With a new introduction by Lee Trevino, this is the first definitive edition of the timeless golf classic that has sold over a million copies—now with never-before-seen photos and memorabilia, hand-selected from the Hogan estate archive, as well as nearly 100 pages of new writings that expand on Hogan’s unbelievable life story and extraordinary career.Over the past sixty-five years, millions of golfers have studied Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons, making it the bestselling golf book of all time. Now, Hogan’s masterpiece has received the definitive edition it deserves. Widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, Hogan is especially known for his mastery of the golf swing. At the start of his career, he played with a hook that threatened to ruin his game, until he dedicated himself to correcting it—and in doing so, he gained a rare and hard-fought understanding of the fundamentals. Curious fans itched for clues about his legendary technique, dubbed “the secret,” that allowed him to persevere and even return to the height of his powers after a car crash that shattered his body and almost took his life in 1949. His terse answer, “I dug it out of the dirt”—the dirt of the driving range—fueled the Hogan mystique. He went on to become one of only five players to win all four professional championships, claiming nine major championships in total. In 1957, Hogan partnered with Herbert Warren Wind, “the dean of American golf writers” (The New York Times), and illustrator Anthony Ravielli to capture his expertise from the peak of his career in a series of lessons. Hogan believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break eighty. In each chapter, a different tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations, as though Hogan were giving you a personal lesson with the same skill and precision that made him a legend. Now expanded with a new introduction by Lee Trevino, essays about Hogan and the book’s legacy, unpublished photos of the publicity-shy Hogan, and more, this definitive edition offers greater context and fresh insight into an icon of the game.

Intellettualmente disabile. Autistico. Portatore di handicap. Sindrome di Down...Fin dall'inizio dei tempi coloro ai quali vengono date tali etichette sono stati ostracizzati, maledetti e uccisi. Nell'antica Grecia, Aristotele approvò una legge intitolata: "Prevenire l'educazione dei bambini deformi". Da allora molto è cambiato, ma i resti di tale sentimento continuano ancora oggi...Ma abbiamo sbagliato tutto?È possibile che i nostri giudizi secolari e le attuali comprensioni necessitino di una revisione radicale, una rivalutazione più ampia?La mia esperienza di venticinque anni di vita in comune con un caro amico, una persona con una differenza intellettuale, mi ha portato a chiedermi: È possibile che coloro che hanno sopportato la rabbia e il ridicolo, la denigrazione e il licenziamento siano, infatti, proprio i "Messaggeri" dai Margini di cui ciascuno di noi ha bisogno per condurci a una più profonda accettazione e apprezzamento delle nostre fragilità abbandonate?Potrebbe essere in compagnia di tali persone che impareremo ad accogliere con infinita compassione le nostre stesse ferite, e a nostra volta ad essere guidati verso una più grande guarigione olistica per noi stessi e per il nostro mondo?Nota: si sono verificati alcuni errori (divisione delle parole) nell'edizione cartacea. speriamo che non si interrompa troppo con il flusso e il vostro divertimento. Buona lettura
