Harvey Penick's Little Red Book of Golf.

I still read it from time to time. Take Dead Aim

Fiction-Dead Solid Perfect by Dan Jenkins, non-fiction biography A Course Called Ireland by Tom Coyne and golf instruction Golf my Way by Jack Nicklaus.

Golf My Way! I page through it at the beginning of every year.

I have read and re-read all the Bob Rotella books. All good reads.

Ben Hogan's Five Lessons! This was my golf instruction as youth... several years ago!

Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons. I used to read it every winter waiting for the snow to melt. Loaned it to my daughter and she kept it! Guess I need to accept that I am going to need to buy another one

Zen Putting...didn't do a thing :)

Ben Hogan; The 5 Fundamentals" of Golf.

One of the best books about golf is "Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf." This book was written by legendary golfer Ben Hogan, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the game. In this book, Hogan shares his insights and techniques for improving your golf game, covering everything from grip and stance to swing and follow-through.

One of my favorite books How to Perfect Your Golf Swing by Jimmy Ballard. Great instruction.

Mr. Hogan's book, Five Lessons...... is the best I've found as it focuses on true fundamentals. Most books are filled with, at best, band-aid remedies, in my opinion. "Golf My Way" (Nicklaus), "Swing Easy, Hit Hard" (Julius Boros) and "Natural Golf" (George Knudson) are also great books that keep it simple and fundamental.

The Four Foundations of Golf by Jon Sherman. Such a good book! The main premise is on increasing enjoyment, and - as a result - improving your game.

I need to read and apply the "swing easy, hit hard". My PT has been working with me as well as my PGA teaching instructor on this very subject. We try to complicate a yet simple game. Same as life. Still have my "How to Become a Complete Golfer", by Bob Toski and Jim Flick, probably only golf book I read. Bought it when I started playing golf.

The Harvey Penick's Little Red Book is a great read. Also a quick read!

I'm currently reading "Golf is not a game of Perfect" by Dr. Bob Rotella. IT has some great tips on how to improve your mental game, not just your physical. I think the information is very practical and applicable to golfers of all skill levels.

I just started Zen Golf a couple days ago and have been enjoying it.

Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect was a terrific read too!

I have to go with Jon Sherman's 'The Four Foundations of Golf: How to Build a Game that Lasts a Lifetime'.
It is an easy read with useful data and really focuses on enjoyment of the game while still working to improve.

Great thread! Here's my list:

1. Ben Hogan's Five Lessons
2. Paper Tiger by Tom Coyne
3. The Golfer's Carol by Robert Bailey
4. American Triumvirate by James Dodson
5. Ben Hogan: An American Life by James Dodson

I'm a Hogan fan as you can tell. The first two are must reads.

Oh, I do not read that many golf books, but I think Ben Hogan's Five Lessons, for now, is my favorite one. I really enjoyed reading it. Actually, I wish I had more time for reading, but I barely have time for practicing now because of my studies and work. But actually, I need to write one paper and include there a book review. So I chose Fiction-Dead Solid Perfect by Dan Jenkins for it, and I hope I'll manage to do it. With more theoretical parts, I got the help of https://edusson.com/ because I needed a custom essay-writing service because I have a lot of deadlines and limited time. But that part of writing a book review is very interesting for me, and I'll do my best to write it perfectly. Besides, the book is about golf, so that's even better.

Couple of favorites: Golf's Greatest Championship: The 1960 U.S. Open by Julian Graubart; Afternoons with Mr. Hogan by Jody Vasquez. Fiction: Follow the Wind by Bo Links.

Worst: Golf Dreams by John Updike

I spent a winter years ago reading anything I could find about Ben Hogan's career including the two biographies by Curt Sampson and James Dodson. There were also The Match, about a game involving Hogan, Byron Nelson, Harvie Ward, and Ken Venturi; Miracle at Merion (1950 US Open); The Upset (1955 US Open at Olympic Club), Bringing the Monster to Its Knees (1951 US Open at Oakland Hills).

And for those of you still paying attention, Ben Hogan won three consecutive U.S. Opens that he played - 1948, 1950, and 1951. Obviously, he wasn't in any condition to play in 1949 after the Greyhound bus hit is car head-on. Considering he nearly died (twice) after that collision, winning in 1950 and 1951 were quite miraculous.
