If you took a survey of professional golfers, Hogan's slim volume would likely be chosen as the most influential golf instructional book ever written.

Who wouldn't want to know the secrets of Hogan? It's not necessarily easy reading for your average golfer, but it continues to wield great influence among teachers - and serious students - of the game.

Hogan boils down the game to one important aspect, striking the ball. Grip, stance, setup, back swing, downswing are all meticulously verbally described, and then highlighted by amazingly detailed and accurate drawings. Written as a series of SI articles in the 50's, the teaching voice has lost none of its punch over the ensuing years.
