Yeah I'm hoping I can learn a lot from Hogan's book.Just finished 5 Lessons, think it's helping me a lot. Let us know how the others go.
Mileage may vary for readers. For me, with no lessons and being fairly new, getting my grip and stance right/consistent, visualizing the backswing plane, starting the downswing with my hips, and supinating the wrist have been game changers. Effortless power and a more inside-out swing. All things I've probably watched in a YouTube video but they made a lot more sense here.Sounds like it’s winter time with all that reading! Let us know what you think of 5 Lessons. I’ve heard it come up in conversation a few times recently now and my curiosity is piqued.
I'm liking it so far. I have always been impressed with Hogan's effortless, perfect swing. Looking forward to taking it all in as my first golf book.Mileage may vary for readers.

It's a short read at 109 pages with lots of good illustrations so not much to lose. Might learn something new or you might just be impressed with Ben Hogan.
I think that's nail on the head for me. Any time I've seen his swing, I think effortless and smooth. Might be some takeaways from the book then too! Thanks!I'm liking it so far.

I read Penick’s “And if you play golf, you’re my friend” and thought it was fun and interesting. It’s just short stories and thoughts from his career in golf and has very little instruction. It was a good read.Penick is spectacular in the little red book.
He's also got a blue and a green book which are very much worth the read.
I'm a sucker for a good story, and that man? Full of them.I read Penick’s “And if you play golf, you’re my friend” and thought it was fun and interesting. It’s just short stories and thoughts from his career in golf and has very little instruction. It was a good read.
I've got some free credits for audio books so I just dropped one on this. Can some of the mental things be applied to life outside of golf?I thought this one was a good one for the mental side.
Probably so. It’s pretty golf specific though. It wasn’t a mind blowing game changer for me, but I have adopted some of the lessons and they have been a help on the course. I also think that book has plenty of re-read value. I read it over the summer but I’m thinking of going back to it while I’m not playing as much in the winter.I've got some free credits for audio books so I just dropped one on this.

Palmer's book was good and so was Haney's.Going on a reading binge. Currently reading Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons. Just ordered 4 more books.
