This book is a comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of golf, written by Ben Hogan and Herbert Warren Wind. It includes five essential lessons that cover the grip, stance, backswing, downswing, and follow-through. The book is fully illustrated with drawings and diagrams by Anthony Ravielli, providing clear representations of the proper form and technique. Hogan emphasizes the importance of dedication, consistent practice, and mental aspects such as concentration and confidence. The book is designed to help golfers of any skill level improve their game, with the belief that any golfer with average coordination can learn to break eighty with patient and intelligent practice.
The novel is set in a near-future New England in the Republic of Gilead, a patriarchal, totalitarian state that has overthrown the United States government. Offred, the narrator, is one of the 'Handmaids', women who are forcibly assigned to produce children for the ruling class, known as 'Commanders'. The story explores themes of powerless women, loss of female agency and individuality, and the suppression of women's reproductive rights. Offred's life is marked by her restrictive routine, her memories of her past life, and her interactions with the Commander, his wife Serena Joy, and other Handmaids, including her friend Ofglen who is part of an underground resistance movement. The novel is a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense[3][4][5].
