Summary: In a different direction
Review: The golf swing is unnatural. I have been taking lessons for the last few months, and I play at least once during the week. I am still a high handicap player. This book has changed my grip and swing more than any lesson. I feel I am hitting the ball farther and straighter. I do know that I will take a couple of weeks of practice before I feel comfortable with these series of movements, but I feel the effort will be rewarded.

Summary: Out with the trash and in with the truth!
Review: This book is a masterpiece. Dante et al begins by dispelling a multitude of golf's most common misconceptions and maligning advice. Each myth is expounded upon nicely so that there are no doubts as to why these time-tested pearls are mostly or dead wrong. This whole first section cleans the slate so that you're primed for the real matter.
The manner in which this book is written and illustrated are first class. I've never read a golf book more descriptive, concise and correct! The reading is easy and the instruction intelligent and bold. There will be no doubt in your mind on how the swing should be conducted. Don't be dissuaded by original date of publishing... as stated above, it is timeless.
If you're looking for a profound book that's not overly technical, easily understood, true and tested, this is it!

Summary: Out with the trash and in with the truth!
Review: This book is one of the 4 best golf instruction books among the fifty something golf books that I have read so far. The beginner will learn golf from the basic fundamentals to a good ball striker if he can read, understand and practice according to the following four good books (preferred in the sequence) :1. Ben Hogan's Five Lessions - The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
2. Tommy Armour - How to play your best golf all the time
3. Harvey Penick - the little Red and Green book (counted as one)
4. Joe Dante - The Four Magic Moves to Winning Golf Other good books from Butch Hamon, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman,
Mike Dunaway, Tiger Woods and Ernes Els of course are also very good but the latters are developing the same fundaments to more advanced level of techniques but unfortunately failed to teach the very fundatmentals in the same level of clarity to the beginners as these 4 books. I recommend these 4 four books listed above to all serious beginners. Hopefully you will save some money on lession fees, be less painful during the course of practice and able to learn the basics of the game.

Summary: Great book, ahead of its time
Review: This book was totally ahead of its time. Even though it was written over 30 years ago it still reads as fresh as any other written today. It goes through all the myths of golf and gives reasoned and sound arguments why they are bad advice. Remarkably the same myths still apply to the ones that Dante described some 30 years ago! The book then goes on to describe the "magic moves". The book has the best description of how the wrists should be used in the swing that I have read. The only slight concern that I have with the book is concerned with the hips at the start of the downswing. I think it is possible that the reader may (as I did at first) overuse the hips. There is a drill in the book "The LAWS of golf" that enables the reader to perform the movements that this book describes. Therefore I would suggest that this book should be bought along with "The LAWS of Golf".
