The second of Hogans instructional books, his first was Power Golf. Still relevant today!

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.

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!

quick read, good book
LibraryThing member DavidFerrers
If you only ever read one book about how to play golf make sure it is this book. It has provided me with endless lessons and constant sources of the small improvements so essential to being able to play this highly technical game better. Ben Hogan was a master golfer, he was also a master teacher.
