Which books have helped you out?
 

Being on the lower socio-economic scale of those who play golf, I do not get any live instruction. But, buying a paperback for 10-20 bucks is definitely in the price range.

So I recently bought Ben Hogan's 5 fundamentals, and I am now working on the grip chapter. It is very different than my own grip, so hopefully I can have some more consistent shots in the future.

But I digress. From Amazon it appears that another highly reviewed book is Ernest Jones Swing the Clubhead. So are there any other suggestions out there from the 2p2 masses? If so, lets hear them.

I highly recommend this book, before reading any instructional ones.

I have a well worn copy, I first read it as a fifteen yr old, I still read chapters in it whenever I go to a tour school or a tournament. It has also helped me become a better instructor for my students.

Short Game Bible by Pelz is the BEST book by far.

Agree...and the putting bible is amazing for learning how to read greens.

I read this one the other day - got a copy from the library. Tried a few things today and was very pleased with the results. I think I'm going to buy a copy.

I have Pelz's Short Game Bible and while it makes a lot of sense I've never spent enough time practicing to really "get it".
