They are Ben Hogan’s techniques—as described to me, piece by piece, by fascinated professional golfers who studied Hogan, or who had at least observed him with an analytical eye. As Kafka said, ‘The writer has nothing to say. He just presents evidence.’ On the Hogan topic, I had the privilege of interviewing Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Alvie Thompson, George Knudson, and Mike Souchak. I caddied for Moe Norman, Ted Kroll, Jay Hebert, Bing Crosby, and Babe Didrickson Zaharias. Then I was lucky enough to play with Stan Leonard, Moe Norman, Davis Love III, Dick Zokol, Jim Thorpe, Paul Azinger, Corey Pavin, Tom Kite, Ernie Brown, Brad Faxon, Jim Furyk, Joey Sindelar, and Bob Hope—all of whom had observations and stories about Ben Hogan. These experiences were fortuitous and pleasurable. From these informed sources I gathered snippets of detailed information. Their insights were always in their own language, which was mostly slang terminology with perhaps a demonstration thrown if they had the time: ‘wringing the towel,’ ‘changing the chuck on the lever,’ ‘buckling the wrist,’ ‘rolling the wrist,’ ‘arch and twist,’ ‘keep a flat wrist’ ‘square to square.’ It was my job to sift through the verbiage, and to put it into understandable, and universal, anatomical terms for reliable transmission. In the hopes of persuading you to give Hogan’s short game system an honest try, I will get into the good stuff as quickly as possibleLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 137mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 408gAuthor: Ted HuntGenre: Sports & HobbiesRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
