The instructions still work, though the game (courses, clubs, and balls) has changed completely. It´s fun to remember a time when 250 yards was a BIG hit, sand wedges were exotic, and only the Masters and USGA tournaments limited players to 14 clubs.

Quick read. Invaluable lessons for any skill level in the game of golf. Hopefully I won’t duff it around quite as much now.

I read this book many times in an attempt to tune up my game. On that basis, I guess one could say it is a lousy book.

Ben Hogan, the greatest of all time in my view, has written a far more informative and insightful book in his Five Lessons. Power Golf is for beginners, if you are an experienced golfer you won't find it particularly useful. The tricks and little improvements that are in other books are not there. My view is that if you're looking to tune your golf you should read Bob Rotella's books.

Learning from arguably the greatest ball striker of all time is an opportunity any novice golfer should not pass up. He developed his own swing through massive repetition and is very affirmative in the proper technique of a good golf swing. Some of the fundamentals should translate to my game but not everything…

I might get back into golf with my son. It’s been over a decade since I played.

I can’t believe how good this book was, especially for someone like me returning to the game. Very actionable and simple, if you know the basics of golf.

For a duffer like myself these words from one of the greats with added illustrations offer a spark of hope that I might yet improve my game.

if you are just starting to golf, this is a great book. It teaches all the basics. Read this then go get a few lessons and you'll be good to go. Not for advanced players

Another excellent book by Ben Hogan describing and displaying drawings of golf instruction.

[Leitha Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good book, even though it is over 60 years old, many of the tips and tricks apply to today's game of golf!!

One of my favorite golf books. This book, along with Hogan's five lessons are the only books you need.

Reading this book added about 2 strokes per hole to my score.
