Hitting the ball at trouble and moving it away... I heard Jack Nicklaus never aimed at trouble

Also heard a story about number 11 at Augusta final round. They tucked that pin next to water. Hogan believed if you hit it stiff, you missed the shot or you're just stupid . His recommendation was to hit the center of the green. Don't mess with that pin placement!

His philosophy was it was a game of bad shots. It's not how many good shots you hit. It's how good your bad shots are ! Excellent!

Jody Vasquez said Hogan aimed at trouble and worked the ball away from it, but I bet Hogan didn’t aim right on the 12th hole at Augusta.

This is why I love Mark Blackburn’s approach. He understands that everyone’s body is unique and there is not one perfect way to swing the golf club. Look at two of his star students: Max Homa and Colin Morikawa.

Bernhard Langer gave me; and, 2 other boys, a £ each to pick his practice balls up, back in '78. Can't remember how many there were. But, when hogan said the purpose of the backswing was to get the club in a position to deliver it to the ball, what he was saying was that we should get into a position where we can fuse the left hand towards the right hand at the top of the backswing. And, really, the right leg secret was more do with using his head as an extension of his right leg. If the head doesn't align with the right leg the leg can't fully extend. But, re: Faldo he actually said on twitter that Hogan himself told him his secret. But, it's fair to say it didn't work for him, primarily because he was preoccupied with getting his right shoulder in a high position at the top. The hands can't fuse in the transition when a player does this. Hogan actually kept pushing back with his left wrist joint, at the top, when his wrist joint couldn't push back any further. This increased the cupping of his left wrist; and, this enabled him to press the index finger side of his left hand towards the thumb pad of his right hand in the transition. Hogan does actually say in five lessons that the hands should fuse together, he just doesn't tell us how. If the left hand presses towards the right hand, at address, it activates the outside muscles and causes a hook. But, when a player presses the left hand towards the right hand at the top of the backswing, when the right arm is fully flexed, it activates the "inside muscles" in the right arm. This is why hogan placed such emphasis on the "inside muscles" in five lessons

Ogilvie also got up and down on 16. That no divot sweep it under the ball style served him well. That drive on 72nd hole was piped and to end up in a divot was a bad break. Nipped it out of that divot and the ball was over the false front and spun back into view and down that hill! Was a great up and down. I got the yardages for NBC. Had a good seat!

Jody’s personal experiences with Ben Hogan are the most informative, entertaining and insightful I’ve encountered in my career. Many people-tour pros, executives, writers etc.-describe encounters with him very well in an episodic kind of way. But Jody’s descriptions are intimate and add such special dimensions to Hogan as a player and person. Jody is very articulate and genuine and he comes from such a knowledgeable place (he’s one heckuva player, btw). I saw the raw manuscript of his wonderful book and knew people would cherish it when it came to fruition. I really enjoyed this video and seeing Jody talk it all through.

I purchased Jody's E Book version of Afternoons with Ben Hogan but it would be interesting to know if Mr. Hogan ever brought any instructional materials with him for his practice sessions. I read somewhere that he had an old dog-eared copy of Percy Boomer's book with him at times.
