Collecting Golf Books

Collecting golf books is a great way to improve your golf game.

The chances are that if you play golf you will want to read about golf and golfers, past and present. How they played their shots, their mental approach to the golf game, etc. Golf need not be a game you play then go home and forget about until your next round of golf. 

By dipping into the vast amount of literature that has been published on golf you can read about how you should have played that approach shot to the sixth green.

The thing I find most helpful in assisting me to improve my golf game is being able to model my swing on one of the golf super stars. A golf role model if you will.  If you can take some pictures of your golf setup and your actual golf swing you get to see yourself as others see you play your golf shots. This can be used to your advantage because you can then shape your golf swing how you want it to look. For example, if you notice your back swing is too flat, you simply work on making it more upright. Get the idea?

Having chosen your role model, try and copy his or her golf swing. You just go through the golf bag and study how he or she plays each shot, from tee to green. If your role model is Ben Hogan, you can start your golf book collection by buying all the golf books he has written. I suggest you buy rather than borrow golf books, because golf is a game you will probably play for life once you start playing the game, and I certainly like to have golf books around so I can dip into them anytime I want to.

The Ben Hogan books are mainly instructional, and there are lots of photographs and diagrams in them to illustrate his golf swing. This is just one example of where to start collecting golf books. There are other ways to start a golf book collection.

Tiger Woods is the 2008 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard champion. By converting a 24 foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to beat Bart Bryant by one shot, Woods tied Ben Hogan with the third most PGA TOUR career victories with 64.

Ben Hogan super slo-mo


Ben Hogan in first gear. This really shows what Mr Hogans’ intention was at various points in his swing. He was clearly not in these exact positions, but without the mass of the fast swinging clubhead you can see what he felt he did.

Ben Hogan body angle variations between Address and halfway into downswing. “Tush line” gets squished? Less angle variation in later life?
