I bought Hogans 5 Lessons yesterday. I've never had a lesson or read an instruction book before and I've managed to get down to a handicap of 8. Now I've decided to get some help because I don't think I'll get any lower with out some major changes with my swing. Another reason for the change is that I hurt my back in December and my swing at the moment looks like John Daly's with a massive overswing which isn't helping it. I played recently with a fella from our place who told me to try a 3/4 back swing. When I did my 3/4 swing it was perfectly parallel at the top and the strike was much more solid, this got me thinking to overhaulling my full swing and becoming a lot more compact. I've read alot of post's on here with people prasing Hogans book so I've decided that's where I would start. I don't really want lessons from a pro because I'd rather learn on my own and develop my swing by myself (with the book). I read the 1st chapter on the grip last night and I'm off to the range when I finish this post to practice and try to make it feel a little more natural. I have used an interlocking grip since I was about 12 years old, so it feels very strange with the overlapping finger as shown by Hogan. Anyhow I'm off to hit a bucket now so will let you know how I get on later.......
