Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library.
Product Description
You can shoot in the 70's!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. The greatest golfer of our generation has distilled his experience as teacher, player, and observer of golf into a series of richly illustrated "visual instructions" that not only can improve your game and lower your score, but also can help you get even more fun out of what many people already think is the most enjoyable game in the world. 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. The Modern Fundamentals of Golf is no instant and easy shortcut. There is none. But with Ben Hogan as your pro, you can master these basic movements very quickly. And then you can go on to develop a correct, powerful swing that will repeat. As Ben Hogan says, it's only then that you'll "discover golf for the first time."

 The Bible On Golf Basics July 4, 2008
If you are new to golf or have golfed for years - this is the bible. It may not be the modern golf swing used by Tiger - but if you want to create a grooved repeatable swing this is the book for you.
five amazing lessions July 1, 2008
this is an amazing book. there are 5 sections with great pictures to show what you need to do to have a superb swing. the reading also has a mental approach which helps to have a mind set. after reading the first chapter on grip, i began hitting the ball straight. i can't wait to finish reading the rest of the book to see how much better i will golf. i highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to golf better.
Hogan's Fundamentals June 18, 2008
I have recently returned to golf after a several year absence. I decided to read several golf books as I re-entered the sport, and have found that Ben Hogan's books have been both informative and enlightening. By applying the suggestions he has outlined, my chipping game was immediately improved. Close work on my grip has allowed my drives to be straight and with improved length. While my intermediate game is still quite poor, I'm sure the tips outlined in Fundementals will be helpful as well. Hogan's "Power Golf" is also an excellent guide, though it needs a few more reads to be fully digested. Those wishing to improve their golf would be highly encouraged to read Hogan's books, especially if they would like to try golf before committing to lessons.
 Classic book for learning golf fundamentals June 9, 2008
Great book for learning or re-learning the fundamentals of the full golf swing. Helpful for the novice and the experienced golfer. This 20-year old classic has become the foundation for modern-day golf instruction. I've bought a few copies as gifts for my golfing buddies.

A really good book for beginners, or someone that wants to review the basics of the grip and swing. I highly recommend reading this, every page, every line.
