"The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" Hogan's book revisited by Luther Blacklock

I've got a well thumbed copy of Ben Hogans book, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. No doubt may of you on the Forum will have a copy or will at least have read this seminal work of one of the greatest golfers and golf teachers we have seen.

Now that the nights are drawing in, I like to re-read my favourite golfing text books. I've been thumbing through Hogans book this week, probably not paying full attention as I've read it countless times. Then I remembered I'd picked up a copy of a DVD by Luther Blacklock about this very book and his take on what Hogan was saying. Well, the DVD has shed new light on the book as far as I'm concerned. Blacklock has described the various lessons from the book and then shown what they mean whilst out on the range or on the course. I'm going to have to re-read the book again, making sure I take in what Hogan is saying and then watch Blacklocks DVD to re-iterate the lessons.

If you can get a copy, well worth it. It's called The Lost Fundamentals of Hogan.

Now to find someone who has made a DVD to go along with Pelz Putting Bible

Got to love Hogan.....just amazing how he worked it out himself and to play only a few events including three majors in one season, win all but one, is stuff of legend. Love his swing, the power through the ball is not rivalled by any other golfer on the planet.

Funny you say that - i pulled Pelz's Short Game bible out today and was re-thumbing through it again

I've also got a copy of Leadbetter's Hogan book - cant remember the title, but it really is a good analysis of Hogan

Hogans swing is a thing of beauty, check out the link to Ted Ray's in the right of the page tommo linked to. I can't imagine anybody seeing that as a thing of beauty. How did they achieve the scores they did in that era wearing a suit, a silly hat and a swing with more movement than a Strictly professionals hips?

Not Hogan but a very interesting swing. Did Hogan get anything from Johnny Goodmans backswing.
