I went ahead and bought the book. Been reading through it before I pass it along, and I've really enjoyed reading it so far.
A little excerpt from the first page and something we can all relate to.
"The golfer truly believes in long engagements. He courts a mistress as fickle as she is bewitching. She leads him on with little favors that fill him with hopes and conquest. Then she scorns him and humiliates him (in front of his friends, too) and leaves him despairing. Sometimes he hides his despair in rages: he hurls clubs into water hazards and presents a dozen new balls to his caddy. He is through, finished, kaput."

I taught myself the swing using Hogan’s book, and some on course advice from a friend.

Since that time, I read Leadbetter, Penick, and Rotella, but I still go back to Hogan when people ask me for advice.
