Ben Hogan, one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break 80 -- if one applies oneself patiently and intelligently. With the techniques revealed in this classic book, you can learn how to make your game work from tee to green, step-by-step and stroke by stroke. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations -- as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend. Whether you're a novice player or an experienced pro, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons is a must-have reference for anyone who knows that fundamentals are where champions begin.

Dust jacket notes: 'The development of the defense is traced from its origin to the present day and the author describes the strength, weakness and the original principles as recommended by the founder of basketball, Dr. James A. Naismith. Particular attention is given to recent developments such as 'pressing,' 'switching,' and other defensive combinations. Attack methods which have been evolved to meet these defensive variations are outlines in detail. The held-ball, center-jump, out-of-bounds, and other auxiliary plays are diagrammed and described. The quick-break and methods of halting the various types are thoroughly discussed. Attacking methods outlined include the post, double post, double pivot, give and go, and screen. It is a complete book on this important phase of basketball essential for a complete understanding of the game."
