Ben Hogan's Secret Fundamental: What He Never Told the World

by Larry Miller

Overview

Ben Hogan is legendary, intriguing, and mysterious. It’s a combination that has contributed to Hogan being the most interesting golfer of all time. Aside from his amazing competitive record, his secretive and solitary personality provoke wonder and devotion among thousands of golfers worldwide who attempt to unlock Hogan’s secret code of how to swing a golf club and strike a golf ball. Hogan himself has fueled this intrigue, mainly because he openly declared that he had a “secret,” one that he never publicly revealed. Many top professionals have speculated on what they thought Hogan’s secret might be, but until now those speculations were not supported by any revelations from Hogan himself. Now, author Larry Miller, who was mentored by Tommy Bolt, who in turn was one of Hogan’s protégés, shares Hogan’s secret as he learned it. This secret fundamental, which Miller breaks down into two aspects and explains with the aid of full-color photography and illustrations, will help the average golfer implement Hogan’s teachings to benefit his or her game.
