Thank you so much for posting this Video. ...It comes from a 1983 CBS Interview conducted by Ken Venturi. ...I was fortunate to see it live and to this day it is the most important source of inspiration that drives my research of the swing. ...When I heard Mr. Hogan express his love and hard work to learn more about the swing, I knew it would take me a while too. Thanks to Five Lessons that work progresses well. ...Have grateful I am. ...DrDom, Founder of Hogan's Cube & Golf Nucleus .com

No one ever developed a swing that applies more hitting energy than Hogan's. He put everything he had into the shot.

If Jack had had the same upbringing (Jack actually had a very comfortable middle class upbringing) would he have been as good as he was? would he even have been as good as Hogan? Maybe it all made Ben tougher, but it had to have slowed his development as a golfer (didn't win a major until in his 30s) while Jack's early tuition gave him a huge head start, and multiple major wins by the time he was 25. What an amazing golfer and person Ben Hogan was.

One of my personal golfing maxims is that whenever you get into a discussion on who is the greatest golfer, you have to let results speak for themselves. Following this, Nicklaus must be regarded as the greatest, or so I always thought.
But then there is Hogan. Father killed himself when Ben was 10, grew up in the depression with nothing and taught himself to play. He was so poor as a young tour pro he once played a 4 round tourney on a 20 cent bag of oranges. And yet, he beat the world.

THE golf bible ....HOGANS FIVE LESSONS.......the secret must be in the hips and getting 80 to 90 percent of your weight to the left side before impact.....he mentions the hips over 40 times in his book,,,,, A MUST READ !!!!!!

good luck. you can make it; if you hit them straight.
Tiger was taught the basics of golf from his dad, who learned the basics of golf by reading hogans book. Hogan inspired tigers dad -- without it, tiger never would have watched his dad play when he was a kid. That book is gospel for us golfers. What tiger has done is phenominal, but hogan paved the way.
