I started golf at the age of 16. Having played the two most popular sports in South Africa, rugby and cricket. I also represented my province in gymnastics, played tennis, and competed in swimming and diving. I thought golf would be another sport I would easily excel in. Boy, was I wrong!
"Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf."
When I first started playing golf, I read Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf." That book inspired me to practice hard and instilled a work ethic that I still have today. I turned professional two years later, and I have to say, I have enjoyed every minute of it.
So when I saw this slideshow by Golf Digest and Alex Myers, I just had to share, with the hope that this will inspire someone else to take up the game and feel the enjoyment I have felt for the last 50 years!
Ben Hogan's nine major championships speak for themselves, but he also had an authoritative voice when it came to golf instruction. Hogan wrote two books on the golf swing -- "Power Golf" in 1948 and "Five Lessons" in 1957 -- that are still sought after by golfers of all levels. Known for his meticulous practice habits, Hogan constantly worked on trying to perfect his swing and these books were his outlet to share the knowledge he'd gained with the general public. Along the way, Hogan's lessons were sporadically published in Golf Digest as well. Here, we look back at some of these gems that are just as applicable today as when he doled them out.
