Such a Little Secret Review
For years I've been developing a solid swing based on solid fundamentals. It has always looked good and has been envied by young and old alike, mostly for the power it can generate. I've worked hard at making it look effortless and professional. When it came down to it, though, I found that my swing couldn't keep the ball in play consistently. I kept throwing away drives, and I have come to expect at least one train wreck hole per 9. I've been stuck at a mid-teen handicap for a while now. I knew I was missing 1 key ingredient that prevented me from hitting all the fairways and greens I want to hit. I found my final key in this book. It's an unnecessarily verbose book, but all one needs to know about hitting a golf ball only fills up 1 page. If you have a single digit handicap, then don't bother reading this book, as you won't find anything useful here. If you feel that one little something is missing from your swing, you may find it here. If you play worse than bogey golf, then this book is invaluable and should be required reading.
It is worthwhile to note that what the author describes is nothing new. He simply stresses that which goes unstressed or unsaid in many other reference materials. He gives full credit where credit is due and very carefully and diligently cites his references.
Such a Little Secret Overview
Today millions play golf worldwide, and only one in every forty thousand golfers is good enough to play at the professional level. Millions of golfers hit thousands of shots every year and not one is struck correctly. This is due, according to the legendary Ben Hogan, "not so much to lack of ability as lack of knowing exactly what it is that he must do."
Understanding the essential elements of the swing is where the average golfer parts company with the better player. How so many can play for so long devoid of all knowledge of the correct path of the clubhead to the ball really is a mystery. Such a Little Secret supplies the knowledge that will open the gate to millions.

This book has all the instruction you will ever need to play exceptional golf.While it is a bit wordy and written in an old English style, I feel that is part of it's charm.If you're patient, you will uncover the timeless truths of great golf.A steady head, correct start back, a good turn and proper first move in the downswing are all there is to learn.I've studied golf extensively, all modern teaching is junk.Stick to these old principles.
Great Book - Jeffrey A. Coppock - Knoxville, TN
If you are not a technical golfer, then I highly recommend this book to you. Very simple and unlike some other reviews; I found it a great read. I've read it twice now, and will probably read it again when I'm on vacation this summer.
Less is more - Charles R. Rhodes -
Most of us have way too much stuff running around in our head from reading lots of books, articles, the golf channel, et. al. What we need are the absolute basic underlying fundamentals, the fewer the better. This gives us that but many won't appreciate it because to the well read there appears to be nothing new--but their is. He adds the emphasis and doesn't dilute the lesson with hundreds of other instructions. That's what good coachs do, repeat the fundamentals over and over. Since you have heard it, you think you know it but you don't have a clue. Practice these fundamentals for a month and forget about all the other stuff you think you know. For me this is close to impossible, but I will try. I just wish he could have boiled it down to one fundamental!
In my opinion he is too modest by saying the book is not for single digit handicappers. How many of them (and pros)have you seen violating these very fundamentals?
One other thought, the golf instruction industry is about "new" things and new termonology in order to sell stuff, and whether we acutally know more than what is included in Ben Hogan's works is very suspect to me.
