Summary: Hogan tells you HOW!
Review: I have worn out four copies of this book and given many as gifts. If you want to play golf well, you must swing the clubs well. Hogan tells, AND shows you how, starting with the proper grip. Bring this book with you to the practice tee and make reference to it when you are having problems with your swing.

Summary: Overrated
Review: Hogan is one of historys best golfplayers and his book is considered to be the best too. Unfortunately it is not. I dont know a player who has benefitted from reading it. It is very confusing.

Summary: A Must-Read!
Review: I'm a beginner and I've taken several lessons. I'd say I've learned more in this book than taking 10 lessons from the teaching pro. It's really a must for anyone who's interested in improving his/her game.

Review: Ben Hogans "5 Lessons - The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" is the best resource I've ever seen for teaching the true fundamentals of the golf swing.
The illustrations are superb and perfectly convey the concepts and ideas Ben writes about making this book a must read for any golfer, regardless of proficiency.
Read this book before you learn to golf and you'll be a rookie sensation!

Summary: Excellent resource to learn golf fundamentals
Review: Ben Hogan goes over, step by step, the fundamentals of a solid golf swing. Hogan is regarded as one of the all time greats of golf (one of only four golfers to win all the major championships (Gary Player, Gene Sarazen and Jack Nicklaus are the others)). His attention to detail in this book is absolutley incredible. He covers the proper grip, stance, swing plane and everything else for perfect mechanics. There are few people today who would question the value of this book since Hogan's swing ranks as one of the all time greatest swings in the history of golf. This book may be slightly advanced for the beginner.

Summary: Worth Reading
Review: I purchased "The Fundamentals of Hogan" by Leadbetter at the same time. I'm glad I did. While Hogan has written an excellent book which I'm sure will be a classic read long after I'm dead, Leadbetter was able to put it in perspective. Hogan explains the swing as it worked for him. While many of the fundamental aspects of the swing are applicable to everybody, trying to implement some of his techniques can really mess you up if you don't understand how the golf swing can be different for different people. Leadbetter gave me this insight. I would recommend buying both or if you only have money for one or the other then buy Leadbetter's book.

Summary: Great book - If you've got a Hook
Review: This classic is an exceptional, readable, and all-encompassing study of the golf swing. I learned much about my swing studying this book. The only problem I encountered was none of the information was very relavant to me or the vast majority of golfers who suffer from a slice.Ben Hogan had a strong hook and much of this book includes his corrections to overcome this deficit and straighten out his swing. However, for the slicer, these corrections do the opposite - my slice was worse than ever after following Hogan's advice and I couldn't correct it. An excellent book, for starters or as a follow-on to Hogan's "Five Lessons", is Leadbetter's "The Fundamentals of Hogan". Leadbetter reviews the Hogan swing, then tells why it doesn't work for most (Hogan was double-jointed, Hogan was correcting his hook, etc.) and what you should really do. After Leadbetter, I did straighten out my swing. Both books break the swing down into 5 parts: Grip, Stance, Backswing, Downswing, Summary. While Hogan's book was groundbreaking and certainly deserves a read, if you want to learn a basic swing, Leadbetter's is far more encompassing and just as readable.
