This guy was a legend for a reason .For Amateurs it’s a great help book . It’s a must for learning a good golf .

The absolute definitive guide to being the best golfer u can be. Changed my game completely. Obviously u need to put in the hours at the range, but once u follow every principle mentioned, u realise ' its not the hours that count, but the hours doing it correctly that matters' abd thats what Mr Hogan wants you to do.

I liked the simple and lucid approach to teach the fundamentals of golf swing right from grip to stance to back swing, hip turn and follow through. I would recommend this to any aspiring golfer who would like to perfect his game.

A book you must to have in your collection to read & to practice with so you can build a strong foundation as Ben Hogan himself writes.. ."The golfer who devotes a half hour daily to practicing the points we will be bringing out during these five lessions will, I believe, improve his game & his scoring immediately & decisively."

Though a bit on plus side for a paper back but it’s value lies in contents.

Wanted to buy this since long. Great education for new golfers. Even old ones need to flip through the lucidly laid out practical tips on improving your handicap.

５０年前以上に父親が海外転勤時に買ったこの本がもうボロボロになってしまって補充の為に買いました。昔も今も共通のする部分があるのがすごいですね。ゴルフがうまくなりたい人だけではなく、歴史書としても一度読んでみても面白いかと思います。和訳も出てます。おすすめです！

I’m brand new to playing golf, and was unsure where to start learning. I’m a self teacher, so my search always starts with a book. Did I just ver find one?! This is THE tome of golf wisdom. Ben Hogan is renowned as one of the greatest golfers of all time, and when he originally wrote these 5 essays in 1957, he turned the world into potential golfers. This book won’t teach you everything about golf, but everything about playing golf starts with the lessons contained. From the forward by fellow legend Lee Trevino, to the original artwork detailing each point, and the second half of the book with articles and interviews detailing Ben’s life and legacy, this is the first book every new golfer should read. I’m 1/4 through, and I’ve already found a few flaws in what I would have been practicing. While I’m sure it can’t replace lessons with a real teacher, if you’re like me and can easily apply what you read, this book will get your game off the ground.

So interesting. Back to basics

Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons is an absolute must-read for any golfer serious about improving their game. Hogan breaks down the fundamentals of the golf swing in a way that is timeless, practical, and easy to understand. The illustrations are simple yet powerful, making it clear how to apply his teachings directly to your own swing. What’s remarkable is how far ahead of his time Hogan was—his insights remain just as valuable today as when he first shared them. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, this book provides lessons that can truly elevate your golf game.

Inutile girarci intorno. Chiunque ami questo sport e lo pratichi regolarmente, leggendo questo piccolo libro non potrà non trovarsi a provare quanto Ben Hogan, a ormai quasi un secolo di distanza, ha così efficacemente descritto. Il grip, che è la croce e delizia di ogni dilettante, spiegato in maniera chiara, così come la postura e lo stance. Nel mio caso, lavorare sul grip e modificarlo seguendo le istruzioni ha significato un incremento della distanza dei ferri assolutamente notevole. Chi ama questo sport, non può non leggerlo. Anche solo per apprezzare lo sforzo di studio fatto da quest'uomo così tanti decenni fa.
