Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This is not the "Power Golf" you should buy
I first bought this paperback edition of "Power Golf" after I had read "Five Fundementals of Golf". Somewhere I read a review which said the hardcover version of "Power Golf" was much better. He (she) was right. The illustrations in the paperback version are very misleading and not very helpful as mentioned by other reviewers. The hardcover edition has black and white pictures of Ben Hogan actually swinging and are much more revealing about his swing and clearly illustrate what he did over what ... Read More
Rating:  - Sport or Game?
I grew up with a Dad who loved the sport. And he loved the game. This book has been a great look at the little things that can be worked on to make the game fun, and not just a long walk spoiled by a small white ball.
Rating: - Dated info plus things that never change
This book is best geared to beginning golfers who want a broad view of what different clubs are for and to get a general idea of how the game is to be played. Illustraitons accompany everything described, and is a good match for Hogan's Five Lessons.

Rating: - Hogan's Wisdom
Always interested in getting better in the field of my golf game, I read this book with the hopes of gleaning some useful information on the swing, and how to hit the ball farther. Hogan offers a breakdown of the swing, and it is easy to follow. Not only is the book illustrated, Hogan did a nice job articulating how to get better and hit it longer. One thing I found that was very helpful was in the last two pages, Hogan talks about course management, and tricks to saving shots when you are playing ... Read More
Rating:  - But only one star if you're expecting instructional help
This was written in 1948 and is utterly useless as a "how to" guide for a beginning or intermediate golfer in 2001. I'm sure that even Hogan, if he were alive, would tell you not to buy it as an instructional guide. It is, however, FANTASTIC for the scores of photographs of Hogan at all stages of his swing. You'll clearly see why this man hit the ball in a way that we amateurs never will and 99% of professionals never will. As someone else pointed out, this is Hogan's swing before his near ... Read More
