I was given Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons The Modern Fundamentals of Golf to read. The book was written in 1957 and from what I’ve heard is still the first book a golf professional will recommend to a new golfer. I will report back after reading but I feel confident in saying it should be a good read or it wouldn’t be getting recommended in 2009.

About The Book

In Jeff’s autobiography, MountainVision: Lessons Beyond the Summit, he recounts the stories from his adventurous life. In each of the chapters, readers will find vivid descriptions of locations from across the world, heart-stopping action, and entertaining and life-changing situations. Along the way, readers will pick up the secrets to effective leadership and teamwork, learned from decades of expeditions to many of the world’s most challenging places.

Raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Jeff Evans wasn’t born into an adventurous lifestyle. As a young man with no direction, he turned his love of the outdoors into a life filled with mountaineering expeditions and adventure races around the globe.

My Impressions

I will be the first to admit that reading books is not my thing.  Of course I do plenty of reading but a book really has to capture me quickly or I lose interest and don’t pick it back up.  This book had me from beginning to end.  The chapters are very short and tell a great story.  At the end of each chapter he sums up what he learned from the experience and how we could use that in our own lives.

I would recommend this book to anyone.  It’s about mountain climbing but the real lessons are about life, leadership, courage, strength, determination and most importantly teamwork.
