edition offers greater context and fresh insight into an icon of the game.
