Ben Hogan's Golf Tips: Simple Advice for Weekend Players

Ben Hogan's effortless golf ball strike was a testament to his prowess, and the results spoke for themselves. However, Hogan's "swing system" is a complex one, with endless variables and interconnections. In this book, Ted Hunt presents a selection of simple yet valuable tips, based on the legendary golfer's secret to a competitive golf swing. The book is aimed at the recreational golfer, not the tournament player with unlimited practice time. It distills Hogan's observations on the vital components of a golf swing, addressing them one by one, and presenting them as simply as possible. Each tip is accompanied by a series of photographs, clearly demonstrating the proper grip, stance, backswing, and follow-through.

The author addresses several important golfing concepts, including: What powers the takeaway? When and how do the wrists hinge? What is your first move down from the top of the backswing? What is the action of the back knee? When does the lead knee straighten? How do you connect the arms to the torso? How do you maximize power through proper timing in the contact zone? What are the two benefits of "hovering" the putter and the driver? And how can fifteen minutes a day at home significantly improve 55 percent of your game?

In "Ben Hogan's Tips for Weekend Golfers," Ted Hunt makes Hogan's intricate swing system accessible and presents it in a way that "the Hawk" himself might have, had he been instructing a club member out on the course.
