'Ben Hogans Five Lessons' by Ben Hogan with Herbert Warren Wind
Ben Hogan has long believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 if he applies himself intelligently -- and here, with Herbert Warren Wind, and artist Anthony Ravielli, he tells you, step by step, just how to go about it. This book covers the Fundamentals, Grip, Stance, Posture, First & Second part of the swing and a short summary & review. To quote Ben, It is utterly impossible for any golfer to play good golf without a swing that will repeat." Mr. Hogan believes there is no reason why a golfer can't play in the 70's. This assurance is built on the belief that the average golfer is capable of building and repeating a swing. Young Texas born Ben Hogan was a caddie with a dream and a determination to make it." His first attempt at the professional golf tour failed. On his second attempt, with only a few dollars to his name, Ben Hogan's relentless practicing began to pay off. And so began an eight-year climb to the pinnacle of golf. In the prime of his career, a crippling automobile accident threatened to end it all. Very few doctors believed that he would ever walk again, but Hogan risked everything to once again be a champion, and in doing so, won the hearts of all America. Preface by Herbert Warren Wind and incredible drawings by Anthony Ravielli.
