Critical Reviews

"Sixty-five years later, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons still stands out among golf publishing works." --Sports Illustrated

"The instructions in Hogan's book of five lessons are direct and endlessly helpful." --Golf.com

"A new, expanded edition of Hogan's perennial bestseller, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, connects his genius for the game with his personal story. Accompanying Hogan's original instructional material, written with Herbert Warren Wind and first published in 1957, is an insightful collection of essays." --John Paul Newport, The Wall Street Journal

"If the Rules of Golf are this sport's Ten Commandments, then this book is the closest thing it has to a bible. . . . Five Lessons' staying power is fueled by its ingredients. You had the best ball-striker of his generation combined with the best wordsmith of his. . . . Simon & Schuster published a 40th anniversary edition of the book, leaving the original text untouched but teeing it up with a new foreword from Lee Trevino and adding 97 new pages of 'History, Context, Legacy' . . . For Trevino, Hogan was both inspiration and imagination. And isn't that how golf feels to all of us?" --Sean Zak, GOLF magazine

"Hogan's instruction has never gone out of date and this book is worth the price of admission just for Trevino's personal foreword that reveals some little-known details of Trevino's childhood, Marine tour of duty, his relationship with Hogan and how this instruction book he found by accident changed his life." --Gary Van Sickle, The First Call
