My brother has been getting interested in golf, but not enough to drop some dough on lessons. I'm already getting him a series of lessons for Christmas, and this book as well. Great reviews online, any of yall have feedback on it? Link to Book

Great book with a lot of information, BUT Hogan fought a massive hook his whole life. A bunch of his information does not apply to the average golfer who fights a slice.

I would suggest Jack's Golf My Way.

Some of the pictures are confusing, but the content is good stuff.

I’d recommend every golfer read Chapter1, though.

As others have stated, there is some good info in there, but take it with a grain of salt.

Today, we have high speed cameras, launch monitors, pressure plates, etc that show you exactly what you’re doing compared to tour players. It has been proven that a lot of pro golfers are not doing what they “feel” they are doing.

Read it and followed the lessons. Found out a few years later that Hogan fought a hook early in his career and developed this method to eliminate his hook. The book did not serve me well but may be of use if you could have pro monitor your progress. Book is fun to read for a beginner.

Buy him a copy of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book.

My dad gave me a copy as a kid, and while he won't learn anything that will revolutionary transform his game, it's still a great read.
