Description
Ben Hogan, author of The Modern Fundamentals of Golf , believed that golfers with average coordination could learn to break 80 if they applied themselves intelligently to learning his concepts.
Author Mike Stair has created this companion piece from the position of an average golfer. He has benefited from Mr. Hogan's instruction and has applied more than thirty years of teaching and analysis to the clarification of Hogan's more obscure instructions. If you are eager to improve your game, and wish someone could explain it in terms you can make sense of, this book will help lower your score while raising your appreciation for Ben Hogan and the game he played so well.
Reviews
Don't waste your time buy the real book
1By AkdjdhhfDon't waste your time with this buy the real 5 Lessons by Ben Hogan. Mr Hogan's book apparently is not available on iBooks. I downloaded this thinking it was the real book. Mr Stair I am sure with the best intentions changed many of the messages and details of the real Hogan text. This book will not improve your game at all. Buy the real Ben Hogan Five Lessons book. Mr Hogan is very detailed in what you need to do to create a repeatable swing, and it works. I purchased it last night unfortunately through another device. After reading the chapter on the grip I am writing this review. Mr Hogan is very detailed but very easy to understand unlike how the author of this book depicts the real 5 Lessons book. I can go on and on but truly buy the real 5 lessons if you want to improve your game. Buy this book if you want to waste $4.Blatant Misdirection
1By FoulmouthedleonI actually own Ben Hogan’s “Five Lessons…” book in hard copy but wanted a copy for my iPad/laptop. I thought that this was it, and considering that even the cover art is the same - that this was a good deal. Wrong. This is some guy who has “rewritten” the book “for the rest of us.” I didn’t even get past page 1. Save your money.Not cool Apple!!!
4By Carlo21645This is not Hogans Book! Scammers 🍎Cliff notes version of Hogan's masterpiece
1By CakamusMike Stair's summary of Ben Hogan's Five Fundamentals adds nothing. The author simply summarizes some of the major points of Hogan's book and adds an uninformed interpretation, useless visuals, and no particular insight to help the average golfer. The beauty of Hogan's book is in it's simplicity. Most of the important instructional value is lost in the 'Cliff Note' translation.This is a terrible waste of time and money
1By Brian KrausThere is no help here. Just read Hogan's book. This thing is a waste of $4.00Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons
1By Skip RedfordI have over 25,000 hours studying Ben Hogan’s swing. I have read the majority of the books written about Mr Hogan. I would recommend buying the original : BEN HOGAN FIVE LESSONS THE MODERN FUNDAMENTALS OF GOLF. Do not waste your money on this bookBest book
5By Robert_65This is the greatest book you will find on how to swing the golf club.Robbed..
1By Synthad1Typical review, I believe. Rushed in to purchase this based on the title (why wouldn't I), only to find out it's some random dudes take on the real book. Why would I search Ben Hogans five lessons, and want this guys cliff notes of Ben Hogans book. Robbed...BE AWARE THIS IS NOT BEN HOGANS BOOK!!!!!
1By Jimymac the crackerWhat a scam!!! Come on Apple, this is a deliberate knockoff!!Ben Hogans Five lessons
1By Raindrops ManThe worst! Like rewriting scripture. Total bull crap! Rate, 0.Ben Hogan's Five Lessons
1By TtimenowI should have read the reviews before purchasing this poor book report, what gives this author the right to assume he knows anything about instructing golfers on what Mr. Hogan was trying to relay. I bought this because of the title and didn't see the small print that was intentionally put there to mislead those of us familiar with the original book. Shame on you, you counterfeit junkie. Don't fall for this it is not Ben Hogans instructionDO NOT BUY
1By SJoK1234This man should be sued by Hogan’s family. He summarizes what Hogan said in that actual book in a ppor manner. He goes as fars as stating that the grip, whis was the staple of the swing in Hogan’s eye, is unimportant.Ripoff!
1By Zach1356Deliberately misleading! Who cares about this guys opinion about the real Ben hogan book?? Total ripoff and I want my money back! Shame on apple for allowing this.Misleading!!!
1By Logan’s DaddyI should have paid attention more carefully. This is NOT the Five Lesson by Ben Hogan. What a waste of money. How do I get my money back?Nonsense
1By Mounjaro StanI was excited to see what I thought was the REAL Five Lessons book. This is anything but that. I have no idea why anyone would want this to be honest with you. Wish I could get a refund.santa cruz golf
1By beach golferbought the book through ibooks was only 3.95 but hardly had any information in it. Was like i was shorted it was a brief 50 pages with very few good picture examples. I quess sometimes you get what you pay forMoney back
1By Charliewar77Not the real thing. How can apple sell a book named after another book. This is a straight rip off. Dont buy it.Gives you a foundation to work on
4By S_gotis03This is a good book to build a fundamental swing. It is not the original book and not as in depth. The title gives it away. It is not meant to be a replacement either. What it does, is simplify Hogans concepts and principles. Provide you a solid starting instruction to have a repeatable golf swing. It will take time to understand and apply the concepts. But they are sure worth it. I have already dropped my average on a 9 hole par 3 course to the mid and low 40s. I have only been playing for 5 months (playing and practicing once a week) and started in the high 50s low 60 average. Again, not the original (read the title before you buy). The book does what it's meant to do.Glad I read the reviews,!!!
1By Retired in ChicagoDon't get suckered. I read the reviews and then I downloaded a sample and got 2 WHOLE PAGES which read like the Forward of a legitimate book. From the reviews and the two pages I can't imagine how this obvious ripoff got more than one star. Oh I forgot; friends and family can do what I did; download the pitiful sample and then give it five stars, duh!
