Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf

Golfer Ben Hogan distilled his approach to the swing into five lessons, first serialized in Sports Illustrated in 1957 and written with Herbert Warren Wind, with precise drawings by Anthony Ravielli. Hogan covers the grip, stance and posture, the first and second parts of the swing, and a review, arguing that a sound, repeatable swing rests on a few fundamentals any golfer can learn. His image of the swing plane as a pane of glass resting on the shoulders is among the book's most cited ideas.
