Ben Hogan's Short Game Simplified: The Secret for 120 Yards and In
Ben Hogan's short game mastery is the focus of this book, as golf instructor Ted Hunt offers golfers the chance to improve their game by delving into the legendary swing elements that defined Hogan's picture-perfect technique, particularly for shots attempted within 100 yards of the flagstick.
The journey begins with an overview of Hogan's "magical device" for the uninitiated, before transitioning into a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of his swing from takeaway to follow-through, with each phase receiving its own dedicated chapter, complete with illustrations, photos, and drills. Subsequent chapters address specific short game techniques, including chip shots, flop shots, bunker play, putting, and methods for controlling ball spin, draw, and fade.
Hogan's fundamental principles are also explored, along with supplementary drills, exercises, and a special chapter dedicated to anecdotes about the golfing legend.
The author acknowledges that these revelations are not his own golf techniques, but rather Hogan's, as described to him by fascinated professionals who studied or observed the iconic player. Through interviews with legendary names like Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, and Jack Nicklaus, as well as caddying and playing experiences, the author has meticulously compiled Hogan's wisdom, translating the often-colloquial terminology into clear, anatomical explanations for reliable transmission.
Chapters include: - Putting with Hogan's System - Chipping with Hogan's Magical Device - The Pitch Shot - The Three-Quarter Shot for Accuracy - Turning Through the Ball - Specialty Shots - Greenside Shots - Problem Shots - Golf Exercises at Home And much more.
The author's goal is to persuade readers to give Hogan's short game system an honest try, providing access to the golfing legend's insights and techniques in an easily digestible format. Through this comprehensive exploration, golfers can unlock the secrets behind Hogan's picture-perfect swing and apply them to improve their own short game mastery.
