I understand what it is to golf now!

I’ve been playing for 35 years and never knew I was so uneducated when it came to golf! Amazing book. Changed my golf outlook.

Ahead of his time

Great read. Ben was far ahead of his time in the game of golf. His 5 Lessons describes the fundamentals of the golf swing using easy interpretation through analogies. Highly recommended for both seasoned golfers and those new to the game.

Keys To A solid Swing

Highly recommend for every golfer. Taking these basic lessons and applying them to your swing will definitely take a few strokes off your scorecard. I know I have seen much greater accuracy in my irons after reading.

Your Scores Will Be Lowered - Great Material

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons will stay with you you forever. The material is simple to follow and even easier to apply. Have you ever stood over your ball with numerous golf tips running through your mind, never truly knowing the essential steps to a methodical swing? If so, this book is for you.

I've never had lessons, but I do watch YouTube vids and read golf tips frequently. I am a 10 handicap, and have been striving to consistently shoot in the 70's for sometime now. After digesting Hogan's fundamentals, my game has improved drastically. I no longer stand over my ball questioning myself. I now walk up with confidence, envisioning my shot and then executing it.

Better watch out 60's, I'm coming for you!

A well-read seminal work on golf

The narrator was pleasant to listen to and gave me that feeling of a kindly old gentleman helping me with my golf game. I would recommend for someone new to golf to reference a physical copy of the book or an ebook as there are diagrams and pictures that will help support the instructions if you have difficulty following the detailed biomechanical descriptions.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in golf theory.

Solid Fundamentals

Great book and performance by narrator. It is easy to confuse yourself by over complicating your golf swing. This book has helped me reset my swing and focus on the course.
