Ben Hogan made hitting a golf ball look easy, and the results spoke for themselves. But Hoganâs âswing systemâ is as complex as a spiderâs web; the variables and connections are never-ending. In Ben Hoganâs Tips for Weekend Golfers, Hunt presents a selection of simple but valuable tips, based on the legendary golferâs secret to a competitive golf swing.
The book is intended for the recreational golfer, not the tournament player who has unlimited time to practice. It distills Hoganâs observations concerning the vital components of a golf swingâone at a timeâand presents them as simply as possible. Each tip is illustrated with a series of photographs, which clearly show the proper grip, stance, backswing, and follow-through. The author addresses these important golfing concepts:
⢠What powers the takeaway?
⢠When and how do the wrists hinge?
⢠What is your first move down from the top of the backswing?
⢠What is the action of the back knee?
⢠When does the lead knee straighten?
⢠How do you connect the arms to the torso?
⢠How do you maximize power through proper timing in the contact zone?
⢠What are the two benefits of âhoveringâ the putter and the driver?
⢠How can fifteen minutes a day at your home significantly improve 55 percent of your game?
In Ben Hoganâs Tips for Weekend Golfers, Ted Hunt makes the intricate Hogan system accessible and presents it in a way that âthe Hawkâ himself might have if he were instructing a club member out on the course.
